Ladies & gentlemen, The Hermès Group, founded in 1837, designs, develops and markets high-quality products. Hermès specializes in leather, lifestyle accessories, perfumery, luxury goods and ready-to-wear collections. Characteristic for the brand is the logo of a Duc carriage with horse, which the company has had since the 1950s. But how did it all start? In 1837, Thierry Hermès (1801–1878) first established Hermès as a harness workshop on the Grands Boulevards quarter of Paris, dedicated to serving European noblemen. He created some of the finest wrought harnesses and bridles for the carriage trade. Monsieur Hermès earned citations included the first prize in its class in 1855 and the first-class medal in 1867 at the Expositions Universelles in Paris. Hermès’ son, Charles-Émile Hermès (1835–1919), took over the management from his father and moved the shop in 1880 to 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, where it remains today and where the new leader introduced saddlery and began retail sales. The era of Hermès has had its rise and falls and as one fashion observer noted, “Much of what bears the still-discreet Hermès label changed from the object of an old person’s nostalgic to the subject of young people’s’ dreams.”
