About Hermès
Hermès makes leather goods, silk scarves, watches and ready-to-wear. Each Birkin and Kelly bag is made by a single artisan, and the company constrains supply deliberately, which is why waiting lists exist and resale prices routinely exceed retail. The house began in 1837 making harnesses and saddles, and its leather craft descends directly from that trade.
