this exchange just took place in the hermes store in the lobby:

me: excuse me…how much is that notebook?
saleswoman: that’s about two hundred eighty dollars.
me: ok thank you. how much for the hippo? (a small bookmark)
saleswoman: that’s a hundred and sixty.
me: for just the hippo?
saleswoman: (completely straightfaced) yes. it’s leather.

oh…well then. who knew that leather was the most mystical and rare of all materials.
