Hermès have opened a brand new space on the First Floor of the luxury department store Harrods in Central London dedicated exclusively to Women’s Universe. With a sales area spanning 235m² the new store celebrates the depth and richness of this collection of Métiers, that tells the story of women in motion, whilst revealing the female sensuality. The Harrods Femme store is the house’s third addition to the luxury department store, where Hermès has been present since 1991.

Inspired by the rounded and organic forms of the listed windows that decorate the façade, the space feels like a home, an expanded dressing room with a warm and feminine spirit. An ideal backdrop to peruse all the Métiers of the Women’s universe, including Ready-to-Wear, Shoes, Accessories and Jewellery collections as well as Beauty.

Each Métier permeates the open plan space without fixed boundaries, creating a fluid motion that encourages discovery across the collections.

Nicholas Lee Architects Ltd. provided an executive architect role to the brand, coordinating the landlords base build works with the design provided by Parisian based architects RDAI & other various consultants towards the successful completion of the project.
