As many of you have been reading, Bernard Arnault is buying up Hermes stock like crazy. LVMH now has over a 20% stake in the family controlled Hermes. It's quite the luxury business story.
I think one of the most iconic Vuitton bags is the classic Speedy which comes in many sizes and I assume the handbag version was inspired by the luggage version. The Victoria 35cm bag below is a condensed version of a classic piece of Hermes luggage, too. We have a very collectible vintage version that we posted last week and you can click here to see it. Like a Speedy (gosh if anyone from the Hermes family reads this I hope they forgive me for making a comparison between LV and Hermes!), this bag has an easy access zipper running the body of the bag and is super light with a chevron linen lining. It's what I would call ultra-efficient, practical, and in the neutral taupe color and delicious Taurillion Clemence leather, a great investment since the bag is so classic and based on a perfect vintage model that's been tested on many a voyage. We are selling it for a little under half of retail. Pre-owned, but gently used, it's a good addition to a wardrobe of a woman (or a man -- this is really gender neutral) who wants to increase his or her Hermes stock in the closet! You will have to fit with LVMH for the other stock...
