How did a modest family-run horse harness workshop become one of the world's most influential and sophisticated brands?
How did the traditions of understated elegance and handcrafted craftsmanship become a new formula for status and taste—from Paris to Tokyo?
How was the Hermès aesthetic born—simple, intellectual, timeless, and trend-defying?

His research spans over a century—from the House's founder, Thierry Hermès, to his descendants, who, generation after generation, have made the Hermès name synonymous with impeccable style and a symbol of exceptional craftsmanship. This is the story of how one family managed to create an empire where every piece is a masterpiece, and every detail embodies a philosophy of timeless values, how fidelity to tradition can go hand in hand with innovation, and how artisanal craftsmanship becomes a measure of status.
Coated paper, rare illustrations, stylish cover, gift edition. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in history, fashion, and beauty.
