Hermès Added its Spin to the White Sneaker
Even as minimalism ebbs and flows in and out of the trend cycle, the leather white sneaker stands strong as a timeless footwear option. Always the perfectionist, Hermès has released an updated take on the classic shoe for Spring/Summer 2020 with its Avantage sneaker. Crafted in premium calfskin leather and lined with a goatskin insole, the ultra-fresh style is stylized with a striped and angular H on the exterior — a subtle way to label-drop that avoids the flashiness of logomania. The spine of the shoe is accented with a contrasting back panel, available in either black, burnt orange, or white. Even though white sneakers are a timeless and reliable option, keeping them clean is another story. So if you’re shoes have gone from white to off-white, it might be time for a crisp new pair.
The Hermès Avantage Sneaker is available now in stores and online now.

Hermès’ Newest Venetian Perfume Addition
Hermès‘ newly appointed nose Christine Nagel (previously at Jo Malone) has mastered her own addition to the brand’s iconic Les Jardins fragrance collection started by the renowned Jean-Claude Ellena. The new scent, Un Jardin sur la Lagune, captures an oasis garden on the Venetian lagoon with woody notes and also a floral bouquet of lilies and magnolias.
Claude’s original Jardins scent was called Un Jardin Sur Le Nil for which he took a strenuous trip to North Africa where he was enchanted by the smell of green, unripe mango. Since then the collection grew with three more additions with Nagel’s fifth one evoking Frederic Eden’s garden in Venice. The story goes that supposedly Eden was tired of waters and canals and yearned for the ultimate garden in the city on the water which would properly bloom with fragrant plants and flowers.
The secret garden was “Protected by ochre walls, it offered happiness and reverie amongst its cool shadows, extending its generosity, its all-enveloping sweetness to its creator, and doubtless also to those taking a stroll nearby, who were unaware of its existence, but nevertheless enjoyed its delightful scents.” Nagel took this nostalgia of the ancient blossoms and bottled it into a dreamy flacon with floral and woody notes.
Un Jardin sur la Lagune, $139. HERMÈS. Available at Hermes.com.
Hermès Lands in the Meatpacking District
Hailing from Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Madison Ave, Hermès is taking steps to approach its downtown patrons by opening a store on Gansevoort Street in New York’s Meatpacking District. Embracing the history of the neighborhood, the new two-story boutique is unlike any other Hermès store, boasting a warm and industrial interior that showcases restored ironwork from the building’s original architecture alongside a true-to-brand wall of carré silk accessories.
“Hermès is excited to be back in the Big Apple just like in the old days when craftsmen and artists crossed paths with party animals: coffee for some, nightcaps for others,” says Axel Dumas, CEO at Hermès, in a statement. The Meatpacking store will indeed reach out a different New York crowd — the younger and often more vagabond type that appreciates good style and quality. For the particular opening, the French designer revisited four objects: a backpack, a hip pack, a bicycle, and a skateboard bag, in a special edition cosmos leather as a nod at the new client and neighborhood. While one can still surely find a proper Birkin bag at this location, a new approach is always welcome.
Hermès Meatpacking is open now at 46 Gansevoort Street.

Sunspel x Lemaire Offer Elevated Spring Essentials
UK-based heritage label Sunspel and Parisian-street-cool designer Lemaire have released a limited-edition unisex capsule collection inspired by each of their European legacies. With an emphasis on premium fabrics — Sunspel has been manufacturing fine materials since 1860 and brand founder Christophe Lemaire previously worked at Hermès, so both are seasoned experts — the curated range of pieces is pure elevated spring casual. Oversized, lounge-inspired fits are constructed in a mesh material, while the all-black colorway allows the pieces to be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. The resulting collection is sophisticated contemporary staples that are totally lax, and the perfect option to carry you from season to season.
Sunspel x Lemaire is available online now. Check out some looks below.
