Since 1837, Hermès has remained true to its artisanal production model and humanist values. Since then, generation after generation, Hermès has pursued a two-pronged approach: meticulous work by artisans and lifestyle for customers. Creative freedom, the constant search for the finest materials and the transmission of a unique savoir-faire to create practical, sustainable and elegant objects are what make Hermès unique. The independent, responsible family business manufactures the majority of its products at one of its 60 production and training sites in France, while developing an international retail network that includes 294 boutiques in 45 countries.
Founded by Thierry Hermès, Hermès has been an independent, artisanal, creative, innovative, committed and responsible French family business for six generations, whose entrepreneurial spirit has become its business model. The sixteen métiers of the house create collections that combine creative freedom with inventiveness and savoir-faire. The sustainable objects are designed for a lifestyle that will change over time. Humanist values from the world of craftsmanship are the leitmotif of the company’s development: Hermès is committed to conserving resources and is involved in the regions that host its manufactories.
