Someday…

Someday, when I no longer have a conscience, I’m going to treat myself to one of these $530 Hermes beach towels because I absolutely adore elephants.  Do you think their terry cloth is woven with gold thread?  One wonders…  If only they weren’t so darn cute.

    I can imagine laying on these would be a lot like laying on really nice bed sheets.

    They are SO cute. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see them on bluefly at the end of the season. Seems there are always a random few towels or napkins :) Marija

  3. Kirby — Good point! One doesn’t bat an eye when splurging on sheets… XO

    Oh Marija! You are so full of good tips. Bluefly it is—conscience intact. XO

    I don’t blame you! Those are adorable!

    love love love. it’s certainly way too much for a towel, but maybe it’s like nice underwear… freakishly expensive and seemingly silly, but you feel so good when you’ve got it on!

  6. Erin — Good analogy! I would feel pretty fantastic basking on one of these poolside…sigh.

    These are so cute! I can’t even imagine spending 350 dollars on a beach towel it is just unimaginable to me!

  10. StylishBird says:

    OMG I adore these towels! $500 is pretty steep though. Not sure I could justify it.

  11. Piper says:

    We must be thinking along the same lines…I just was talking about how I’m obsessed with Hermes boxes!! So you can have the adorable towels…if you give me the box :)!

  12. These are indeed very beautiful! But $500 on a beach towel?! wow.

  13. holy CR$%$!!! i am gonna try and will them my way..the $500 makes it that much more covetted! i wish i could price like hermes and get away with it..

  14. Beautiful! I want a great big cute beach towel. But they are not cheap! This one in particular!

    Cheers,
    Alaina

    Ugh. They’re really freakin expensive.

    But I will say, my friend’s mother bought these, and they’re the fluffiest, coziest towels I’ve EVER used.

    I wouldn’t pay $500, but I’d gladly accept one as a gift!

  16. Kate — Will your friend’s mother please adopt me? That’d be swell. XO Katie

    That is so funny! Just this past weekend I swear I was telling Eric that someday I want the Hermes “H” throw blanket. But hello! It costs $2,500! Love these towels too. Ugh, someday I suppose:)

  19. StyleCurator says:
