Hermes is a Paris-based fashion, perfume, and leather goods company founded by Thierry Hermes in 1837. What began as a company that made leather saddles soon transitioned into trunks and bags and then an eventual transition into handbags and ready to wear fashion. Seven generations later the Hermes family has still retained its legacy. Two of their most famous products are their Silk Scarves and the Birkin Bag.
