Hermès

Hermès is a French luxury fashion house founded in 1837, known for its exceptional craftsmanship, premium leather goods, silk scarves, and ready-to-wear fashion. The brand began as a harness and saddlery workshop in Paris, which is why its iconic logo features a horse-drawn Duc carriage.

Interesting fact: Hermès still keeps a private archive of every single bag ever made — not for sale, but for reference. If someone brings in a vintage Hermès bag, they can look up its exact year, leather batch, and even the craftsman who stitched it. The same craftsman signs their initials inside the bag. And if that bag ever needs repair, it goes back to the very same person — or one of the few who trained under them. In an era of disposable luxury, Hermès treats each bag like a living document.
