Japanese-Inspired Luxury Bags

Hermes Releases the New Japanese Sandal-Inspired 'Geta Bag'

Inspired by traditional Japanese wooden sandals, the luxury handbag brand Hermès has unveiled its latest ‘Hermès Geta Bag.’ The sleek design includes nine different colors, all designed with the finest Mysore goatskin. The bag also features a bold, elongated “H” magnetic clasp that doubles as a pedestal.

Inspired by the resilience of women “as a point of attachment in an era of reconstruction,” the ‘Geta Bag’ also boasts a sliding system integrated into the bottom of the bag and an adjustable shoulder strap. This compact, symmetrical messenger bag doesn’t have the typical design of other Hermès bags. With Mother’s Day and summer approaching, this is perfect for any individual looking for a gift for mom, or a new purse to hit the patios with.
