FOUR unique Hermès handbags are to be sold by Christie’s in an on-line only sale. Hermès has created four one-of-a-kind versions of its Passe-Guide handbag representing England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales to celebrate its ‘Leather Forever’ exhibition which opens in London on May 8. During the exhibition Christie’s will run an on-line only auction of the handbags. The sale will begin on May 14 and end on May 31. All proceeds will be donated to The Royal Academy of Arts. The online-only Hermès Auction builds on the success of Christie’s inaugural ‘online-only’ sale last December as part of the series dedicated to The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor. The “Leather Forever” exhibition runs at 6 Burlington Gardens, London, W1 from May 8-27 .
