The Hermes Jypsiere first premiered in the Hermes Fall/Winter 2008 collection under the vision of previous artistic director Jean-Paul Gaultier. For many, the Jypsiere looks like a re-interpretation of the Kelly or Birkin Bag in messenger form. Gaultier felt inspired to create a casual, traditional bag with a twist that complemented the nature, hunting, and fishing motif of the 2008 show.

A lot of people have told me that wallets are like shoes – you really don’t need that many. I feel that a wallet is not only a great accessory but also makes me smile from ear to ear when I find a new one that I can add to my collection. Crazy….perhaps…..but it’s TRUE!

So what is it about the Hermes Kelly Wallet that makes it so great?

We love the Hermes Kelly Wallet; we love the Hermes Jige Wallet, but the Dogon? We think this wallet has been underrated, the model images at Hermes looks too simple, then why not take a closer look.Most of Hermes’s accessories are nice, including the Hermes Dogon Wallet. This Wallet conquers your heart with its minimal look, single colors but durable leather mixed with impeccable craftsmanship.

The Hermes Constance Wallet resembles from an iconic bag; the Hermes Constance Bag. The Constance Bag is one of the oldest handbags of the house; it was designed by Catherine Chaillet back in the 1959. And as an honour, the bag was named after her fifth child. The Hermes Constance Bag’s fame rapidly increased after the former First Lady of the United States, Jacqueline Kennedy, was seen carrying the bag.

One of the holy grails of bags as far as I’m concerned, the Hermès Haut À Courroies (or HAC for short) has been in existence (and production) since 1892, created by Émile-Maurice Hermès who modelled it after the totes used by Argentinian cowboys while on a trip to South America.
