Two years ago, the Hermès boutique closed its doors for renovation. Inaugurated on Tuesday evening for the VIPs, the store will officially re-open on Wednesday morning. 

The store has been expanded after the purchase of the building located 42, Avenue George V. It extends on 3 floors and 555 square meters where “creation, savoir-faire and french craftmanship are enlighted through excellent collections and materials ” added the french House.

All the universes of the brand- silk, perfumes, leatherwork- are represented with the decoration and the architecture of the store.

The biggest innovation is the custom-made space dedicated to men. Decorated with baroque mouldings and  a plam leaves pattern, in a grey blue atmosphere, the room constrats with the pearly pink women space.

The re-opening of this storecould be the occasion for the brand to revive their sales of the Birkin bag which are falling down since the beginning of 2018.
