Upcycled Couture Scraps (UPDATE)

The Hermes Petit h Project Redesigns Excess Materials

Known for its luxurious leather fashions and exquisite home decor, the ongoing Hermes Petit h Project continues the design tradition using excess quality materials left over from the Hermes workshop. Creating expressive artwork and displays from salvaged scraps is a creative way to promote the artistic and design side of Hermes.

It's comforting to know that the luxurious materials that don't make it into products, ranging from crocodile skin leather to cut crystal glass, don't go to waste. Brightly colored leather-seated chairs stacked precariously on top of each other, a delicate crystal chandelier and a set of deep blue vase-shaped bookends are just a few of the inspired creations that will be on display at the Hong Kong Hermes boutique.

The imaginative designs of the Hermes Petit h Project continue to make magic out of miscellaneous materials.
