The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
Thierry Hermès founded the house in Paris in 1837, first crafting bridles and saddles for horsemen. The brand evolved into leather goods and scarves, building reputation on meticulous hand-stitching. The Kelly bag, created in 1935 and named for actress Grace Kelly, became the symbol of Hermès craftsmanship and exclusivity. Today the house operates flagship stores across six continents, with leather accessories commanding waiting lists and high resale value. Among 21,133 tracked brands, Hermès ranks twelfth in the Home, Kitchen & Appliances category, reflecting its expansion beyond fashion into tableware and home furnishings while maintaining production standards rooted in nineteenth-century Paris workshops.
