Hermes Petit H

Monday, 9 Dec 2019

The petit h collection from Hermes made a stopover in Singapore at the end of last month and I finally found the perfect time to visit the store at Liat Towers. Marking the final blog post for this term, this little adventure to Hermes was the best way to conclude the Personal Development Planning module. 

On planet Hermes

The whimsical petit h collection was more art exhibit than interactive. Situated on the third and fourth floors of Hermes, the first space was surrealist in nature.  The scenography was created by local industrial designer Olivia Lee, handpicked by petit h’s creative director Godefroy de Virieu to bring out the natural charms of Singapore that parallel the petit h universe. 

I love overpriced knick-knacks from Hermes

Apart from pieces that are permanently sold at Hermes’s Rue de Sevres store in Paris, the limited edition collection also included pieces specially chosen and made for this Singapore, including leather charms of the iconic red plastic chairs. 

The greenhouse lab

Ascending to the fourth floor revealed a futuristic workshop which hosted more practical items from the brand, including tote bags and silk scarves.

It was a fun exhibit worth visiting and I felt happy walking out of Hermes, evidently influenced by the adorable creations at petit h. I wasn’t even whining that I was at Orchard Road again. Although there was minimal context provided at the exhibit, petit h was certainly something that Hermes aficionados and fashion enthusiasts would solely know about. 

Woi Hermes, ini kambing atau apa sial

petit h gave me the opportunity to feel the leather and silk products sold and I was awed by the quality of Hermes materials. I also appreciate the concept of sustainability behind the collection which was birthed ten years ago which Hermes family member Pascale Mussard started as a creative method to give new life to perfectly usable materials that were discarded from leftovers. It was a plain idea but the ingenuity of artisans at the Hermes workshop transformed these scraps into objects of art. 

While fashion is taking an approach to sustainability, we as end users ultimately bear the larger responsibility in being environmentally conscious with our purchasing behaviour and lifestyle attitude. Bearing that in mind, I take a bow as this year draws to a close. Till 2020, folks.

“I could go out like that tonight” - Pascale Mussard, creative director of Hermes “petit h,” draping a large scrap of leather around her shoulders.

I thought I’d share this really charming little video series from Hermès, on their petit h* collection. Mussard, the great-great-great-grandaughter of founder Thierry Hermès, is a delightful character, and i reckon even those of you with cold hearts for orange-boxed extravagance will crack a smile at this one.

Basically, petit h asks “what can we make with the stuff that’s left over from making other things at Hermès;” beautiful one-of-a-kind objects, improvised out of the nicest junk. As a zero-budget production designer, the idea appeals, but of course the folks at petit h are master fabricators with incredibly luxurious materials at hand, and I hot-glue things from the Salvation Army.

But the simple joy of grabbing something cool, but useless, and saying “I could make something out of this” – that’s a passion of mine.

*I presume “small h” means “lowercase h,” like the main line is Hermès with a capital H. Regardless, they always seem to keep the name all lowercase, like ‘til tuesday or ee cummings.
