Is it wrong that I kind of love those ridiculous Hermès envelopes?

Luxury brands are known for their opulence but it's rare to see humble stationery getting the star treatment, until now. Design house Hermès is changing the luxury game with a series of delightfully ostentatious envelopes for delivering some seriously posh post.

Most famous as one of the best fashion logos, Hermés' entry into the world of practical postage supplies has raised some eyebrows due to its hefty price tag. Despite this, I can't help but be a little enamoured by the intricate envelope designs (even if they make stamp prices seem uncharacteristically cheap by comparison).
