The Orange Box
A one-inch smoked-salmon and orange parcel tied like a Hermès ribbon with a chive
For the Hermès obsession that runs through every Gunn project
Why this bite? Hermès orange is Westside Gunn's signature flex. A salmon parcel tied like the iconic box — the flex you can eat.
The Story
No artist has worn his love of Hermès louder. This bite is dressed as the house's famous orange box: a parcel of cold-smoked salmon and candied orange, tied with a single chive 'ribbon,' the color a deliberate, unmissable orange. It is taste as status, the wink of a man who knows exactly what the box signals before it's even opened. Luxury, gift-wrapped in one bite.
