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.
