Hermès confirmed the leases but declined further comment. (Birkenstock currently occupies that single-story space.) According to 元’s website, the real estate firm acquired both locations in 2015, as part of its broader North Sixth and North Seventh Streets portfolio, and later recapitalized in 2019. Around the same time, construction on the 8,500-square-foot permanent store - also in Williamsburg, a few doors down at 111 North Sixth Street - is likely to be complete. Sources said Hermès will remain in the temporary space for roughly two years. (Hermès currently has three stores in Manhattan.) The 5,400-square-foot, two-story Brooklyn space, which is owned by 元, will be located in the heart of Williamsburg’s shopping area, near the likes of Nike, Madewell and Urban Outfitters. Meanwhile, five artisans from different métiers will share a fifth-floor atelier for alterations and repairs.The long-term pop-up - at 91 North Sixth Street in Brooklyn - marks the first time Hermès has taken up residence in Brooklyn for an extended period of time. Reproductions of iconic silk scarves also grace the space, including “American Quilts” by Aline Honoré.Ī special version of that scarf has been designed exclusively for the new address, along with several Kelly bags, a Bolide bag, two watches, a jukebox and a bicycle.

More than 1,000 guests, including Nicky Hilton Rothschild, Martha Stewart, Tory Burch and “Saturday Night Live” star Chloe Fineman, enjoyed an original musical named “Love Around the Block,” commissioned by the company and performed by Broadway stars and a brass band. To celebrate the opening, the French brand took over three city blocks and threw a rollicking multimillion-dollar, Champagne and caviar fueled reception meets eclectic street festival. The magnificent garden-topped store occupies three buildings - two townhouses and a historic Bank of New York outpost, built in the federalist style - and offers unprecedented customer service, an array of handcrafted products, from an NYC-themed Kelly Mini bag to made-to-measure menswear, and plenty of Parisian savoir faire. Hermès has unveiled one of its largest flagships in the world at 706 Madison Ave., in New York’s tony shopping corridor.
