Saris from Paris?
Hermès, however, says that selling a sari in India is not taking coals to Newcastle. If any fool were to buy this [Hermès] sari, if any Indian were to buy it. I cannot see a reason to own this product. And there is precedent, thanks to Hermès’ Marwari scarves (prints inspired by the rare horses of Jodhpur) and sari-dresses designed by Jean Paul Gaultier in spring 2008 when he was creative director of the brand. Rather, it wants to “connect with Indian tradition and elegance,” says Bertrand Michaud, president of Hermès India. “The idea of the saris was to honour Indian culture and offer an Hermès interpretation of this traditional garment,” he says. Indeed, the brand’s entry into India follows its successful Shang Xia brand in China, which blends home-grown products with Hermès sensibilities. “It is like Indians selling wine in France,” sniffs one Indian style expert.
