Istanbul, Turkey: Favorite Designers (LV, YSL, Hermes) Stores at Airport

We recently flew into Istanbul Airport for an overnight layover as we made our way to Germany.  (BTW, this season of Covid-19 is not an ideal time to go to Germany.  We had a legitimate, allowable excuse -- but it was a hassle to get into the country as a US citizen, whew!).  The sight of these designer stores more than made up for any pandemic-related  unpleasantness related to our trip.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

18And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

- 2 Corinthians 5

Hermes Birkin in Crocodile

Hermes: LV has its eye on you!

An interesting article to me, an Hermes novice. From one extreme of the spectrum to the other --- LVMH versus Hermes --- who will eventually win? Also little bit of its history, all about scarves and saddles, plus, of course, their bags...the always drool-worthy Kellys and Birkins.
