This irresistible, authorized, illustrated gift book from the
luxury brand Hermes is an homage, in stories and drawings, to the
artisans and craftsmen who have been the foundation of the iconic
brand since its beginnings as a saddle-maker for the carriage trade
in 19th-century Paris. The stories are short, pithy, often quite
witty, and they include first-person accounts from the leather
artisans, silk manufacturers, and goldsmiths, gardeners, window
dressers, designers, and electricians who have plied their craft at
Hermes.We learn about quirky characters in the atelier who refuse
to share their tools, of an elevator ride with a visiting President
Nixon that went badly wrong, of a life-sized white rhinoceros made
for a window display that disappears in Switzerland, reappears in
Colorado, and returns, eventually, to Paris. A concise and witty
company history, the book shares genuine love for the craft of
producing luxury goods of the highest quality.Even if you can't
afford to buy your partner a Hermes bag or wallet, you can afford
to give them this enchanting book.
