It looks like French luxury brand Hermes is trying to specifically target the younger crowd a little more. After the recent collaboration with colette, we present today a dope new fingerboard viral of the brand. Via TL. Enjoy!

French fashion house Hermes is not new to the world of motor powered vehicles. We have helicopters and cars in collaboration with the brand. Today we take a look at their one-off motorcycle in collaboration with Yamaha. This is the second time that the two companies have worked together.

“Hermes craftsmen were let loose to combine ‘mechanics and leather, to fulfil the dreams of motorcycles’. The idea was, according to Yamaha and Hermes, to “Reinforce the sculptural lines of this unique object and underline its emotional power.”

The result has the £20k machine’s non-mechanical parts dressed in Skipper buffalo leather, the main parts being the tank, seat, mudguards, headlight cover, exhaust silencers and grips.

Finishing touches include brushed aluminium mirrors, meter case and exhaust.”

Tomorrow, New Yorkers will be treated to the opening of the first ever dedicated Hermès Man store, located at 62nd St and Madison Avenue – directly across the street from the Hermès flagship. To celebrate the store’s opening, the luxury label produced a custom, limited edition custom baseball glove and ball set. The glove is done in a deep, almost-burgundy, red leather and features an embossed Hermès “H”. The ball also feature the signature “H” front and center.

A first hint at this exciting collaboration was giving during the Autumn/Winter 2008 fashion shows in Paris. Finally the Yohji Bag, designed by Yohji Yamamoto for Hermès, is coming out in 2010. The bag is made of Barenia leather, the signature material of the French leather manufacturer, and will be available soon in three sizes. Yamamoto certainly inhaled a bit of contemporary design into the otherwise very classic brand.

UK designer Kyle Bean has created a special series of newspaper covered instruments for French fashion house Hermès. Together with some oldschool trunks, the instruments make up the ealry Spring 2010 Hermès window decorations.

Created by Gabriele Pezzini, Hermès Design Director, this extremely ergonomic travelling companion has exceptional functional and aesthetic qualities. Its brushed anodised aluminium shell, the interior surface of which is reinforced with carbon and Kevlar, provide unparalleled resistance to wear and tear. The luggage is subtly highlighted with two natural cowhide handles – an unmistakable reference to the Hermès travel world. The bag’s technical allure elegantly contrasts with the sensuality of its interior, cased entirely in leather. Its two handles allow for it to be carried horizontally or vertically, whilst its multidirectional wheels make for incredible ease of use.

Hermès is certainly better known for their high quality standard than for innovation, which makes the Orion suitcase certainly stand out from their regular collection. It will be released as part of the Spring/Summer 2010 Collection.

Leica has today announced a very special limited edition of its classic 35mm rangefinder system camera: the Leica M7 Edition Hermès. As the successor to the Leica MP Edition Hermès launched in 2003, this is the second series of cameras created in co-operation with Hermès, the Paris-based company renowned throughout the world for its exclusive products.

The strictly limited Leica M7 Edition Hermès comes in silver chrome with a choice of two striking calfskin leather finishes – orange and étoupe – supplied by Hermès. Just 100 of each colour will be made available, and each individual camera will have a special sequential serial number between 001/200 and 200/200.

To complement the design of the camera, the special Leica M7 Edition Hermès set includes a silver anodised Leica Summilux-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. wide-angle lens, a matching classic round lens hood in silver anodised metal – manufactured specifically for these models – and a Leicavit M rapid winder in silver chrome. A real leather carrying strap, handcrafted by Atelier Hermès to match the colour of each camera, provides the finishing touch. Each set is delivered in a linen-covered, silk-lined box.

The Leica M7 Edition Hermès camera has a number of distinct features compared to the standard Leica M7 model. For example, the top plate is engraved with the Leica name in classic script: the red Leica logo has been omitted to preserve the colour harmony of the leather covering. All control elements of the Leica M7 Edition Hermès have been manufactured exclusively in metal, and the back of the camera is finished in silver chrome. Furthermore, the red colour of the engraved auto and 7 settings on the shutter speed dial has been replaced by the specific shade of the camera’s leather. The technical specifications of the special edition set are otherwise identical to the standard model.

The Leica M7 Edition Hermès will be available in the UK from December 2009 and is priced at an impressive 8500 Pounds.

UPDATE: We managed to get our hands onto some better images, as well as the second colorway of the camera. More views after the jump.

In recent years we see more and more high end brands entering the sneaker market and the market is also asking for high quality sneakers, that convince because of their materials and overall style, rather than the latest technology.

When it comes to leather products, hardly anybody can compete with Hèrmes. Therefore you can also be sure, that their new Hi-Top Sneaker comes in the best imaginable leathers. The usually classic brand, went a little more contemporary with this one, offering it in a silver colorway with a narrow strap going over the laces. Pic via Milk.
