The first North American Hermes Man store is set to open in New York this week. Located directly across the street from the Hermes flagship store in Manhattan, the Hermes Man store will feature custom made luxury label products including a custom, limited edition baseball glove and ball.
The Hermes Man store will also offer a variety of menswear and accessories (all custom made) but it is the baseball set that is turning heads and garnering interest. The glove features an embossed Hermes H, as does the ball.
