biography
The story of Hermès began in 1837 in Paris, when Thierry Hermès founded a workshop specializing in the production of harnesses and saddles for the European aristocracy. From the very beginning, the maison distinguished itself through exceptional craftsmanship, a rigorous selection of materials, and meticulous attention to detail.
By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Hermès gradually expanded its activities, moving from equestrian goods into leather goods, travel trunks, and luxury accessories. Artisanal savoir-faire has remained at the heart of the house, with limited production carried out entirely by hand.
One of the maison’s most iconic creations is the silk scarf, introduced in 1937. Made from the finest silk and printed with intricate patterns and rich color combinations, the Hermès carré quickly became a signature accessory, admired for its elegance and artistic creativity.
In leather goods, Hermès has created some of the most celebrated handbags in the world. The Birkin, introduced in 1984 in collaboration with actress Jane Birkin, has become an ultimate symbol of luxury and craftsmanship, handcrafted by a single artisan using the finest leathers. The Kelly, originally designed in the 1930s and made famous by Grace Kelly, embodies a structured and timeless elegance that transcends generations.
Despite its international expansion, Hermès has remained committed to a model rooted in family independence, artisanal production, and controlled growth. Today, the maison stands as one of the finest expressions of French luxury, combining tradition, innovation, and a timeless aesthetic reflected in its silk scarves, iconic leather goods, and uncompromising dedication to quality.
