Let me just start by saying that I love change and believe in evolving and updating one's look on occasion, taking into account one's age and position in life at the time. That said, I am not one to change for the sake of changing. Which is what Jean Paul Gaultier did with the classic Hermes Kelly bag. He crushed them and wrapped a thin leather strap around them. Why? For what purpose? It's horrible and useless and I hate it, what are you supposed to put in there? A couple of crumpled bills? I've often committed to print that Hermes could do no wrong, I am now officially retracting that. Because this is just wrong wrong wrong. Jean Paul, I know you are French but there is an old America adage you should be aware of, "it it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Too heinous for words.
what in the world is that?!?!?!!? a crushed birkin alright...omg...
Yes my friend, a crushed bag that will probably cost more than the classic version... would you pay $7,000 for this? Being a loyal Hermes client, I am mortified and feel it is a disgrace to the design house.
Bag Snob
think he was trying to emulate that classic hermes watch that wraps around the wrist a few times.
it doesn't even look practical to use. I've seen it unfolded and the shape isn't good. I personally think if you need to fold a bagup to pack for travel etc., you should just stick to a Longchamp tote.
