The "Handicrafts of Hermès" exhibition, which opened at Omotesando Hills in March of this year, widely communicated the fact that Hermès is a Maison that is created by the hands of its makers. As the copy of the exhibition says, "The atelier has arrived," 10 different craftsmen's skills were shown, including saddles, bags, silk scarves, ties, jewelry, watches, gloves, and more. The event, which began in 2011 and traveled around the world, closed with great success. The event was launched in 2011 and has toured around the world, ending with a successful conclusion.
If you have a chance, you should definitely take a look at the workmanship of the leather craftsmen. The Coup de Celiée, in which a single thread is sewn with two needles, is a good example, and the craftsmanship cultivated in the harness industry is something you cannot take your eyes off. The "Autacroix," "Kelly," and "Birkin" models that have been created as a result of this process have become so popular that their names have taken on a life of their own.
The new "City News" and "City Slide" are two such masterpieces with the potential to be linked to such masterpieces.
The "City News" is aHERMÈSThis messenger is made of Vaux-Togo , a calf that is a representative of the Togo leather. With a pocket on the back and a main compartment with a flap, it is as mobile as a messenger should be. The "City Slide" shoulder strap is made of Vaux Evergrain , a soft and light calf that is ideal for active lifestyles.
All of them allow you to enjoy the original grain and smooth feel of leather, and are also a unique way to learn about the craftsmanship that Hermes is proud of. The stitch work, which is flawless, is already in the realm of art.
