In March 2018 Leela and The 8 Percent were invited to document a sneak-peak of the Hermes at Work exhibition in Melbourne.

Melbourne Town Hall hosted Hermes at Work, an itinerant celebration of the artisans that make Hermès what it is. Creators from nine different métiers of the luxury brand will meet, greet, and demonstrate their individual areas of expertise. Attendees were able to wander through the display areas and discover exactly how Hermès’ famous bags, saddles, gloves and silk squares are made, and there were round table discussions with the artists. The event was an unprecedented look into how one of the most luxurious brands in the world does its work.
