Hermès took its world class luxury to a new neighbourhood last night.
The French fashion company opened a flagship on Broad Street near Wall Street yesterday, offering everything from its famed saddles on which it was founded by Thierry Hermès in 1837 to brightly patterned bikinis designed by the house’s creative director for women’s ready-to-wear, Jean Paul Gaultier.
Uber sexy A-listers Rachel Weisz, Chloe Sevigny, Kyra Sedgwick and hubby Kevin Bacon were on hand to add a touch a glamour (as if it were necessary!) to the highly fashionable event.
In its first year, the 4000-square-foot flagship is expected to generate sales of $20 million.
That’s a lot of overpriced handbags.
