N o l u x u r y h o u s e understands saturated c o l o r q u i t e l i k e Hermès. That's why the French fashion brand's latest product will be as coveted as a Birkin bag — at a much more accessible price point. After 183 years, Hermès introduces a new mètier: La Beauté Hermès. Yes, one lipstick, in 24 hues, with its own accessories (lip-care balm, Poppy lip shine, lip pencil and brush). And this took a French village: Bali Barret, artistic director of Women's Universe; Pierre Hardy, creative director of shoes, fine jewelry, and Haute XOXO, HERMÈS Bijouterie, and designer of beauty objects; and Jérôme Touron, creative director of beauty. The architectural, vividly lacquered, brushed and polished metal refillable case closes with a satisfying magnetic click, and is finished off with the old-world Hermès Ex-Libris seal engraved on the cap. The lipsticks come in two finishes: an ultra-pigmented matte finish inspired by the trademark Doblis leather and a satin finish reminiscent of Box leather. The 24 perfectly pigmented shades have evocative names, three of which are emblematic of the house: Rogue Casaque, Orange Boîte, and Rouge H. This initial offering from La Beauté Hermès hits beauty counters Wednesday, March 4. La Beauté Hermès lipstick $68, refills $42, at the Hermès boutique, hermes.com.
