Founded by Thierry Hermès as a harness workshop in Paris, Hermès quickly established itself as a maker of high-quality leather goods, particularly for the equestrian community. It soon expanded into handbags, ready-to-wear clothing, scarves, jewelry, and home furnishings. The brand’s Birkin bag, named after actress Jane Birkin, is considered one of the ultimate symbols of luxury. Hermès has remained family-owned and fiercely committed to craftsmanship, often handcrafting its products using traditional methods.
