Eurocopter: Hermès Edition







For that someone special who really does have everything, Eurocopter introduces a partnership with fashion design house Hermès. The goal of the partnership is to "Restore the passenger to a position of pre-eminence" because really, if anything needed restoring it was the stature of helicopter passengers.

Sliding doors open to reveal an interior configuration that is aesthetic light-filled and unexpectedly spacious. The cabin, completely redesigned by Hermès to maximise available space, reflects the quality and finesse of Hermès’ craftsmen, offering passengers a pleasing blend of functionality, refinement and comfort. Surfaces from floor to ceiling have been covered in ‘Toile H’, a signature Hermès canvas used to manufacture the firm’s travelware since the nineteen-twenties. Seats and banquette are handcrafted for exceptional comfort, and upholstered in calf leathers, naturally grained and highly resistant.
Perfect! Just what I was looking for. Some of you looking at the pictures above might be saying "Hey, that's just a Eurocopter EC 135 like the one sitting on my helipad!" and you would be correct. I could not find any pictures of the Hermès edition.
