Azap Silk Epsom leather wallet.

At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, the maison evolved following social changes. Under the guidance of Charles-Émile Hermès and then his sons, the company moved from harnesses to travel goods, introducing luxury bags, suitcases, and accessories. In 1922, the first Hermès women's bag was born, followed in 1929 by the first women's prêt-à-porter collection.

The connection to the equestrian universe remains central and inspires many of the brand's symbols, such as the famous Carré scarves, introduced in 1937, today iconic for their detailed designs and artistic prints. In the 1950s and '60s, Hermès consolidated its reputation thanks to artisanal quality, rare materials, and a sober yet extremely refined aesthetic.

Bags became legends: the Kelly, made famous by Grace Kelly, and the Birkin, born in 1984 from an encounter between Jane Birkin and Jean-Louis Dumas, bear witness to the maison's ability to create objects desired worldwide.

Throughout the 20th century, Hermès expanded its universe to include prêt-à-porter, jewelry, watches, perfumes, and home décor, without ever renouncing its DNA: discreet luxury, craftsmanship, and tradition.

Today Hermès is one of the most prestigious brands in the world, a symbol of French excellence, savoir-faire, and timeless creations. The maison continues to embody the idea of authentic luxury, built on time, quality, and executional perfection.
