There’s a certain allure — that je ne sais quoi — to an Hermès object. Whether it’s the uncompromising craftsmanship, luxe materials (like signature leathers and silks) or equestrian heritage, something about the Maison’s touch elevates its inanimate items into true companions.
Coupled with a playful whimsicality, Hermès’ objects are naturally suited to festive cheer. There are the classic staples: a sporty high-top sneaker in supple calfskin, a boxy carry-all that boasts understated elegance and functionality, and, of course, graphic silk ties and scarves. Time is also an object for Hermès; the iconic Cape Cod watch is expressed in creative abundance, and its distinct “square in rectangle” form is best showcased on a leather wristband that merges a traditional strap with a cuff. Then there are the objects you have in your living environment; Hermès’ home offerings range from a collection of printed papers designed to bend to your every whim (they can be placemats, book covers or origami creations), to a skateboard brought to life by a cavalcade of criss-crossing, slaloming ubridles.
