Since its introduction in 1937, the silk scarves from French maison Hermès have always been a symbol of luxury, an icon worn by some of the world’s wealthiest. Now, watch them decorate the skies of Kuala Lumpur in the Hermès Kite Festival.
The Hermès Kite Festival will be held on May 17 to 18, 2025, at the Sentul Pavilion in Kuala Lumpur, filling the sky with movement, color, and wonderful scenes of silk.

Those joining in the festival can expect to see prints like the Plumets et Panaches, Robe Légère, the Sur Mon Nuage, and more designs turned into kites and decorating the sky.
