Mastering the art of tooling leather, <a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/brands\/hermes\/\">Herm\u00e8s<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0set up a workshop on the rue de Remperts, Paris in 1837. From this atelier, he rode up the ladder of success with impeccable saddlery and equestrian accessories. First, the French, then aristocracy from all over Europe, Russia, Asia and North Africa were his clients for horse harness and saddles. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1880, Thierry Herm\u00e8s\u2019 son Charles-Emile moved the workshop to the now iconic address 24, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honor\u00e9. At the turn of the century, with the advent of the motor car, the second and third generation Herm\u00e8s\u00a0decided to diversify into making luggage. This was the first step towards making bags. The first Herm\u00e8s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0bag<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> made in 1900, the \u2018Haut a Courroies\u2019, was designed to carry saddles. In 1922, Charles\u2019 son Emile-Maurice created the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/men\/hermes-noir-ardennes-leather-sac-a-depeche-38-briefcase-p86432\/\">Sac a Depeche<\/a>\u2019. At that time Herm\u00e8s\u00a0held exclusive rights for use of the zip and had crafted the first ever zippered leather jacket for the Duke of Windsor in 1918. The brand then ventured into clothes, bringing out the 90&#215;90 cm silk scarf (1928) inspired by Napoleon\u2019s soldiers and women\u2019s clothing (1929). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fourth generation of Herm\u00e8s\u00a0lead by Emile-Maurice\u2019s sons-in-law (Robert Dumas and Jean-Renee Guerrand) focussed on retail growth. Suffixing the Herm\u00e8s\u00a0name to their own, they are credited with introducing the Herm\u00e8s\u00a0tie, Herm\u00e8s\u00a0watches, perfumes and the iconic Herm\u00e8s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Birkin bag<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 1979. The fifth generation of the Herm\u00e8s\u00a0family under Jean-Louis Dumas Herm\u00e8s\u00a0expanded the flagship store at the Rue du \u00a0Saint-Honor\u00e9 and shifted the atelier to Pantin outside Paris. Today, the sixth generation of France\u2019s highest grossing family business and global fashion house caters to more than 250 retail outlets, half of which are owned by the <a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/brands\/hermes\/\">House of Herm\u00e8s<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Herm\u00e8s\u00a0look<\/b><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8866\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8866\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8866 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/c4ee13abd2889eeccb5045a2f5895f9e1490264167.1654.jpg\" alt=\"history hermes\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8866\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hermes Red Porosus Crocodile 18K White Gold and Encrusted Diamond Birkin 35 Bag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Famous personalities from Queen Elizabeth II to Elle McPherson and Julianne Moore have favored Herm\u00e8s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0bags<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Herm\u00e8s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0scarf<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, jewellery, and perfumes.

And so the \u2018Sac a Depeche\u2019 was rechristened the Herm\u00e8s\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kelly bag<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 1956. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Herm\u00e8s\u00a0Birkin bag<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was created for the English singer and actor Jane Birkin. Apparently, when on a flight, Dumas witnessed the trouble Birkin experienced when attempting to keep her straw handbag in the overhead compartment. He offered to design a bag for her which led to the creation of the iconic trapezoid Birkin handbag.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Why buy Herm\u00e8s?<\/b><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8867\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8867\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8867 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.theluxurycloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/1490679920-re-her-nj-w-00418-m-01-dl.jpg\" alt=\"history hermes\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8867\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Herm\u00e8s\u00a0Green Silk Sangles Belt Pattern Scarf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond the hype of being the favoured brand of fashion moguls, the best reason to invest in a Herm\u00e8s\u00a0is that every piece is hand-crafted, hand-printed or hand-stitched by a single artisan. Although time-consuming, this ensures the product is sturdy to last for generations and making an exact duplicate is impossible. Herm\u00e8s\u00a0also has a policy of destroying defective pieces before they leave the atelier. Stringent quality control measures include sourcing raw materials like leather directly from countries across the globe. Since 1937, Herm\u00e8s<a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/category\/women\/women-accessories\/scarves\/?search=&amp;filter%5Bcategory_two%5D%5B%5D=95&amp;filter%5Bcategory_three%5D%5B%5D=72&amp;filter%5Bbrand%5D%5B%5D=151&amp;fiter_result_view=30&amp;result_view_sort=relevance&amp;clicking=brand&amp;page=1\">\u00a0scarves<\/a> are woven from silk obtained from mulberry moth cocoons cultivated on company property in Lyon, France. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such exclusivity extends the waiting time and pushes<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> price of Herm\u00e8s\u00a0women\u2019s handbags<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> upwards of 6,000 USD, a scarf 320 USD and <a href=\"https:\/\/theluxurycloset.com\/category\/men\/men-accessories\/ties\/?search=&amp;filter%5Bcategory_two%5D%5B%5D=41&amp;filter%5Bcategory_three%5D%5B%5D=85&amp;filter%5Bbrand%5D%5B%5D=151&amp;fiter_result_view=30&amp;result_view_sort=relevance&amp;clicking=brand&amp;page=1\">a tie<\/a> 145 USD. Company-owned stores offer the best price, with most others cashing in on the name for profit. Another option is to buy Herm\u00e8s\u00a0from online portals which sell genuine items at discounted prices, such as our. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herm\u00e8s\u00a0is an institution. The original flagship store located at 24, Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honor\u00e9 houses a museum that includes a collection of tools that the \u2018grandfather of our grandfather\u2019 used. The brand was built by the master\u2019s hands working the needles and waxen thread on the humble saddle stitch to ensure perfection in design. How appropriate, then, that the Herm\u00e8s\u00a0logo adopted in 1945 is the horse and carriage.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When 20-year old Thierry Herm\u00e8s\u00a0left his native village in Krefeld, Germany for Pont Audemer near Paris, France, he couldn\u2019t have known that a century later, his name would become a coveted fashion brand.
