Hermes Dogon Wallets

I love the dogon wallets of Hermes. My very first wallet from Hermes was a rouge garrance dogon with gold hardware which I had bought back in late 2005 (and began using only in early 2006– I postponed the use of the wallet out of guilt for having bought a really expensive wallet hahaha… Also because I couldn’t fathom using red since I gave up the color for years *after my dad passed away*. Back then too, all my wallets were presents from my family– I never had to shell out a single cent for them hahaha… I’m a cheapskate 😀 But I loved my wallets– they were by Gucci, and well, Gucci is a good brand for wallets because of the many card slots!

Anyway, once I began using the red dogon, I never looked at another wallet again. And no, not because it was an Hermes wallet. I didn’t even like the other H wallets (the bearn). I loved my red wallet so much that it was not until early 2008 that I decided to retire it out of serious abuse. Don’t get me wrong, the wallet’s not “dead”. It’s in fact, still in impeccable condition. I was actually hoping before that it would already “die” like my other wallets (so I could get a new one haha), but it never did. It was really a very good wallet, and stood the test of time.

I moved on with a brown dogon, and then a raisin one, and of late, a dogon in etoupe with vert anis combination. I have been changing wallets in such a short span of time– only because the colors Hermes offered for the dogon became too impossible to resist.

I tell you again, the dogon is a fantastic wallet. It can hold up to 13/14 cards (double-store the cards in each “slot”)– license, credit card, discount card… name it and as long as the size is standard, the dogon can hold it. The greatest feature about the dogon wallet is the removable small compartment/ coin purse which has 2 card slots. If you were going on a night out and were to use a smaller bag or clutch, you simply remove the smaller compartment and use that as your wallet.

Of late, the dogon wallets come in fantastic colors– I saw a lagoon colored dogon back in Hong Kong (and I had a hard time resisting it but I did– and I’m proud of it– haha that’s cause I had no moolah on me). Then there was a soleil yellow wallet which was fantastic.

And then this new color came out called Alezan. My SA said it was a new color for 2009 and I just nodded absently as I inspected the wallet. I love that the combination is on the brown side with orange. Subtly reminded me of the Hermes orange box 😉 And the clou de selle is in gold as opposed to the more common palladium.(On the left is my current wallet)

So now, I have an oversupply of Hermes dogon wallets, but obviously not enough cash to fill them *muwahaha*. The only question now is, which colored wallet should I be using first in my “rotation”?

Don’t you all wish our life problems were just this simple? Hehehe 😀 For now, let my happiness rest on these wallets 🙂 Hermes dogon wallets are priced approximately at US$1,575++

For those of you who have dogon wallets, do share photos of them if you find the time 😀 Email me at tresormakati@gmail.com.
