They’ve done items other than scarves before. Unique limited bag charms, calvis with special heat stamps, Hawaii even had a special pineapple handbag with only five units made and a LE surfboard print garden party bag. Perhaps since it’s Austin, they felt scarves were too formal and are going for a different item instead.

Good point...I wonder if there will be less of a focus on scarves completely?

Austin is bigger than people think and a lot of people in tech are moving to Austin from California. There is most definitely a market for Hermes in Austin. Why they decided on Congress is another story. That street is full of funky shops and is really laid back. I can’t imagine H over there but I’m sure it will end up fabulous

I was in Austin last week during SXSW and walked by the new store. I was able to peek inside but it was too dark to take a photo. Not saying 4/30 is impossible, but they have a long way to go.

Thank you to @Marmota who directed me to this thread. I live in Austin, and didn't even know til a few months ago that we were getting a boutique. :lol:

I have the date bookmarked and hope to be able to go. Of course, if it is invite only, I (a lowly scarf buyer with mostly online shopping on my file) am unlikely to be invited, so I'll just wait and see, I guess.

Thanks for all the intriguing info.

I can see why Congress was chosen. It is definitely a different Congress Ave than when Leslie was around. :lol: I rarely venture down to that area anymore, unless I can assure myself I have a good chance of finding parking. :smile:

You are most welcome for the direct - and thanks for the blast from the past. I'm picturing a special store-opening scarf featuring Leslie, and it's making me grin.

walked by the location this weekend and they’re working on the exterior. Good sign maybe?

a few weeks earlier, interior looked partially setup, with displays for products in place.

any concrete Confirmation regarding opening date is appreciated! Sounds like we may all need to camp out the 29th and/or 30th:eek:
