Hermès was doubling down on San Francisco, and like many of the guests at the party, it was already looking far into the future
Photo: Drew Altizer/Courtesy of Hermès Last Friday, the largest Hermès store in the country opened its doors in San Francisco. The night before, the brand threw a party that could only have existed in America’s tech capital, complete with modern dancers, a brass band, and Silicon Valley luminaries.
It was the reopening of the Grant Street location, a 9,000-square-foot, two-story boutique. Outside, a line was wrapped around the block. Inside, a perfumery and a massive display of scarves and bags enticed on the ground floor, while up the sculptural wooden staircase, party guests were greeted with housewares, fine jewelry, VIP and bespoke salons, and a one-of-a-kind Hermès canoe crafted out of the smoothest leather.
Following the store preview, 500 guests were shuttled to the Armory to take in performances and load up on charcuterie, tuna tartare, and even more Champagne. In keeping with the brand’s equestrian roots, dancer Judith Zagury performed a pas de deux with a beautiful white horse, followed by a gilded-spandex troupe’s modern-dance interpretation of the California Gold Rush.
