The new HERMÈS is located at No. 5 Canton Road, Hong Kong. The exterior of this new five-storey store is covered by deep red lacquered metal panels, distinguishing the classic HERMÈS ‘Greek’ emblem. According to the time of the day, either the ochre or deep red becomes the dominating shade of the store. The space occupies 397 square meters, designed and built by RDAI, the architectural agency directed by Rena Dumas, who is in charge of the design for HERMÈS boutiques worldwide.
Separated in two levels, customers would take the entrance and encounter silk and perfumes areas, and then leather goods and accessories. The tie display sets the menswear department aside. A staircase situated in the heart of menswear, leads to second floor with womenswear, jewellery and watches, as well as table ware and home ware. The VIP area is located on the top floor, which is decorated with leather interior and available for private previews.
