Hermès reopens its renovated Kaohsiung boutique, marking 30 years in southern Taiwan

Hermès has reopened its renovated and expanded Kaohsiung boutique, the maison's only site in southern Taiwan since 1996, now spread across two floors designed by Paris-based RDAI — a quiet but telling investment in Hermès's Asia-Pacific store network beyond Japan.

Hermès reopened its renovated and expanded boutique in Kaohsiung's Hanshin mall on 5 August 2026, the maison said in a statement, marking 30 years since the store first opened in the southern Taiwanese port city in 1996. The boutique is now spread across two floors, designed by the Paris-based architecture practice RDAI around the colours and textures of Kaohsiung's waterfront.
