Hermes has experienced more than 170 years of baptism and has developed from a small harness shop in Paris to a top luxury brand now, and has accumulated a large number of classic works during this period. The Hermes bag series and leather feel its extraordinary unique charm.
"stubborn" traditional culture
It seems that top luxury goods cannot be escaped by hand: Rolls-Royce 's extremely luxurious interior, Johnnie Walker Blue Party collector's wine bottles and wooden boxes, Berluti's customized leather shoes...... Hermes is no exception. However, big brands such as LV, Dior, Loewe, Fendi, etc. have highly sought-after handmade bags. Why can Hermes get rid of them and become the only one? I think this should be closely related to the "stubbornness" of the Hermes family.
Under the market economy, major luxury goods groups are ready to change the inefficient manual production methods, compress labor costs, and improve economic benefits.
When the luxury empire LVHM had already transformed the use of capital to expand in a high-profile manner and promote assembly line production into corporate genes, Hermès was still making bags with traditional hand-made techniques, making its customers anxiously wait. For more than 170 years, every generation of the Hermes family has firmly believed that even inefficient and small amounts, traditional handicraft art is the soul of Hermes and a brand culture immersed in Hermes' blood and cannot be shaken.
The acquisition war between LVHM, which was rich and powerful back then, and Hermes Group was actually a war between modern management ideas and traditional brand culture. To make an exaggerated metaphor, if the pulse of LVHM is capital, then the pulse of Hermes is handicraft culture, which are the two extremes of the luxury goods industry. Facts prove that in this industry, people are more willing to pay for this stubborn persistence, and Hermes also won the battle between economic strength and cultural heritage.
The pillar of traditional handicraft culture is craftsmen. Each hand-made package is a brand new creation, not a copy, so craftsmen have a heavy responsibility. Each Hermes bag is responsible for multiple processes such as paper pattern, leather selection, tailoring, sewing, etc. The bag contains the signature of the craftsman, and some handbags also have numbers. In order to find the responsible craftsman when repair is needed.
is not a craftsman who has been qualified to become a Hermes bag after making handmade bags for a few years. Most of the craftsmen in Hermes come from the famous Parisian technical school École Grégoire-Ferrandi. This school’s courses on food, desserts and handmade leather goods are very famous, and it sounds like the New Oriental and Lan Xiang of the Celestial Empire. The difference is that École Grégoire-Ferrandi has high tuition fees and high graduation threshold. In Europe, where the employment market is sluggish, the employment rate of graduates here is as high as more than 90% within half a year, and most of them can become first-class talents in their respective fields.
It can be said that many craftsmen have been preparing for making Hermes bags since the first day they entered École Grégoire-Ferrandi, and have been honing for decades, and have devoted their lives and feelings to Hermes bags. Every Hermes bag, every corner edge, every indentation, and every stitch are full of the warmth of the craftsman's heart. It is a unique work of art, which makes those bags "replicated" by modern means unattainable.
Set the words of an ordinary craftsman in Hermes, "Light and weather changes constantly, but an object you love never changes". Light and weather are always impermanent, and a deeply loved item will never change. This is craftsmanship.
"No dead ends" handmade craftsmanship. I don't know if there is any brand of bags made as rigorous and precise as Hermes, without dead ends.
Leather suppliers will use the best leather materials in the world for Hermes to choose because it is willing to offer a much higher price than other big brands.
Sometimes Super VIP customers will book a rare leather handbag, and they have to wait for Hermes to find such a leather indefinitely. Of course, the price is not cheap, and Hermes is the best at pricing unique items.
The craftsmen will carefully check each part when they get the leather. This process is dull and tedious.Every craftsman is like a helpless "Virgo". Any bite marks and minor trauma of mosquitoes will be regarded as flaws and will be removed immediately, because "Virgo" cannot tolerate spending the next dozens of hours of effort on a single skin. The craftsman carefully cut the leather that is most suitable for making bags. As for the quantity, it depends on the size of the bag. Hermes is very willing to use materials. A medium-sized lizard skin Birkin has to use 4-5 lizard skins.
When sewing bags by hand, the craftsmen used the saddle needle technique that Hermès has inherited from the 19th century to the present (this technique was later imitated by many brands). Each stitch is a brand new creation. The craftsmen have rich experience and the saddle needle technique is almost perfect, striving to never open the sewing of the bag.
Then the craftsman will use a hammer to flatten the seam heads, scrape the edges flat, sand, and wax them until they look like they are made of a piece of skin. When encountering small places, craftsmen have to wear double magnifying glasses. Their precise movements are no different from repairing a watch movement.
HTML Supervisor Lionel Prudhomme, director of Hermes Handicraft Workshop, said: "Whenever someone asks me what has changed during my 30 years of working at Hermes, I will answer 'Nothing has changed'. People will change, but the craft will not change." Hermes' unreplicable handicraft craft has been going on for more than 170 years and has been sticking to it. This has long become a miracle in the luxury industry.
