Hermes $16,000 Carbon Fiber Briefcase
Hermès is known as one of the most luxurious and prestigious brands in the world, and their carbon fiber briefcase is a prime example of this:
The briefcase has a carbon fiber outercase and tan leather inner lining/handle. The locks are 18k gold plated, and there is also a small plate where your initials can be engraved. There are two different sizes, the larger (shown abobe) being 19″ X 14.5″ X 6″.
The briefcase has a limited production run of 500, and is priced at $16,000. Unfortunately the only place that I could find a picture or information was this eBay auction which has it priced for $10,000 new. I couldn’t find anything on the Hermès website. If anybody has or can find more pictures, please let me know.

“NOTE: I HAVE MORE THAN 2700 POSITIVE FEEDBACK ON EBAY AND NO NEGATIVES. I ONLY SELL AUTHENTIC AND GENUINE BRAND NAME MERCHANDISE. I DO NOT SELL FAKES OR VARIANTS. I ABSOLUTELY GUARNATEE THE AUTHENTICITY OF EVERY ITEM I SELL WITH A TEN TIMES MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.”
I need to get in touch with a Hermes store and find out for sure. I appreciate the heads up.
