hermès was founded in paris in 1837 by thierry hermès who was a harness maker. six generations of his descendants have worked towards building up the hermès group. in 1879, the son of thierry hermès transferred the family business to a now-famous address, 24 faubourg saint-honoré, where he branched out into saddlery. soon he was supplying saddles and harnesses to aristocratic stables all over the world.
in 1914, with the advent of automobiles, emile hermès, the founder’s grandson, foresaw the evolution of transportation and envisaged new kinds of lifestyles. he launched a line of fine leather goods and luggage with “saddle stitching”. the hermès style was born and soon extended to ready-to-wear, jewellery, silverware, diaries and silk scarves. in addition, emile hermès began a private collection, which was to become a source of inspiration for his designers. during the 1950’s, robert dumas and jean-rené guerrand, emile hermès’s son-in-law, continued this diversification.
from 1978 onwards, jean-louis dumas, along with other members of the fifth and sixth generation, breathed new life into the company by expanding into new business sectors and establishing a global network of hermès stores. today, hermès comprises a large variety of crafts : saddlery, leather bags, scarves, men & women ready-to-wear, perfume, watches, small leather goods, hats, leather belts, footwear, gloves, enamel, art of living, interior decoration, tableware and jewellery.
although hermès has achieved international status, hermès has never lost its human touch: the same traditions of fine craftsmanship, inspired by the hermès family values, continued to guide the company today, just as they did over 170 years ago.
爱马仕于1837年由马具工匠thierry hermès 在巴黎创立。经过爱马仕家族六代人的共同努力才有了爱马仕集团。1879年，thierry hermès的儿子将家族企业搬至现在这个众所周知的地址：福宝大道圣特娜街24号，也就是他业务触角延伸及鞍具制造的地方。不久，他更开始向世界各地的贵族马棚提供马具。
1914年，随着汽车时代的到来，爱马仕创始人的孙子emile hermès 预见到了交通方式的改变并且料想到新生活方式的出现。他运用马鞍的独特缝纫工艺来从事精美皮具及箱包制造。“爱马仕风格”从此诞生，并被广泛地运用于服装、珠宝、银饰品、日记本和丝巾。另外，emile hermès 亦创立了个人系列，此系列更成为他旗下设计师的创作灵感源泉。在整个20世纪50年代，emile hermès 的女婿 robert dumas 和jean-rené guerrand 均延续着这个多元化的创新之路。
从1978 年起，jean-louis dumas 与其他第五代和第六代继任者一起为爱马仕注入了全新的活力。他们开拓了全新的商业元素并将爱马仕专卖店网络推广至全球。今天，爱马仕旗下共有十七种系列：马具、箱包、丝巾、女装、男装、香水、钟表、小皮件、帽子、皮带、鞋类、手套、珐琅饰品、家居生活系列、室内装饰设计系列、餐瓷以及珠宝首饰。
虽然爱马仕奉行的是国际路线，但是我们从未放弃以人为本的宗旨。如同我们过去170多年所走过的，我们秉承一贯的精良工艺，我们的灵感来自于爱马仕大家庭价值观，这些精神因临我们继续前进。
