The facade of the retail outlet is influenced by the mountain fault strains and built with slender ceramic tiles in shades of ochre. 

The floor flooring features a selection of leather goods, men’s prepared-to-put on, and sneakers. Regular Grecques lights, produced for Hermes in 1925 and made use of in its retailers around the world, are utilised to mild the place.
