Hermés
If you thought you would get a historic text about the greek god Hermes, the son of Zeus and Maia, you were wrong. But you never know, maybe you might “show off” with that knowledge when you least expect it!
Hermès though, with the grave accent over the second e, is as you know one of France’s most luxurious fashion houses. Founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès, the brand have become synonymous with elegance and class, and especially with leather bags such as the Kelly Bag and Birkin Bag. Icons such as Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and John F. Kennedy have all been associated with the fashion that Hermès brought to them.
What is mutual amongst Hermès products, with a range from ceramic pieces to wallpaper to fragrances to accessories to suits etc, is that they all are made by true craftsmanship that shines through the products and gives them that signature Hermès edge, that almost is unprecedented. It doesn’t matter if you are looking for a casual, formal, summer or fall look, the quality and elegance will remain the same. Choose, for example, between suede, leather, silk, or cashmere products from Hermés and you will (literally) feel the care that they are made of. To buy a cashmere and silk scarf, or a cashmere turtleneck sweater, is to invest in yourself and your confidence, and as a result of that, you will enhance your appearance.
Last week we took a deeper look on Brunello Cucinelli. This Hermés text is shorter and more concise and more focused on fashion. We hope that the diversity in our texts keeps you interested and hopefully, this is a place to go when searching for inspiration. At least, that what we strive for.
Therefore, as usual, we want to give you our own favourite products, that inspires us, from Hermés.
