Judy Joo Instagram – One of the most iconic brands in France is @hermes… it is a 187 year old powerhouse that epitomizes luxury. At helm of External Relations is the talented Michael Coste @michaelcostefr . Michael joined Hermes in 2006 at the Foubourg Saint Honore (the oldest Hermes store in the world) and is known as the “VIP Whisperer”. He knows all of clients tastes, whims, desires… even before they do! He has built Hermes’ VIP division to be synonymous with elegance, grace, discretion, personalization, and style. A private appointment with Michael is akin to sitting with French royalty… but much more fun! You’re escorted to the mysterious second floor, upon where your bespoke encounter commences. If you’re lucky enough, an invitation to the secret roof garden follows… where you’ll ascend via a gated elevator nicknamed “Nixon” after a certain President who legendarily got stuck in it for over 20 minutes. . Thank you Michael for such a special experience… a journey of tradition, artistry, luxury, and stories… I hope to see your warm smile again soon.
