Hermès is synonymous with craftsmanship. A legacy dating back to its founding in 1837. Hermès artisans often spend years mastering their craft. Each iconic piece, like the Birkin and Kelly bags, reflects this dedication. Constructing a Birkin involves selecting the finest leathers, cutting them with precision, and hand-stitching—a process that can take up to 48 hours per bag. The Kelly bag, named after Grace Kelly, is crafted by a single artisan over 18 to 24 hours, ensuring every detail is perfect.
Hermès’ silk scarves showcase the brand’s artistry. These scarves are hand-printed using traditional screen-printing techniques, with each color applied one at a time, sometimes requiring up to 46 screens and several months to complete a single design. Beyond bags and scarves, Hermès excels in watchmaking and jewelry. The Arceau watch features asymmetric lugs and intricate dial designs. Each Hermès creation goes beyond a mere product and into the realm of wearable art.
