As the world made the switch from horse to automobile, the bag adapted, becoming a multifunctional travel satchel instead of a designated saddlebag. A tall bag secured with a folded leather flap (fastened with bridle-inspired straps), it was designed to transport riding boots and a harness. The first top-handled bag ever produced by Hermès was the Haut à courroies, which made its debut in 1892. Gradually, the house extended into accessories and luggage for its riders, and today, in paying homage to its origins, the family-run luxury brand resurfaces horse motifs in everything from clothing and modernist jewelry to pillows and handbags. In 1837, German-born French entrepreneur Thierry Hermès opened a saddle and harness purveyor in Paris.
In the meantime, I wanted to share this with you before the trays sell out! Keep up with my updates on Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.For Hermès, what began as a maker of leather equestrian goods for European noblemen would eventually grow into one of the most storied fashion labels in the world.
#Hermes tray update
What do you think?! I’m personally pretty excited about the way it turned out! I’m not quite done decorating and this bar cart is not quite styled the way I want it yet, so stay tuned for an update on the make over and all the final details. Tray without logo, another view (Photo: Chic in Academia) Tray without logo (Photo: Chic In Academia) The size is perfect for the side of the tray I found on eBay!! I ordered both and one week later, I had my own Hermès replica tray for about $35! Here’s a sneak peak of the tray: They have several sizes, but happen to have a decal that measures 5.5″ x 1″. Hermès Wall Decal, Trading Phrases, $14.99 (Photo: Trading Phrases) Honestly, initially, I didn’t have plans to make my own Hermès DIY tray but, then, I happened to come across this decal while shopping for decals for my office wall and decided I’d give it a try! I like that it has the mirrored bottom, and also loved the price! You can find this one on eBay from seller Timeless-Settings for a mere $20! Score! There is also a round one you can buy for $52 dollars, but again, that starts to get a bit out of my price range, so I stuck with the $20 tray. Orange Lacquer Tray, eBay, $20 (Photo: Timeless Settings) That’s when I found this one I decided for in the end on eBay! So, I searched for just a simple tray instead. I still felt like $100 was too much for a replica.

#Hermes tray free
If you’re not a big ‘pinner’ feel free to peruse my boards from time to time! Anyway, after searching Pinterest a few times, I did find some replicas or ‘inspired’ trays that were reasonably priced but as I am decorating this office on a budget, I really wanted to pay less than $50 for mine. Pinterest is a great place to seek inspiration. I’d known for some time that I wanted one, so I searched Pinterest for possible places to purchase one that wasn’t going to cost me an arm and a leg. If you’ve read my blog once or twice, you know that I’m not one to pay retail, but that instead, I’m one to seek luxe for less. The one pictured above is a vintage tray that sells for $875.
I’ve posted a couple of updates so far, but today got lots of questions about one of the items in my post: an Hermès tray! If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I’ve undertaken an office-makeover project at work.
