Where There’s Hermes There’s Usually Chanel

Vienna is a very cosmopolitan, multi-cultural town. It has its own sense of fashion vibe like any city secure in its identity.

So on one of my days here, I thought I’d chase down the shopping scene while touring the historic center. I get to the Kohlmarkt area first, where all the fancy stores are, and my first pit stop is Hermes. Wouldn’t it be fun to buy this bicycle and see the rest of Vienna Hermes style?

Where there’s Hermes there’s usually Chanel…

In fact, I spot quite a few Chanel bags on the arms and shoulders of many ladies in this area.

Did I say how warm it’s been here in Vienna? What better way to fight the heat with a nice cold glass of Austrian beer?

If you love pretty sweet treats and gorgeous architecture as much as I do, I’ll have a very special entry for you soon. I’m heading across the border again today so if there’s no wifi where I’m going, I’ll see you in a few days and I’ll pick up the story from Vienna then.
