The money makes it worthwhile, though. I should be able to quit my corporate cubicle within a year.
Nice! -
And I thought my recent purchases of my first Coach purses was extravagant (and a good investment, too)!

Yes, Eau de Fungicide.
:o)
My wife would love one but unless you can find a less expensive used one, it’s crazy.
My dad bought my mother Hermes scarves and a suede riding skirt and a cashmere sweater and my wife inherited all that.
Aside from that the only Hermes we own is parfum.
I am getting my wife some Christian Louboutin pumps for our anniversary. Toe cleavage and all.
I’d just as soon have had Jane herself, circa 1967. ;-D
Hah.....memories...
We used to go to Europe every fall and I always went to Hermes Paris store and got stuff. One day a woman came out the door walking like she owned the world (she probably did) and she was tall and had long black hair, was wearing sunglasses, over the knee red suede boots and a red fur coat - bright red to match her boots. Something you’d NEVER see in a 1000 years here in Portland! LOL

Michael Tonello grew up in Massachusetts amidst the windswept dunes and ever-encroaching tourism of Cape Cod. He attended New York City's Fordham University for almost a full day, before beginning an ambitious field study of New York socialites in their native nightlife habitats.
A few months later, armed with a vast array of discotheque expertise, (but no longer possessed of parental financial support), he made his way out to San Francisco. The West coast would be his home for five years, and the start of his career in hair and makeup. Eventually co-founding a successful company—an innovative advertising collaborative called TEAM—Michael returned to his native Massachusetts, settling into the artists' colony of Provincetown. But a chance job assignment in Spain would prove fateful, and Michael went from P-townie to expatriate in a flash, resettling in Barcelona.
Pressed to find a profession that didn't necessitate working papers, he turned in his makeup bag for a laptop. Quickly finding his niche as an eBay luxury reseller, he soon after began his lucrative relationship with all things Hermès.
Michael lives in Barcelona with his partner Juan.
Boy, that’s a heck of a site! It makes me wonder about some of the bags I’ve bought in recent years.
Have you had an experience with them?
I’ve had my eye on a pricey Balenciaga bag for months and it’s available there. Are they otherwise reputable?
Ah... one of the classic fragrances, I'm told! ;-)
Good Hermes copies

I don’t purchase nor wear knock-offs. People who wear knock-offs are generally tacky.
Well, to be honest, I only referenced the site to show a cheaper comparison to the pricier model. I’ve never purchased anything for them.
