Hermes

Hermès International S.A., or simply Hermès is a French high fashion house established in 1837, today specialising in leather, lifestyle accessories, perfumery, luxury goods, and ready-to-wear.

As of 2008, Hermès has 14 product divisions encompassing leather, scarves, ties, men's wear, women's fashion, perfume, watches, stationery, footwear, gloves, enamel, decorative arts, tableware, and jewelry

Hermès is renowned for its handmade luggage and handbags. The company does not use assembly lines. Only one craftsperson, who may have been employed by the company for decades, makes a single handbag at a time, hand-stitching individual pieces with linen thread and using an awl. One bag might require 18 to 24 hours to produce.

Since 1951, the company has created several scents for both men and women.
