Orange Crush: Hermès

dressdesign

Welcome to this month’s installment of Orange Crush, a collaboration between Down and Out Chic and FTRB where we celebrate our favorite color, orange!

I honestly don’t know how I’ve done all these Orange Crush posts without doing one on Hermès! I think just the sight of those orange boxes makes most of us happy.

But when they contain things like this cashmere blanket, it’s even better!

And what about the vintage tray:

Unfortunately, it’s virtually impossible to get your hands on one.

And speaking of rare items:

leica

I am positively DYING over this Leica M7, Edition Hermes. It is a limited edition collector’s item and as a sometimes-photographer and huge Leica fan, I’d be all over this . . .  except for one wee little fact. It runs around $14,000. Ouch, right? So while I go off to sulk, please head over to Down and Out Chic for the other half of today’s Orange Crush post on orange flowers.

    Orange…love orange. Have to be careful too much orange doesn't find its way into my home! My favorite orange piece is a Mitchell Gold "Freud" chaise lounge in orange leather. Off to check out the other part of this post…what a great idea to "split" a post! Janell

    p.s. the tray would look fabulous in my home…sigh.

    I love that room with the suspended beds. Kasler? And I'm always on the lookout for one of those gorgeous trays.

    Ah, Hermes….

    Hermes has had in collection brushed orange and brown mohair throws. I found out a while ago that they were hand made by a Finnish textile artesan. Visited her work room and saw some unbrushed throws with paper note "Hermes", she told that she has some throws left from the orders she has delivered to Hermes, but without Hermes tags.

    Now I am wondering if I should buy one from her….

    All lovely! I need more orange over here too. And a tray like that! Is it really mission impossible? I think that Sue Zhush has one – she needs to tell us how she found one!

    You've stumbled upon a dream of mine…to have lots of hermes boxes stacked up for display!! The only problem – I can't track down any boxes without splurging on the hermes products to get the boxes :) So until then I can just ooh and ahh over pictures like these!

    The iconic hermes box. I do love it. Love the symbolism: quality craftsmanship, enduring style, bold and subdued, classic and current. I know some people think displaying them is pretentious but I think that like anything else, it depends on your attitude and approach. Love them.

    Love Hermes just bought an unused scarf of some years in its orange envelope… all keys . My dear French friend is a fan and I buy for her. Brigitte bought me a leather cuff with stud in the 80's ,it lives in a gorgeous round box. I love the perfumes too.

    Lovely blog.. bought Brigitte a blanket in Navy and red 12 years ago ? would love a tray

    p.s the scarf is for sale

    Oh you had me at the title, Ally! I adore Hermés, their classic orange, and their brand. Just lovely! And these pieces? Amazing. I secretly really want the tray + hope to put it on my wedding registry one day :)

    I JUST bought the orange vintage tray(metal not wood) at Lillian August in Greenwich, CT and there is another store called Reinfret that is getting a whole shipment in the next month or two…I agree that it is amazing! It gives just the right pop of color
