History and when Hermès International S.A. was founded

Hermès was founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès in Paris as a workshop specializing in saddlery and fine equestrian leather goods. During the nineteenth century, the company built a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship, catering to elite customers and establishing a legacy of quality that would guide its future evolution.

In the early twentieth century, under successive generations of the Hermès family, the company diversified into travel goods, handbags and accessories, transitioning from equestrian items to sophisticated consumer products for affluent clients. This era introduced the foundations of several product categories that would later become iconic, including silk scarves and leather handbags.

From the mid-twentieth century onward, Hermès expanded internationally and refined its distinctive aesthetic, combining elegance, minimalism and exceptional materials. The introduction of the Kelly and Birkin bags further established the brand’s global prestige.

By the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, Hermès broadened its product universe, strengthened its retail network and modernized operations while preserving traditional craftsmanship. Between 2020 and 2024, Hermès expanded production capacity in France, advanced sustainability initiatives, enhanced digital presence and reinforced growth in Asia.

The period underscored the resilience of the luxury market and the brand’s ability to sustain demand through exclusivity, heritage and uncompromising craftsmanship. Hermès remains one of the most influential luxury houses worldwide, guided by a legacy spanning nearly two centuries.
