Hermes International, the renowned French luxury brand, has introduced a reusable paper envelope priced at around $125 (Rs. 10,413) as part of its upscale stationery line. Made in France, the silk-wrapped envelope is available in two sizes, A4 and A5. People's opinions on the item are divided, with some deeming it overpriced and others seeing it as a status symbol.

I have nothing against Hermes, no one is putting a gun to my head to buy the envelope, but the liberal women who love Hermes,are up in arms.

Hermes has every right to offer their envelope for sale at whatever price they choose. It’s up to the market to tell them whether they’ve chosen wisely.

Karens are mad. It makes them drink more box wine.

Who cares.. if someone wants to waste money on frivolity, and have it to waste... so be it.

YES, I WILL OPENLY MOCK THEM OR DOING SO... but I am not going to attack the people for making the object in the first place.

People have also decided that a ten year loan for a 100k pickup is also a good deal. One of the problems of the free market is that idiots also get a vote.

People have also decided that a ten year loan for a 100k pickup is also a good deal.

That's because their mind is so simple that they can only focus on one thing, the monthly payment, the rest is just too complicated.

There’s an idea. Reusable boxed wine for $150. Eco friendly.

It used to be a saying that nobody ever went broke catering to the rich..........May need to revisit that now..............

I always wondered how they got together in the first place.

Can’t wait for them to get into the toilet paper business.

As long as The Big Guy and other grifters receive their 10%,the Leviathan will purchase a lot of the envelopes with other people’s money. I can just see the Federally funded NGOs purchasing them, saying they are saving the planet, or some such other idiocy.

I heard that there’s an iPhone cover that costs $10K, and it’s all the rage in Hollywood. Women buy them to show off to other women.
