Hermes Man | Menswear Store at 690 Madison Avenue





In a recent post we shared that the retail industry is zeroing in on the menswear market as a place to boost sales -- and rightly so.  Men are buying clothes at nearly the same rate as women these days and why wouldn't they when there is so much more on offer on retail floors across the globe.


Originally a saddlery and maker of leather goods, The Hermes Group is opening it's first and only all menswear boutique on Madison Avenue.  No Hermes scarves here, gentlemen.  Instead expect to find Hermes silk ties with "Hermes Homme" appearing on the reverse side the signature of the new line.





Called Hermes Man, the New York City boutique will house handmade Hermes baseball gloves for USD 8500.  This is French decadence meets classic Americana, all hand stitched in supple calf skin.
