Hermès at Work: Free exhibit coming to Jack Poole Plaza
FEATURED ON THE LISTED GUIDE
French luxury goods designer Hermès is giving Vancouverites a close and intimate look at what it takes to produce their goods with a free exhibit, “Hermès at Work.”
Known as the creators of classic French scarves and the iconic Birkin bag, the exhibit is meant to bring their craftspeople from the intimacy of their ateliers in France to meet the public and demonstrate their craft.
The travelling exhibit has stopped in cities around the world, and Vancouver will be its 35th destination.
