Hermès: Straight from the Horse's Mouth

By Luc Charbin

Book Overview

Drawn from the archives of Herm s, here is a delightful illustrated collection of enchanting stories and profiles that trace the odyssey of the luxury design family business founded by Thierry Herm s in 1837.

A leather-clad wheelbarrow to store the Duchess of Windsor's many gloves, a capricious apple tree, an extraordinary museum, an iconic bag, and a 40-year-old diary in the spotlight--these are among the characters and objects delightfully featured in Herm s: Straight from the Horse's Mouth.
