Hermes has reopened its store in Sogo Fuxing Mall, Taipei, following a lengthy renovation, which the company says “conveys the innovative spirit of the city”.

First opened in 2007, the three-storey store is now clad in ceramic tiles. The renovation was designed by the French architecture agency, RDAI.

“Visitors are welcomed into the silk universe, flanked by fashion jewellery on the right and perfume and beauty on the left, all enhanced by the house’s Grecques lighting,” Hermes said. 

“Screen walls accentuate the space, with locally crafted thread compositions blending with Hermès silk offcuts. Further on, an intimate area dedicated to jewellery and watches can be found.”

The store also includes a selection of artworks from the Emile Hermes collection and the Hermes ‘Collection of Contemporary Photographs’. “This new store invites loyal customers and new visitors to discover Hermès’ timeless creations and craftsmanship in a bold new setting,” the company added.
