Hermes recently opened its new flagship store in Milan, moving away from Sant’Andrea to Via Montenapoleone. The previous store eventually turned too small for all the vast and luxurious items from the Hermès collections. This change also celebrates a long presence of the brand in Milan – they have been spreading glamour in this Italian city since 1987.
The project was commissioned to Parisian architects RDAI, under the artistic direction of Denis Montel, responsible for all the Hermès stores worldwide.
