MANILA, Philippines - Never thought you’d score your own Birkin or Kelly bag on Philippine soil?
Hermès, the venerable French saddler’s brand that Grace Kelly and Jane Birkin patronized — which in turn immortalized them in iconic leather arm candy waitlisted the world over — opened its first boutique to a packed throng of eager shoppers last Sunday at Greenbelt 4.
According to Mario Katigbak, Hermès’ country manager, prices at the Philippine boutique are the same as those in Hong Kong, so there’s no longer any need to go abroad to do your Christmas shopping.
Everything Hermès you need is right here. Here, a guide to the hottest holiday gift items.
