Description
Hermes was founded in Paris in the 19th century as a saddlery workshop that catered to the needs of horse riders. The company quickly gained a reputation for its exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail and has evolved into one of the world's most celebrated fashion houses - synonymous with classic design, elegance, luxury and quality.
Famous for the Birkin Bag and Silk Scarf and beloved by the great, the good and the uber glamorous - Hermes boasts an instantly recognisable signature style all of its own.
This book, beautifully illustrated with images of some of the world's iconic fashion items, charts the story of Hermes origins and how the brand became the symbol of French luxury and craftsmanship and the influential, innovative haute-couture power house it is today.
