Hermes – Leather Goods and Perfumes
Hermes is a Paris based fashion, perfume, and leather goods company. Thierry Hermes founded the company in 1837; originally as a manufacturer of saddles, riding boots, and bridles, catering to the carriage trade of the time. Over the years, the company’s catalog grew to include its signature silk scarf, luggage and couture, fragrances, glass wear and tableware, and ready-to-wear lines.
Since its inception as a leather goods shop in Paris, the company had been offering products of the highest quality. In 1855 the company won the first prize for businesses in its class at the Paris Exposition. Their well-designed and finely wrought leather riding items earned them not only the highest accolades, but also a large and loyal following.
When the carriage and horse riding industry began to wane in favor of automobiles, Hermes adapted its expertise at leather working to the creation of leather wallets, bags, luggage, and other accessories. These accessories were generally for sports such as golf and polo, leading to Hermes’ line of couture sportswear. In fact in the 1920’s, the brand made fashion news by designing for the Prince of Wales a zippered leather golfing jacket. (At the time the zipper was actually a new invention.)
The company continued to expand well into the 20th century, continually adding more items to their lineup. Their perfumery started in 1951, and over the decades since then Hermes has created such scents as Terre D’Hermes, Hiris, Rouge Hermes, and Un Jardin sur le Nil.
By the 1980s their lineup was truly immense, with clothing and accessories in different luxurious materials and styles, as well as date books and teapots. Since the company never gave out licenses, they are able to monitor closely the quality of each and every one of their items.
Through the years the company has maintained a mien of conservative luxury, with many items still bearing equestrian motifs, designating the company’s historic origins. But to the fashion industry’s surprise, at the turn of the century, the company hired on a few of the more radical designers of the day – who fortunately proved their worth by living up to the Hermes name.
