In 1972, Hermès released a new collection: women’s shoes. Amongst them was a future classic: the Jumping boot. The inspiration comes from the brand’s equestrian origins, in a time when Thierry Hermès oversaw the manufacturing of saddles and harnesses. A finishing touch of elegance makes all the difference: a thin Kelly fastener, a subtle nod to another Hermès classic.
Now until July 19, 2012, Hermès is holding a temporary boutique event dedicated exclusively to their women’s shoes: the perfect place to discover the new colored style of Jumping boots! Revisited in three mod pop 60’s-esque colors: blue, pink, and orange, they’re sure to catch your eye. And Hermès deserves every bit of the attention; they’ve succeeded in the task of giving the harsh riding boot a classy feel, creating a new trend in the meantime. Rendez-vous at 8 rue de Sèvres in Paris to get a closer look!
