We wanted to remember the old buildings instead of creating something that came from nowhere,” explains Denis Montel, artistic director of RDAI Architecture, the firm that designs stores for Hermès. “And, of course, here in Miami it’s so hot that you’re always looking for something that feels really cool and fresh. Hermes is the latest luxury brand to call the Miami Design District's 40th Street home. The shop officially opens Saturday, February 23rd and is approximately 5,000 sq ft and features women's ready-to-wear, fine jewelry, swim, handbags, menswear collection, swimwear, shoes and accessories collections.

In addition, Bal Harbour Shops has said it wants to expand the property, which has seen several luxury brands defect to the design district. The Berlin-based 032c has opened its first international retail and exhibition space in Seoul’s Seongsu neighborhood, a trendy area often likened to Brooklyn. Designed in collaboration with Korean fashion platform Musinsa and architects Gonzalez Haase AAS, the space reflects 032c’s minimalist neo-industrial style and aims to serve as a cultural bridge between Eastern and Western fashion sensibilities.
Hermès to Open a Third Freestanding Store in New Jersey This Week
The area of land that is now the Design District was once a pineapple farm in a neighborhood referred to as Buena Vista. Moore, built the historic Moore Building in the 1920s for his family furniture business. The Moore Furniture Building was one of the first stores in the U.S. dedicated strictly to furniture. Robert Chavez, president and chief executive officer of Hermès USA, said the move in Miami is as dramatic as Hermès’ 2000 decision to replace a 5,000-square-foot store on East 57th Street with a four-floor 15,000-square-foot flagship on Madison Avenue and 62nd Street. The Hermes Miami Design District boutique is just the beginning of what’s to come. The area is rapidly growing and is becoming a hot spot for fashion, art, and culture.

Despite challenges in the market, the Miami Design District continues to attract luxury and contemporary tenants. Scarves, jewelry and watches are on the second floor, and women’s wear, handbags and the equestrian collection on the third. The Saint Laurent boutique’s marble facade is a must-snap that screams luxury. A New York court dismissed a lawsuit by the Judd Foundation against Tina Kim Gallery of New York and Kukje Gallery of South Korea over fingerprints left on a Donald Judd sculpture. Despite the galleries paying $680,000 for the damage in 2021, the lawsuit sought an additional $170,000 and damages, but was deemed untimely by Judge Nancy M. Bannon due to being filed four years after the damage was discovered. The foundation plans to appeal the decision, emphasizing its commitment to safeguarding Judd’s artistic legacy.
With the addition of the Hermes boutique, the Miami Design District is sure to become an even bigger destination for luxury shoppers. “We’re starting to get some cool brands in the contemporary category with Alice & Olivia,” said Robins. Amid the transformation of the district, Dacra now has 50 retail businesses open and other property owners — including Thor Equities and TriStar Capital — have an additional 12 stores open, Robins said.

As part of Hermès’ new store concept, the Hermès men’s collection is at the front of the space on the first level. The Miami boutique also is the first store in the United States to have a “shop-in-shop” of Saint-Louis crystal, which has its own entrance on the first floor. Already, Louis Vuitton exited Bal Harbour at the end of May, when its lease expired, and announced its intention to open a Design District store in 2014. The move gives Hermès the opportunity to open a 10,000-square-foot two-level flagship in the Design District in fall 2013, more than double the size of its existing 4,500-square-foot unit at the Bal Harbour Shops. Hermès in January will operate a temporary store in the district until its permanent store is ready.
Tourists from Brazil and Russia have been conspicuous consumers of luxury and contemporary goods. Saint Laurent, Loro Piana, Tod’s, Isabel Marant, Joseph, Alice & Olivia, Tory Burch, Sevan Biçakçı, Zilly, Creed, Aesop and sneaker store Be Miami recently signed leases to open stores in the district, according to Craig Robins, the area’s primary landlord. Robins said there’s only one retail space left in the Design District’s current phase. “We’re completely rented,” he said, adding that he’s working on the next phase of the area’s development.
After Louis Vuitton and Fendi, Hermès heads to the destination for high-lifestyle to open its third flagship in the US. The French fashion house threw a glorious, tropical-themed gala to commemorate the opening of its grand Design District store.Located at 163 E. 39th St., the light and airy three-story shop features a white concrete and glass facade. A sculpture of a brightly colored horseman waving orange flags from both hands is perched atop the store’s rooftop garden.
The latter category, which occupies 1,000 square feet, links to the neighborhood’s home and design heritage. Saint-Louis’ adjacent shop-in-shop, whose additional 646 square feet can be accessed by a separate entrance, displays limited-edition pieces like Opercule boxes with colorful lids through a collaboration with Adrien Rovero. The store showcases 14 product categories ranging from leather goods0–including the coveted Birkin and Kelly handbags–to iconic silk scarves, ties and men’s cashmere suits.
In the Design District, commercial rents are now about $150 per square foot, blended, for three stories, Robins told TRD. Other brands with three-story boutiques include Louis Vuitton, Tom Ford and Valentino. Dior, which will open its flagship in March, will also have a three-story building.
Curated by Terence Riley, the structure is a mashup of contributions from artists and architects including WORKac, Clavel Arquitectos, Nicolas Buffe, J.Mayer H., and K/R. Make sure you snap the structure from all five angles for the full experience. Claudette Johnson, a Black British artist renowned for her pastel and watercolor portraits, and Jasleen Kaur, known for her installations exploring her Scottish Sikh heritage, are among the nominees for this year’s Turner Prize, announced at Tate Britain. The nominees, which also include Pio Abad and Delaine La Bas, have all held significant exhibitions within the past year and will be featured in a group show at Tate Britain from September 25 to February 16.
“We try to design buildings that have the company’s DNA but also maintain a dialogue with the context,” Montel says. Arguably the most photogenic neighborhood in Miami, every corner of the Miami Design District offers an Instagram-worthy photo opp. While you may be aware of some of the hottest spots like the Fly’s Eye Dome and the Netscape installation, we thought we’d highlight some of our more “under the radar” photo spots, as seen on some of the Instagram accounts of Miami’s top influencers. Hermès is trading the established Bal Harbour Shops for the burgeoning Miami Design District, an 18-square-block area with a hip undercurrent that’s in the throes of gentrification.
The venue features distinct retail and exhibition zones, highlighted by industrial design elements such as chrome rails and strip lighting, and launches with the video installation Catastrophe Colours by Gonzalez Haase AAS. The products are all formulated with natural ingredients and are designed to help you look and feel your best. Hermès on Thursday unveiled a permanent store in the Miami Design District — a three-story, 10,000-square-foot flagship — in the ongoing gentrification of the 18-square-block shopping district.
On the first floor, signature leather accents, namely a harness and saddle maker, evoke the brand’s roots. Items for the home, the brand’s furniture and accessories are displayed against a backdrop of warm walnut hues. Long before it was known as the Design District, the swath of streets sandwiched between Miami’s Little Haiti and Wynwood neighborhoods was dotted with low-lying white buildings. So when Hermès decided to open a flagship in the increasingly upscale area—joining a growing array of global fashion boutiques and high-end interiors showrooms—the French luxury brand aimed for a design that would be an elegant riff on those humble earlier structures. The Hermes boutique in the Miami Design District offers the latest collections of the brand’s fashion and accessories.
