How much is that
Hermes scarf in the window? When money grows on trees, I'll splurge. Until then, I'll live vicariously through the whimsical website devoted entirely to Hermes silk. Created by
AKQA,
lamaisondescarres.com is an e-commerce site packed with more than 600 versions of Hermes silk that includes shawls, twills,
scarves and stoles. The inspiration of the illustrated site was to create the ideal brick-and-mortar store, with silk in every window, constantly changing rooms and a treasure chamber. While this
would be a blast to visit in-person, an online version was easier to replicate. The quirky house also contains a saloon and color-mixing kitchen. The site opened in 27 countries across Europe, Asia
and America.
