These Hermès Accessories Hit The Ball Right Out Of The Park

For spring-summer 2018, Hermès uses sports iconography as visual hooks for their accessories. Backpacks feature the stitching pattern of basketballs, and bag tags resemble two-dimensional softballs. Read about it here. It’s literal, but no doubt what modern Hermès should look like. Hermès has always been the pinnacle of pop culture, from its roots to the equestrian, to now, its Instagrammable tchotchkes. Fashion today seems to borrow from previous decades or emulate what our music idols are into, but Hermès continues to sit above that trend. Using such universal references, i.e. ball games, we don’t need to BUY INTO the brand, we already love them when we see them.

The latest Hermès collection is available in all Singapore boutiques now till mid-July. Find out more about it online.
