(24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris)
Founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès as a saddlerycompany, the business has remained mostly in the control of the Hermès family for almost two hundred years. Today, the house of Hermès produces ready-to-wear fashion, home decor, jewelery, luggage, andfragrances as well as saddles.
Emile-Maurice Hermès, Thierry's successor, shifted the focus of the company at the turn of the 20th century away from the horse and towards plane, car, and traintravel. Hermès manufactured trunks, bags, overnight cases, from its signature saddle leather. Emile also purchased the building at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, which still houses the flagship storeas well as the workshops.
