Hermes Creates $13,000 Basketball

French luxury fashion group Hermes, famed for its exclusive handbags and scarves, said Friday it had created a $12,900 basketball to grace its renovated Los Angeles store.
The blue calf leather ball is hand-stitched and embossed with the house’s trademark H sign along with the inscription Beverly Hills.
The Hermes store on Rodeo Drive opened in 1997. The company recently bought the building and the new store is spread over 10,226 square feet.
