What is now a colour that is synonymous with Hermès was one that the luxury brand involuntarily used as a result of rationing and shortages during World War II.

Early Hermès leather goods were initially packaged in a white or cream imitation pigskin boxes. The Nazi’s occupation of Paris meant that materials were scarce and difficult to find, so Hermès’ supplier offered the luxury brand the only packaging available left, a bright hued orange - the colour that no other company wanted.

From then on, the Hermès orange box was born and, due to consumers’ immediate link of the brand and their vivid orange boxes, Hermès applied for exclusive trademark rights for the colour.

In her collaboration with Singaporean footwear brand Charles & Keith, Danish fashion designer Cecilie Bahnsen brings her signature ready-to-wear dreamy and feminine aesthetic into four distinctive shoe designs.

The designer’s love and fascination for school uniforms is apparent, with black and white quilted Mary Janes featuring in her collaboration line-up.

Known for her easy to wear puff-sleeved quilted dresses, Bahnsen recycles her fabrics of past collections to be used in her shoes, in-tune with the designer’s ethos of using less and giving materials a second life.

Chanel are increasing the price of some of their fan-favourite style of bags. The difference in price will come at an increase of 5% to 17%, adding at least another NZD $390 to NZD $ 1,500 to their already hefty price tag.

Included in the price increase is the Classic, 2.55, Boy, Gabrielle, Chanel 19, as well as a few of their small leather goods range.

There is speculation that the luxury brand’s price increase comes after the impact of Covid-19 and their store closing. However, Chanel stated that their price increases are “implemented only after careful consideration, and are necessary for the brand to continue investing to maintain its core standards of creativity and craft.”

Photographers and fashion influencers alike aren’t using their quarantined time at home as an excuse to stop them from producing content. Many are turning to video chatting platforms to create a virtual photoshoot, in which the photographer video calls their subject and photographs them by pointing their lenses on the computer screen.

The result of these virtual portraits is nothing short of beautiful, with the computer screen blurring the subjects to create a more ethereal and soft quality to the images ✨

We look forward to seeing what Zac does next! @ New York

French fashion house Louis Vuitton has recently opened their latest leather bag factory in the town of Alvarado, Texas, located around 65 km outside of Dallas.

The factory employs local residents, whose hourly wages start at $13 USD, to craft the luxury brand’s signature leather and canvas bags. This is a departure from Louis Vuitton’s tradition of employing artisans, known as “petites mains”, to exclusively handcraft their leather goods in France.

The opening of their Texas factory comes after the French house’s needs of increasing production in order to meet their high demand. In addition, Louis Vuitton’s opening of the American based manufacturing centre is also a strategic move that they hope will avoid any trade dispute between the US and Europe, after the Trump administration placed tariffs on selected European goods.

To strengthen their ties, LVMH CEO and chairman Bernard Arnault has also gone as far as inviting US President Donald Trump to the newly opened factory’s ribbon cutting ceremony. The gesture, however, has not been supported by Louis Vuitton’s womenswear creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière, with the Frenchman stating, “I am a fashion designer refusing this [political] association.”
