Hermès International manufactures and distributes a diverse portfolio of luxury goods, including leather goods, ready-to-wear apparel, silks, watches, perfumes, and jewelry. The company's distinctive approach emphasizes exceptional craftsmanship and the use of premium materials, with much of its production maintained in its own workshops across France. This artisanal philosophy underpins the enduring appeal and high quality of its meticulously crafted products.
The company was founded in Paris in 1837 by Thierry Hermès, who initially established his workshop to serve the carriage trade, providing high-quality harnesses and bridles. This foundational expertise in saddlery and leatherwork provided the essential insight and technical mastery that would allow Hermès to adapt and expand its offerings over generations, evolving with the needs of its affluent clientele.
Hermès serves a global clientele of discerning individuals seeking exclusive, high-quality luxury items. The company's long-term vision centers on preserving its unique heritage of craftsmanship, maintaining its independence, and fostering a creative, family-owned enterprise that continues to uphold its tradition of excellence and distinctive style in the luxury market.
