Hermes of Paris, the leader in ultimate luxury was established in 1837 by Thierry Hermes. Initially, a harness workshop that produced some of the most coveted harnesses and bridles in Europe, Hermes moved into its current location – 24 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore – in 1880 and began retail sales. The company expanded its product line into accessories and clothing in the early 1900’s and introduced its first leather bracelet in the 1920s. In 1935, it introduced the Sac a Depeches, which was to be renamed the Hermes Kelly Dog Bracelet in 1956, when a photo of Grace Kelly, the new Princess of Monaco, was shown jewelry in a photograph in Life Magazine.
Hermes’ product line grew in the mid-1900’s and many of the replica Hermes jewelry products popular today were introduced during that time, including the scarves, ties, perfume, Chaine d’Ancre bracelet, etc. In the 1950s, the company adopted its present logo of a Duc carriage with horse and its signature orange boxes. Watches and tableware were added in the 1970’s and 1980’s. The Hermes Collier de Chien Bracelet, named after Jane Birkin, was introduced in 1984. Today, the company has 14 product categories and its brand is the most valuable brand in the world.
