That same year, Hermès also worked on the Citroen 2CV on the occasion of its 60th anniversary. The luxury company did the same with the Rolls-Royce used to greet guests of the Four Seasons George V Hotel in Paris, and even designed a line to celebrate the tenth birthday of the Smart Fortwo automobile. Their most recent endeavor is the interior design of the Hyundai Equus sedan by Hermès, with leather upholstery and soft-leather-covered steering wheels. And surely, not even the smallest detail was overlooked. See more fashion articles here.

The renowned French firm also sails the seas and almost touches the clouds. It made its first foray into the shipping industry in 2009 together with the manufacturer Wally Yachts. The result was a mega yacht with helipad, 190 feet long and 124 feet wide, called Why Wally by Hermès (it has a little brother, 125 feet long and 78 feet wide). The yacht is priced between 116 and 129 million dollars, although the final cost depends on the particular requests of each client. When it comes to flying, the company is responsible for the EC135 Hermès Airbus, a corporate plane with seating for five passengers. However, this idea is not exclusive to Hermès, as years before the Italian brand Versace had designed the interior of an Airbus 319 for the Swiss company TAG Aircraft Interiors.

And since Hermès also has a penchant for sports, it has lent its name to several bike models. In collaboration with the company Time Sport International, they created the elegant Le Flâneur bike, priced around $10,487. Of course, the firm will continue to surprise us with more fun products. We can hardly wait to review the bold selections from the firm, which surely will have the stamp of elegance, quality and originality that distinguishes the French label.  ■
