This captivating, authorized, and vividly illustrated gift book from the esteemed luxury brand Hermès pays homage, through narratives and illustrations, to the artisans and craftsmen who have been the very essence of the iconic brand since its humble origins as a saddle-maker for the carriage trade in 19th-century Paris. The stories are concise, pithy, and often quite witty, offering first-person accounts from the leather artisans, silk manufacturers, and goldsmiths, gardeners, window dressers, designers, and electricians who have honed their craft at Hermes. Within the atelier, we encounter quirky characters who steadfastly refuse to share their tools, recount an unfortunate elevator ride with a visiting President Nixon that took a turn for the worse, and delve into the creation of a life-sized white rhinoceros destined for a window display that embarked on an enigmatic journey, disappearing in Switzerland and reappearing in Colorado before ultimately returning to Paris. Presented as a concise yet witty company history, the book exudes genuine affection for the art of crafting luxury goods of the highest caliber. While purchasing a Hermès bag or wallet may not be feasible for everyone, presenting this enchanting book to your partner is a cherished and affordable way to express your appreciation for their unique taste and discerning nature.
