The history of the Hermès brand

Hermès was founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès. The specialities of this luxury brand are very diverse (luxury bags, leather goods, saddlery, tableware, perfumery, ready-to-wear fashion, jewellery, etc.). The colour orange sets it apart from other luxury brands. Originally, Hermès made harnesses and saddles for horse riding. The company is still mainly owned by the founder’s family. With the rise of the automobile, Hermès quickly became a leading brand for gloves, belts and bags. The first Hermès carré (square silk scarf) was designed in 1937 and was quick to attract wealthy customers such as Jackie Kennedy.

Most popular Hermès handbag models

Hermès is known worldwide for its iconic models such as the Kelly handbag and the Birkin handbag. This brand is renowned for the quality and elegance of its creations. Their expertise is unique, some of the pieces can only be made by hand. One of their workshops is located near the famous boutique at 24 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré in Paris. Hermès has always known how to keep up with the times by importing the first zip or by collaborating with Apple.

Hermès collaborations

Hermès has collaborated with some of the greatest designers for its clothes and bags, among them Jean-Paul Gaultier and Martin Margiela. Hermès has also been able to leave its mark on several generations with its timeless models of jewellery and watches with its Parade rings, trademark anchors and the Cape Cod watch.
