Hermes: Heavenly Days
“You won’t be able to resist this elegant collection of Alice Charbin’s whimsical illustrations from her 18-year collaboration with luxury goods icon Hermès.” — France Today
Hermè Heavenly Days brings together 300 of artist Alice Charbin’s most delightful drawings in a beautiful package that’s perfect for every elegant coffee table. From Christmas in the North Pole to Paris in the springtime, these treats from the house of Hermès will make readers of all ages smile.
Charbin’s drawings represent the whimsy and style of Hermès and the taste and culture of France itself. For 18 years, she has been inviting people to escape into a whimsical world where the brand’s iconic orange box frequently shapeshifts and appears in the most unlikely of places. Hermè Heavenly Days brings together Charbin’s most delightful drawings from her collaboration with Rachael Canepari and the legendary brand in a beautifully packaged gift book that will make every bookshelf and coffee table more elegant.
Since 1837, Hermès has remained faithful to its artisanal model and its humanist values. The freedom to create, the constant quest for beautiful materials, and the transmission of exceptional know-how—which enable the creation of useful and elegant objects which stand the test of time—forge the uniqueness of Hermès.
Family-run, independent, and socially responsible, the company is committed to maintaining the majority of its production in France, through its 52 production sites, while developing its international distribution network of 300 stores in 45 countries. The Hermès orange box is an icon of fashion, luxury, and commerce.

What a luxurious book! But that is no surprise considering this is a book from the iconic brand, Hermès. I should expect nothing less from the fashion house.
I’ve had my eye on this book for a while and I am so glad I purchased it. The book is beautifully made. It has a gorgeous linen cover in the brand’s iconic orange. The pages inside are so thick. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a book with pages this thick. It also a built-in ribbon bookmark, making it super easy to mark your place.
As for the content, I loved the little cartoons. They were all so witty and the illustrations were adorable. Reading them made me smile over and over again. I enjoyed seeing how the Hermès box was incorporated in each drawing. I also liked how the cartoons were organized by season/event/holiday which made it flow very easily.
Overall, this is a stunning coffee table book! I highly recommend it if you want to add a touch of Hermès to your bookshelves (or coffee table). It would also make a great gift.
