Dear PurseBop: Why Has Hermès Been Releasing So Many New Non-Quota Bag Styles Recently?
Hermès bags all have one thing in common: they are impeccably designed and created by hand. The workmanship, materials, and design are unmatched with any other luxury maison. As a result, the demand for the bags has exploded over the past 5 years.
