Hermès, contemporary artisans since 1837
Since 1837, Hermès has remained faithful to its artisanal model and its human values. The freedom to create, the constant quest for beautiful materials, and the transmission of exceptional know-how – which enable the creation of useful, and elegant objects which stand the test of time – forge the uniqueness of Hermès.

For six generations, Hermès has been an independent, family-owned French house, artisanal, creative, innovative and responsible, whose entrepreneurial spirit has become its business model.

Six generations of artisans
Since 1837, generation after generation, Hermès has followed a dual thread – on the one hand the painstaking work of the craftsman in his workshop, and on the other the lifestyles of its customers.

A house of artisans and human values
Human values, based in the artisanal world, guide the company in its development: Hermès is committed to preserving resources, supporting the regions in which its manufactures operate and ensuring the transmission of exceptional know-how.

Creative freedom
The sixteen métiers of the house create collections that combine freedom with inventiveness and know-how. The objects are designed to be durable and to adapt to changing lifestyles.

A family-owned and independent artisanal house since 1837, Hermès creates beautiful and functional objects that are repaired and passed on from generation to generation. The quality of the materials, combined with the exceptional know-how kept alive by its artisans, makes for sustainable creations characterised by timeless elegance.

Customers at the core of an omnichannel network
Each of the 293 stores across 45 countries is a welcoming and unique “house of objects” that combines the identity of Hermès with the local culture, offering visitors an exceptional experience.
