For the upcoming Spring/Summer, lady-like elegance is all the rage. The perfect accessory to go with your girly ensemble is the Hermès Passe-Guide Bag in Box. It is actually a reissued design of a purse created by Henry d’Origny in 1975. This classic box-style purse gives a cool vintage vibe while the gold hardware perks it up. The simple design of the purse makes it very wearable and appropriate for everyday use.

We especially love the gold clasp in the center. The clasp is named after and refers to the ring that kept the reins of a chariot in place during Ancient Roman times. The lambskin-lined “box” is luxurious, simple and classy all at the same time which just makes us crave it more.

This bag retails at $11,700 and is available at Hermès stores nationwide. For store information, please call 1-800-441-4488 or www.hermes.com
