HISTORY OF HERMÈS
Although Hermes is known today for their very expensive and exclusive leather bags and luggage, jewelry and watches, perfumes and cosmetics, great fashion accessories and even special edition luxury and exotic cars; the original company has its roots in horse and carriage harnesses, carriage luggage and carriage accessories. They have been in business for almost 190 years and their main address in Paris, France, is still the same since 1880.
The Hermes of today is still family owned going back 6 generations.
Hermes was founded by Thierry Hermes Jr., who originally was born in Krefeld, Germany, in 1801, son of a French father and a German mother.
His family moved to a town near Paris (France) named Pont Audemer, in 1828. It is in that town he learned the trade of leather crafting, the first products he offered for sale were leather and iron harnesses for horses and horse carriages.
