Hermes: Festival des Métiers in Singapore

Yesterday was the beginning of the Festival des Métiers of Hermes at the Paragon Atrium along Orchard Road.

This is your chance to personally meet some of the craftsmen and women from one of the world’s best luxury brands. The Festival des Metiers makes its first stop in Asia here in Singapore.

I am only too happy to be here to witness the laborious process of making some of the best products of Hermes.

Only the most premium of leathers are used
There are several “workstations” for each craftsman. A few in maroquinerie, one in joaillerie, one in horologie,  in silk scarves, ties, and even in fine china. I will be posting more detailed photos, but here is a preview 🙂

In Maroq

Recognize the hardware ? 🙂

Saddles. All made by hand. Other companies already use machines. Ahh the art is not lost at Hermes.

More photos very soon 🙂 All I can say is, this is truly impressive and if you happen to be in Singapore, you cannot miss it!
