Hermès is set to open the doors to a new London exhibition in May this year, here is a look at the exhibit!!!
Examples of its famous Kelly and Birkin bags will be included, as will items from the label's rich history - from saddles to silk scarves. The crucially-important artisans - who train for years to be able to replicate the attention to detail the brand has maintained since its 18th Century beginnings - will also be present at the exhibition, giving visitors and up-close, real-time insight into the manufacture of the brand's bags.
