I got to see this at my local boutique. It’s absolutely gorgeous, and a reasonable price point all things considered. The magnetic charging mechanism is super neat, and they plugged it in for maybe 5 minutes, and held a charge for a good 20 minutes and that was with me constantly tapping the top to change the light intensity (oof- apparently I’m 5). The light itself is LED - and I’m not really sure how it would get changed - there’s quite a lengthy instruction book that comes with it. It wasn’t overly heavy for being a crystal piece, but also wasn’t light either. I think it would be beautiful outside on a deck, but also easy to use inside. I’m waiting for my boutique to get this wood color in as it’ll match my small folia photofore (which I also love). I think a lot of these get reserved, so would ask your SA ASAP.

If you haven't seen it in person, it's quite large, a bit too large IMHO to be a "carry around as a portable lamp" piece. It's REALLY nice and after looking at it we decided we liked it enough to as our SA about the table version instead, but we're planning that purchase for a little later this year.

I also have a Saint Louis vase and I love it, got it at this year's flower event. It's a VERY high quality and nice piece as well as numbered (61 of 88).
I've liked the Saint Louis products enough that I've asked our SA to also find me the Folia table mirror in Chartreuse:

Folia dark ash sofa side table
It was in the forest surrounding the Saint-Louis manufacture that Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance found his inspiration, and decided to combine the radiance of crystal with the strength of ash wood.

thanks for the detailed response. Do you think it will work as a bedside lamp or more decorative. Can you show me a picture of the photofore?

wow that vase is gorgeous!!!! That table lamp is beautiful too. Please post picture when you get it!
I really wish they would have the products in the boutique for me to see. It’s hard to justify buying something so expensive sight unseen
The lamp is only maybe a foot tall in total so it’s not going to provide a lot of vertical light, but I do think that the multiple dimming settings would be nice for something bedside. From a design perspective - more of a personal choice.
this is the photofore. It comes in two sizes and two wood colors.
Folia photophores

I have the lamp in the darker wood. I havent used it very much but for me it's decorative. More mood lighting.
I also have the lamp in the darker wood to match my pléiade sets. Currently, I use it in my library for decor. Since it lights downwards, the light is soft, but creates a beautiful pattern on the desk. I also have the folia photophore, which I like once again for the design, but is restrictive due to how it is compatible only with votives unlike my photophores from Diptyque. I have few of the folia pendants in my Parisian flat, which I used in the kitchen as well as bedside lamps hanging from the ceiling. The pattern when lit is much less visible than the portable lamp, but they light more. As for St Louis as a whole, I love their crystal. Every piece no matter how big or small is exceptional and mesmerizing.
Hi all, super rookie on buying Hermes in general. I don't remember seeing any of the SL product in the local boutique, should I just ask my SA to order it for me? I checked out the SL website and wanting to buy some old fashion whiskey glasses.. (Also I assume they counts as portfolio builder..) TIA
I would point your SA to where you see it on the SL website, they should be able to place an "order." My store has books that they bring out with all of the various SL offerings - I pick, they order/source. I will say, I have been waiting on SL wine glasses for over 6 months now so likely delayed due to C19.
The SF boutique has some vases and drinkware on display, but not much. It's an obscure brand in the US. I can't really speak to the portfolio-building ability, but it's really nice crystal and worth looking into if you like crystal in general.
This is good advice. The SL website doesn't have product numbers, but the store should have a pretty exhaustive paper catalog to browse through that has them and the order can be made. I have also heard similar stories about getting the drinkware taking a while since Covid...like a lot of their housewares.
Thank you very much for the advise! I'll look into it next time I visit.
+1. We waited doe a long time for our oxymore whisky glasses but love them. We also got a decanter, but it came in months afterwards? Not sure now. No idea when other glasses we’ve ordered will come in lol.
Does anyone know the price for folia portable lamb in 2021 prior to recent price increase? TIA
In November 2021 for the clear crystal and light ash wood it was USD 2,400 pre-tax.
