Hermès

Hermès is a French luxury goods manufacturer specializing in leather, lifestyle accessories, home furnishings, perfumery, jewelry, watches and ready-to-wear. Founded in Paris as a harness workshop catering to European noblemen, the company has remained family-controlled throughout its history and maintains exceptional craftsmanship as a core value. Hermès is renowned for its meticulously handcrafted products, with artisans training for years to master their craft. The brand's most iconic products include the Birkin and Kelly handbags, which have become symbols of luxury with years-long waiting lists, the silk scarves (carrés) featuring vibrant prints, and the distinctive H belt buckle. Hermès is known for its discreet elegance, extraordinary attention to detail, and use of the finest materials sourced globally. The company controls its own production facilities and limits licensing to maintain quality and exclusivity. Unlike many luxury competitors, Hermès emphasizes timeless design over trends, creating pieces intended to last generations. The brand embodies French luxury tradition while subtly evolving its offerings across 16 product divisions, from its equestrian roots to contemporary lifestyle collections.
