Love the simplicity of the jumpsuits. A bit impractical to wear, but lovely.
I love the sandals. I have a pair from Emerson Fry (4 years old, wonderful quality) that are similar to the ones here that I put away last summer. Think I will bring them out again this summer since they look so right in this story.
What catches my eye is the simplicity/minimalism in these silhouettes. In the early 2000’s Hermes produced looks similar to this – streamlined, uncluttered/simple building blocks. What few Hermes pieces I have came from that era, and just last weekend I pulled one out: an unlined/collarless/buttonless/ cuffless/pocketless cashmere ‘jacket’ in Hermes orange (with a coordinating shawl) and wore it over a t-neck with brown suede jeans. My friend was shocked when I told her it was 18 years old! These pieces could have that staying power.
