About
Why this artist matters now
Hermès is the French luxury leather goods and fashion house established in Paris in 1837. Founded as a saddle and harness manufacturer, the company developed a distinctive aesthetic rooted in equestrian craftsmanship and handmade construction techniques. Its evolution from functional leather goods to high-end fashion accessories and ready-to-wear established a template for luxury branding that prioritized material quality and artisanal production over ornamental excess.
