First off, you gotta understand Hermes isn’t just about, like, slapping a logo on a t-shirt. They’re all about this “high precision” thing, especially when it comes to metal – weird, right? I mean, I saw something about “metal high precision precision press processing” and I’m thinking, “Okay, so they’re *really* into how they make their belt buckles?” Maybe that translates into their zippers being, like, the smoothest zippers *ever*. I don’t know, just spitballin’ here.
Then, BAM! You see all these ads popping up – “New shorts and pants!”, “New knitwear and twill!” – all screaming “Hermes!”. It’s a bit much, kinda overwhelming actually. Like, calm down, I’m just trying to buy some jeans, not declare my undying devotion to French luxury.
And the cashmere? Oh god, the cashmere. “New cashmere creations like scarves and shawls.” I mean, who *doesn’t* love a good cashmere scarf? But the price tag probably makes my eyes water just thinking about it. I bet it’s super soft, though. You know, the kind of soft that makes you want to just… cuddle a cloud.
But it’s not all just fluff and fancy fabrics. They got proper *clothes*, clothes-clothes! Dresses, skirts, coats, jackets… all made with “impeccable know-how.” I guess that means they don’t just slap things together. It’s got some history, some soul, some… something. I dunno, that’s what their ads are trying to sell me anyway.
Then there’s this quote about Nichanian applying “tremendous precision,” and it’s all about jackets and coats, bombers and raincoats, parkas and duffle coats… It’s a whole *thing*. Apparently, each one is a “perfect blend of…” something-or-other. I lost track. Honestly, it sounds exhausting to be that perfect. Like, can’t they just make a slightly wonky seam *once*? Just for kicks?
Oh, and Mr. Porter! He’s chiming in too. “Iconic bags,” “elegant scarves,” “exquisite perfumes”… all “timeless.” Over a century of *timelessness*. That’s a lot of pressure. I’m just trying to find a decent pair of pants that don’t make me look like a potato.
