Introducing our London Maison

Be part of something iconic, Hermès GB is opening a brand-new Maison store at 166 New Bond Street, London, a true statement of Hermès.

In the words of Pierre-Alexis Dumas, Artistic Director - Creation & image, when describing what makes a Maison

“A store we call a Maison Hermès is a store that is on such a scale, in its architecture and surface area, that it perfectly embodies the spirit of the Hermès home, as it originally was. So, a Maison Hermès is an embassy, it’s a whole World, within which you can discover the culture of Hermès, beyond its products. It is much more than a store.”

We are looking for a team of individuals who will all play a part collectively in crafting a culture, which emulates all that is unique to Hermes, to London and to the Maison. You will contribute to the Maison by bringing ambition, kindness, tenacity and a strong team spirit.
