The [French fashion house](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/szanes-holiday-line) decided to get in touch with its Indian market by creating full-length draped dresses commonly worn in their culture, but made from the pricey and prestigious [Hermes scarf concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trait-dherms). Twenty-seven different designs will be available and sold exclusively in their Mumbai store that opened just earlier this year, as the distribution into the new market has been a fairly recent venture. The fabrics are the same top quality as their best-selling neck accessory and are labelled with the quintessential scarf specialist's logo, making the Hermes Limited Edition Sari a gorgeously glamorous gown to get wrapped up in no matter what part of the world you call home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 52% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cultural Collaboration in High Fashion:** Designers are creating pieces that are inspired by traditional clothing that showcases cultural diversity. - **Exclusive Collections as a Marketing Strategy:** Companies are releasing limited edition products only in certain locations to entice local markets. - **Upscaling Traditional Clothing:** Luxury fashion brands are using traditional clothing as inspiration to create designer items that are marketed to an international audience. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion and Apparel:** Fashion houses, designers, and clothing manufacturers are designing and producing clothes inspired by traditional clothing that aims to showcase cultural diversity and attract different local markets. - **Luxury Goods:** Luxury goods companies are collaborating with artisans to create high-end products inspired by traditional clothing that are marketed to a global audience. - **Retail and Distribution:** Retail companies are aiming to expand their markets by creating exclusive collections that cater to specific local markets. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Glam Indian Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anamika-khanna-x-hm.md) - [Opulent Material-Focused Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hermes-1.md) - [Luxurious Equestrian Activewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herms-yoga.md) - [Performance-Driven Designer Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wings-of-hermes.md) - [French Fashion House Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herms-tressages-questres-tableware-collection.md) - [Cross-Cultural Footwear Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rahul-mishra.md) - [Dream-Inspired Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herms-hermessence.md) - [Scented Saree Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mysore-saree-udyog.md) - [Luxe Colorful Beauty Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trait-dherms.md)
