A splendid shopping haven, Hermès’s new Florence store offers the ultimate in luxury retail therapy. Located in a classic Renaissance building on Via degli Strozzi, the new store boasts interiors by architect Denis Montel of RDAI, bespoke furniture pieces and an expansive collection of artwork alongside the fashion house’s luxurious offerings.

Replacing the brand’s previous flagship store, the new interior features emblematic design details, including the house’s ex-libris motif in metal as you step inside; Hermès’ signature Faubourg pattern on the floor; and Grecques lighting originally from the Paris flagship at 24 Faubourg Saint Honoré. Glazed terracotta tiles line the beauty area; copper lacquer covers the ceiling; and stucco, marble and ribbed paper wallcoverings are rendered in subtle colours. The windows, made entirely of straw by Milan-based designer Andrea Mancuso, depict the Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Vecchio and other Florentine monuments. While an elliptical staircase leading to the first floor and finished in Hermès leather, gives new meaning to the phrase “stairway to heaven”.
In addition, around 70 artworks adorn the walls above the displays – some from the Émile Hermès collection and Hermès Collection of Contemporary Photographs.
Seamlessly blending heritage and modernity, the boutique offers a grand shopping infused with tradition and elegance in the heart of Florence.
