Hermès is inviting its clientele to participate in HermèsFit in Paris as a way to show off its iconic accessories and at the same time, support healthy movement. This global initiative is kicking off with an event in the École des Beaux-Arts and it is set to offer something for everyone with carré yoga, stretch’ceinture and chapeau balance.
Upon entry, guests will be encouraged to choose a Hermès accessory like a silk scarf, bracelet or a pair of shoes, to support the sessions they will be participating in. The athletic event will also include a weights rack, barbells, a HermèsFit boxing ring, climbing wall and punching bags, plus a photo booth and a juice bar.
HermèsFit will be making other stops in locations like Tokyo, New York, Taiwan and Shanghai to share "the joy of exercise."
