The Hermes signature is pricey
For the gentlemen willing to spend an remarkably high amount in a relatively short time, we have the ideal suggestion: a $91 500 t-shirt with the Hermes signature, available this season in one of the brand’s boutiques on Madison Avenue.
Of course, the well-known brand guarantees the elegance, the mastery and the longevity specific for Hermes clothing, but the price is also explained by a surprising detail: the t-shirt is made of crocodile leather, an unusual material for such clothing.
This is not the first time the famous fashion house surprises with the fancy prices. Last year, a bag made from solid gold and diamonds, which imitates crocodile leather, was estimated at $1 980 034 and, in 2011, a limited edition Birkin bag, also made from crocodile leather, with white gold and diamonds, was sold into an auction to an anonymous buyer for the record price of $203 150. Three other Birkin bags were sold at the same auction for the prices of $113 526, $95 000 and a little bit over $80 000.
Any buyers?
