The iconic Hermes Birkin bag
Hermès are to open an exhibition in London to celebrate 175 years of the fashion brand.
The exhibition is to be called Leather Forever.
It will showcase items from Hermès' past, such as those commissioned by the Duke of Windsor for the Duchess, as well as more recent creations.
In celebration of the exhibition, Hermès has created four unique bags representing England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales that will be auctioned with all proceeds being donated to a charity.
Hermès, founded by Thierry Hermès in Paris in 1837, will also present craftspeople from its Paris workshops within the exhibition, who will demonstrate the art of leather working by creating designs on site.
Leather Forever will take place at 6 Burlington Gardens, London W1, from 8-27 May.
