History
Thierry Hermès established the company in 1837 as a harness workshop in Paris, serving European noblemen. The brand transitioned to luggage and handbags as transportation evolved from horse-drawn carriages to automobiles. Hermès introduced the Kelly and Birkin bags, which became significant cultural artifacts in the history of leathercraft. Its reliance on the saddle stitch and refusal to use assembly lines distinguish its production methods within the modern fashion industry.
