shop shop till you drop... can't stop spending recently...

here is my latest hermès acquisition, a mc2 continental wallet in epsom and the color is called sienne. according to the s.a. this is the new color for f/w 2009.

epsom leather : this is an embossed leather, in other words the pattern is imprinted into the leather and what you see is not its natural grain. the process of embossing compresses the leather and gives the leather some rigidity. this is a phenomenon common to all the embossed leathers and to the stretched ones as well. epsom appears to be laminated as it is easy to clean with a damp cloth, which is one of the advantages to this leather. in addition, it is lightweight.
