In 19th, May 2010, Hermes announced normally to the public that Hermes will restore and build an excellent historical culture traditional building in Shanghai Luwan District. This building will be used as the first Hermes High-rise in China. The Hermes store for now is at 1266 West Nanjing Road, Henglong Plaza, 1/F (near Xikang Road, Metro Line 2 West Nanjing Road Station) Plaza 66

I found this to one of the best blogs for Hermes. They describe every product and tells the story of the product.

wow, great a super store in Shanghai. Will the wait for the Birkin bags still be 6 months or shorter. In the U.S if you order more the wait is less. I walked by the Shanghai super Hermes store and it’s was not open. They have on display the history of Hermes.
News: Hermes Birkin Bags No Longer Have A Waiting List
UPDATE: Sources say there never was a waiting list for Birkin bags. Scandal! Read the update.
Looks like the Hermes Birkin bag, the most unattainable It bag in fashion history, is not immune to the recession. If waiting lists are any indication, that is.
Portero started selling Hermes Birkins this week with big flashy copy that reads “The Wait Is Over. Get Yours Now.” Then we called around to Hermes, and found out there is no more silly waiting list–they told us we could walk right in and get one today. (We didn’t). So now that anybody with a tax return and life savings can join the fashion elite and get a Birkin, this might explain why Lady Gaga took a black Sharpie to hers.
Fashion folklore has it that in 2008, Birkins had a waitlist so long, Hermes eventually had to close it, as they couldn’t keep up with demand. Consider the cheapest one we’ve found, Hermès Violet Suede Veau Doblis 25cm Birkin Bag ($6,895), fashion stock. Buy it now when demand is low, and then sell it for double the price once Oprah gives it her seal of approval (or they become hot items again).
See why an Hermes scarf is worth the money. I saw this article so I hope it’s true for Shanghai. Love Shanghai, shop till you drop!.
