Thierry Hermès, the founder of the company, steadily built his reputation as a master saddler, and his fame was sealed when he won the silver medal at the Paris Exposition of 1867.
The 21st centuryHERMÈSReaders who know Thierry Thierry's "The Great British Leather" may be disappointed that it was not awarded a gold medal, but it is said that this was because Thierry used English leather instead of the local French leather. Thierry chose to use English leather simply because it was superior in quality.
Hermès is today thanks to this craftsmanship and also to the foresight of its visionaries. The third generation, Emile Hermès, was active in this field. The most prominent example is the bold rudder he cut in anticipation of the advent of motorization. Starting with bags, he quickly but slowly expanded his field to fashion and laid the foundation for what we see today. The hats in the Hermès collection are definitely worth picking up.
The "Nevada" cap, a continuation of last season's cap, is double-faced in wool and accented with a bi-color, a metal piece at the back, and a crew de sel, meaning a saddle stud. The "Pete" hat, made of rabbit cut felt, has a wide brim and a striped grosgrain that blends perfectly.
Its appearance is one word: elegant. The enchanting smell comes from the excellent materials and mature craftsmanship.
