15/03/2013
Luxury leathergoods brand Hermès will hold a Festival des Métiers exhibition in London from May 22-28 to showcase the skills of its craftswomen and men.

Craftspeople will travel to London and display the skills involved in making 10 different types of Hermès products, including handbags and saddles (which is what Hermès was devoted to when it was first formed). They will work just as they would in Hermès workshops in France.

“This engaging public exhibition provides a fascinating insight into the traditions and values of Hermès in the crafting of fine objects; a presentation that encourages interaction by giving visitors the opportunity to meet and exchange with the Hermès’ artisans and experience first-hand their unique savoir-faire,” the company said on announcing the event.

Festival des Métiers arrives in London from China where it has been exhibited in Beijing and Shenyang, after London it will travel to Dusseldorf. The exhibition is presented in a contemporary setting designed by acclaimed designer Paola Navone.

Admission to Festival des Métiers is free and open to the public. The London venue wil be the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea.
