Hermès Nice

At 8 avenue de Verdun, at the entrance to the Carré d'Or facing the greenery of Jardin Albert 1er, the Hermès Nice boutique is the luxury quarter's most elegant and most prestigious address. The Hermès House — founded in 1837 as a saddler-harness maker, becoming over time the absolute symbol of French luxury craftsmanship — imposes in its Nice boutique the same exigence that made its worldwide reputation: every piece is a craftsman's masterpiece, hand-made by a single artisan, in exclusively French workshops.

The boutique silhouette is identifiable among all — and the interior confirms the exterior's promise. Leather goods are naturally the heart of the offer: Birkin and Kelly bags — the world's most desired luxury pieces — are available by stock and model.

The Complete Hermès Universe

Hermès silk squares (200+ motifs, hand-printed, 90cm × 90cm) are another house speciality — collectibles, perfect gifts, wearable artworks. Hermès fragrances — private collection and main range — offer olfaction of rare sophistication. Timepieces (Arceau, H08, Cape Cod), jewellery, silks, ready-to-wear and table arts complete a remarkably coherent universe.
