A team of artisans from Hermès is heading to London to conduct a workshop to show off their skills and display the label’s handcrafted specialities, including the creation of the French luxury label's iconic Birkin bag.
The Birkins, which were named after British singer Jane Birkin, retails between $9,000 and $150,000 depending on the materials used.
Running from May 21 to 27, this year’s ‘Festival des Métiers’ will show off the skills used to create the luxury label’s silk scarves, watches, fine jewelry and bags.
Visitors to the free exhibition will be able to chat with the craftspeople and interact with the processes in order to better understand the unique blend of savoir faire and creative nous that goes into the goods.
