It all began from a recent trip this past November. My partner Jeff surprised me with an early Christmas Hannukah present by taking me to the most romantic location in the planet~Paris. The City of Lights did not disappoint and between the Tour de Eiffel that was bathe in magical blue light and the ever enigmatic Mona Lisa, I couldn't ask for more.
We did the usual tourist fair of strolling down Champs- Élysées, sipping coffee at a sidewalk cafe, and the endless round of museums that holds the world's most famous artworks. It was on our way back to the US as we were killing time at Charles de Gaulle airport that I decided to visit the duty free shops. I ended up going home carrying a big orange paper bag much to the excitement of a group of ladies on our flight. It was November 11.
My very first Hermès is a Sac Troca MM Vertical. Spacious and has numerous compartments, this bi-material tote is just what I need for all weather conditions. It came in a huge, orange box with tissue paper pillows. I was extremely worried that it might not fit in the overhead bin but it came home with us safe and sound.
Moments after we touchdowned at Dulles International, I immediately took a snapshot of our trunk and sent it to all my friends via MMS without any caption.
Within a minute or two, the orange bag garnered quite a few responses. Of course, I couldn't wait to show it to my friends so, the following weekend when we had a welcome back brunch, I had it with me.
