Hermès Exhibition Comes To London

See  how Hermes  Birkin bags and famed silk scarves are created at a new exhibition dedicated to the fashion house's craftsmanship. The showcase - that opens at London's Saatchi Gallery from May 21 to 27 - will see a selection of products constructed live, as artisans demonstrate how they make the luxury products in their workshops in France.

The week-long Festival de Métiers exhibition is designed to "provide a fascinating insight into the traditions and values of Hermès in the crafting of fine objects," allowing the public to interact with the brand's craftspeople and see them at work. Visitors will be able to see the creation of watches, leather goods and fine-jewellery.

The exhibition was previously held in Beijing and Shenyang in China and, following its tenure in London, will move on to Dusseldorf. Admission to the Festival de Métiers at the Saatchi Gallery will be free of charge.
