A collector’s dream, detailed look, and unmatched rarity in one stunning piece
The Faubourg has dethroned the Himalaya as Hermès’ most coveted creation. Released in multiple variations over the years, its 2024 iteration—Rainy Days—is among the rarest and most visually poetic of them all.
The Faubourg Evolution
Debuting in 2019 with the “Day” and “Night” editions, followed by “Midnight” and “Snow” in 2021, and now “Rainy Days,” this design pays homage to Hermès’ iconic Parisian boutique at 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Each bag mimics the flagship storefront with detailed architectural references, crafted in multiple leathers and seasonal tones.
