LushWheels: Hermès does a Smart Car
It’s really amazing how many colors it comes in, as well as how much you can actually fit in this tiny little car. Very smart indeed. The leather interiors are all Hermès leather and comes in ten colors in total: from golds, greens, pinks, blues to the Hermès signature orange.
The unveiling marked Smart Car’s 10-year anniversary. Seems like just yesterday when I got angry at a Smart Car taking up a perfectly normal-sized parking space which appeared to be ‘empty’ before I arrived closer. (In fact it probably was yesterday… grrr…) But I can’t stay mad at them forever. Smart cars really are too cute! Especially in so many hot colors.
Hermès and anything will definitely add not only great publicity but also an increase in sales – let’s hope. For nobody dares to predict anything anymore in these volatile financial times… one thing’s for sure, last time Hermès collaborated with a car marker it retailed at $2.3 million. Smart car in this case is valued at a ‘bargain’ of $48,564.

That’s a small car but I love the bright accent colors against the white background!

They are cute cars but how practical could they be - they’re very small!
