Hermes is mainly known for its leather bags and wallets, but it originally started out dealing in horse harnesses.

The Birkin, which is now a mainstream Hermes product, was originally made as a bag to store harnesses.

Today, the company is expanding into various fields such as jewelry, shoes, and clothing, in addition to bags and wallets.

The History of Hermès

The history of Hermès began when Thierry Hermès, the founder of the company, opened a workshop in 1837 to handle luxury harnesses. His skills were so highly regarded that he won an award at the Paris Exposition, and the workshop was popular in Paris.

In 1892, he created a bag for storing saddles, and this bag became the prototype for the Birkin, the mainstream Hermes bag today. This bag became the prototype of the Birkin, which is the mainstream of Hermès today. Hermès was active in France, but in 1900, he went to Russia to sell saddles and bags to Czar Nicholas II, and became more famous as a saddler worldwide.

As a result, many people in the U.S. began to use Hermes harnesses.

With the decline of the horse-drawn carriages, the demand for harnesses dropped, but Hermes took advantage of its know-how to start making leather goods such as bags and wallets, and further expanded its business to include clothing and accessories.
