Hermès accused of burning it's unwanted iconic bags

Yes, brace yourselves, it has been recently revealed by MULBERRY creative director Emma Hill,  that the luxury giants Hermès will burn their less than perfect creations. The designer appointed former Hermès buying director Bruno Guillon as her new chief executive in December last year.


"A friend who was working at Hermès said that if there was even the most minor imperfection on a bag they would take it out the back and burn it - no compromise," Hill told the Telegraph. "No one can touch them in terms of quality."


This isn't the first time news has emerged of the label's luxurious bags being burnt - Clint Eastwood's model daughter, Francesca, set fire to her £100,000 Birkin last month for a photograph taken by her boyfriend, Tyler Shields.
Clint Eastwood's model daughter Francesca has come under fire in the US for agreeing to do just that for her photographer boyfriend Tyler Shields. Also unspeakable things with a chain saw!


Shields is known for his series of pictures showing expensive items destroyed or ablaze alongside phrases like "Fashion Kills" and "Money Kills" - and insisted the Birkin was set to be the next victim. Eastwood protested that the bag was too beautiful to be destroyed - in the latest episode of the couple's reality television show, Mrs. Eastwood & Company on E! - but Shields was unmoved.


"We're talking about a bag," Shields said. "It's no different than a bag you get at the grocery store. You carry your shit in it."

The luxury giants recently dismantled an international crime ring on the internet selling counterfeits  and won a £63 million pound law suit.
