The Hermes 24-Color Piano is a unique promotion from the brand that's sure to appeal to a more high-end customer base, or fans of collectables. Hermes is giving its consumers the opportunity to purchase 24 of its highly sought-after lipstick colors at once.
The lipsticks arrive in a long box with piano motifs, hence the name, serving as a unique collectable for those willing to pay the $1,781 USD price point. According to Hermès Beauty’s creative director Jérôme Touron "Colors for me are like musical notes. Combining them creates sonority and harmony, composing a range of colors like musical scales." As a result, the 24 colors of lipstick represent the 24 keys of the piano.
