HERMÈS
Showcasing Products Born from "Dreams"

From Bags to Surfboards and Cars
Hermès' annual theme for 2019 is "In Pursuit of Dreams."
Among these, Hermès' special orders are perhaps most strongly linked to this theme. For those who harbor dreams, and for Hermès' creators and artisans, it can be described as a playground where the Maison's playful spirit can be expressed.
Exceptional craftsmanship, cherished by Hermès, is brought to life here.
An exhibition, "The Shape of Dreams: Hermès Bespoke Objects," focusing on the many items created through these special orders, is now being held.
At this event, visitors can encounter these bespoke objects and learn about the stories of the "dreams" that inspired their creation.
Displayed are items imbued with special meaning: a surfboard adorned with a scarf pattern, a jukebox designed to play 33rpm LPs, a bag crafted to perfectly resemble a green apple for a dear friend, and the "Voiturette," a car with an interior upholstered in Hermès leather.
The products on display transcend the categories of fashion items and vehicles, each being a masterpiece that could be described as art.
This is a rare opportunity to see a wealth of content not usually accessible. We encourage you to visit.
