Hermès: Presentation of the Accessories Collection Spring-Summer 2011

Last week I was invited by the Maison Hermès to discover the next accessories collection Spring-Summer 2011. I’ve really liked the refined lines, the perfect know-how, the high quality and lightness of the leathers and fabrics. No matter if you are classic or not: here my first selection of the next exciting msut-have. To be continued: tomorrow, with Men and design accessories.

The White Hotel: Designers Xmas Shopping

Sunday 13 : 2.30 pm, after the brunch, I arrive at the White Hotel, for the Brussels Designr. RDV. Another Chrismas market. I decide to visit level by level, every room with a designer. Same principe as some Paris and cie professional events, fares or private sales. Except for a teddy bear’s brand and India-a-porter.com and Filles à Papa, I didn’t know any other brand. Lot’s of back and forth in the corridors. At 5 pm the event stops, shopkeepers are tired. Still many people everywhere and I haven’t finished yet the two last levels. Too bad. Here my shopping : visit their websites and you like something, contact them by e-mail. Some are not sold in shops in Brussels, Antwerp or Paris.
