Hermés never fails to serve up luxurious decadence in their holiday windows and this year is no exception. From gold metallic boxing gloves, to an ostrich motorcycle helmet, to a lavender colored crocodile Kelly bag, to a sliver fox and shearling cape, the windows are pure fantasy along with the price tags.
Leila Menchari the genius window designer, celebrates her fiftieth year working for Hermés and is still pulling out all the stops in creating the fabulous windows.

LOVE me some Hermes but if you can't afford one of these small wonders try the newest fragrance - it smells like flowers! Not floral. . .FLOWERS! Like walking through a flower garden! SUBLIME! Hope I get it for Christmas as I know I won't be getting the lavender Kelly bag that's also on my list.
