The Hermes Kelly is one of the most iconic bags in fashion history. Made famous by Grace Kelly in 1956, the bag originally had a much more French name, Sac à dépêches. Thanks to the Princess of Monaco, the bag has enjoyed over half a century of unmitigated popularity and has a name we can all pronounce. In honor of the latest additions to the Hermes Kelly tradition, I’ve chosen to review the Hermes Kelly Clutch Orange Bag this week.

Recently, I had the opportunity to visit Las Vegas. While the famous Vegas Strip is certainly home to more than a little gambling, it was the shopping possibilities that really piqued my interest. Since I don’t live in one of the world’s great shopping meccas, it was a welcome and rare opportunity to visit the shops of all my favorite couture brands while sipping designer iced tea (no joke!) and pretending to have money. Naturally, the Hermes store was high on my priority list.

There is hardly any fabric or color more versatile and widely used than khaki. In 1858, the British Army adopted khaki uniforms for service in India. Made of twilled cotton and/or linen, the first khaki cloth was ideal for use in India’s hot climate. Since then, clothing and accessories dyed a light shade of tan been the standard attire when adventuring outdoors. In the 1950’s and 60’s, khaki was an essential component of Tiki culture. The appropriate mode of dress when attending a Tiki party or backyard luau was/is some combination of khaki and clothing with a Hawaiian print.

Versatility is a quality that is difficult to find when shopping for belts, bags and accessories. Even amongst name brands and in the high fashion world versatility is rarely seen. It’s not impossible, though. Every once in a while you’ll happen upon an accessory piece or pair of shoes that seem as though they would compliment any outfit.

When you hear the name “Hermes” you are likely to think one of two things: Either Hermes bags or the Greek god of the same name. In Greek mythology Hermes was the herald of the gods. He was responsible for carrying messages between the immortals in every realm in which they dwelled. This must have been an incredibly difficult job for one being, so he was equipped with a red cape and magical winged shoes that transported him to and fro at unearthly speeds. What does this have to do with anything? His speed and dependability always remind me of the sleekness of the Hermes Constance in Red. This bag has all of the style that is the Hermes brand, but with an added bit of fire. It is impossible not to feel capable of godly feats with an Hermes Constance in Red by your side.

We’ve all heard it said: Every lady should have a Birkin bag. However, few can afford the brand-name prices of these chic accessories. This is where Hermes Replica Bags come in. Now, before you think “Ick, replica handbags? How can they possibly be as classy as the real Hermes collection?” I would like to draw your attention to the Hermes Birkin Horse Embossed Gold Hardware Tote Grey. This is one of the finest examples I have seen of Hermes Replica Bags. The sleek lines of this bag combined with its gold closures, zipper and rings make it an ideal replica handbag choice for any Birkin-necessary situation.
