Hermès has opened a pop-up store in Melbourne’s Le Louvre that will showcase a unique silk scarf designed in honour of Le Louvre’s founder, Lillian Wightman, a true lover of the famous French brand.
The Melbourne style set turned out for the glamorous opening of the pop-up store where Lillian’s daughter and current owner of Le Louvre, Georgina Weir, shared her first introduction to the famous Parisienne house at the age of 10, when she received an animal-print Hermès towel from her mother.
The Hermès and Le Louvre limited edition scarf is now available for purchase at the pop-up store – an homage to her mother that Georgina says is like a dream come true.
Considering Hermès has only done three collaborations with fashion stores in its history – the first with Liberty London, the second with Colette in Paris – Le Louvre Melbourne stands in very distinguished company.
