Citröen 2CV By Hermès

SLIDESHOW

When it comes to leather works, there’s nothing like a good original Hermes. (I could suffer the insult of a Hermès-imitation, just for the flattery!)

This very special Hermes tops Katie Holmes Haute de Courroies! By far! It’s the legendary Citröen 2CV, Hermès-treated. It’s the 60th anniversary gift for the tiny 2CV and was introduced at the Paris Motor Show, on October 7. Hermès detailed the natural leather trim from the door facings, the interior rearview mirror, the gear knob, steering wheel and driver’s sun visor. (more after the jump)

The two seats are also made by Hermès with natural leather and grey beige cotton canvas. The bonnet and interior trim at the rear of the 2CV is also made of Hermès cotton canvas. It all looks Hermès-gorgeous. Except for this brown-ish color reminding me of the Bugatti Hermès. Shouldn’t they paint it red? (via)
