Herbag 31 Retourné canvas and leather bag.

Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, Hermès expanded its production, introducing increasingly refined equestrian accessories. With the arrival of Charles-Émile Hermès, the company expanded into Europe and opened the famous boutique at 24 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, which remains the heart of the maison today.

In the 1920s, under the leadership of Émile-Maurice Hermès, the brand began to focus on leather goods and apparel, introducing innovations such as the zipper, for which it obtained exclusivity in France. The first modern bags were born, including the famous Haut à Courroies, the ancestor of future icons.

In the post-war period, Hermès consolidated its aesthetic language with the introduction of the carré, the printed silk scarves launched in 1937, which became an emblem of the maison for their refinement and creativity.

In the 1950s and 60s, two bags marked the brand's history: the Kelly, made famous by Grace Kelly, and subsequently the Birkin, born in the 80s from the collaboration between Jane Birkin and Jean-Louis Dumas. Both became global symbols of luxury and desire.

Today Hermès is one of the most prestigious brands in the world, synonymous with tradition, exclusivity, and uncompromising craftsmanship. While evolving into fashion, perfumery, and homeware, the maison remains faithful to its DNA: creating objects intended to last over time, crafted by master artisans and conceived as functional works of art.
