Wicker is Sicker - Hermes Picnic CDC

With the wicker trend here to stay as a classic on the map now with fashionistas, I have been scouring for some unique wicker pieces that have taken my breath away! Of course we are all in LOVE with the NEW Hermes Mini Picnic Kelly bag which was just released a few days ago, however I wanted to see if I could source a few pieces that were extremely rare.

The first piece I came across was the ever so chic Hermes Picnic Collier De Chien (CDC) bracelet. I have seen this bracelet before in 2011 when it was released from Jean Paul Gaultier’s collection for Hermes and it has been on my radar ever since. This rare CDC piece has the classic medor look with Palladium hardware and it is accented with Barenia brown leather. This piece is handmade and hand woven from wicker which just makes it so much more amazing. If you are ever lucky enough to come across one of these pieces, I would definitely pick it up as these are not seen very much.

The other piece I was able to score was the rare Tiffany & Co Wicker Clutch! This gorgeous handmade clutch features the a gold chain which can be worn outside or put inside to make the clutch look. The interior of the bag features the ever so classic Tiffany Blue leather as the lining and it can fit quite a bit. I try not to put too much in it as it has to be taken care of since wicker can crack easily if put to the test.

With the release of the New Hermes Picnic Kelly, these rare wicker items that I scored from almost a decade ago are instant classics as they are not going out of fashion EVER. These wicker looks will be classics forever.
