The company dates to 1837, when Thierry Hermès opened a harness and saddle workshop in Paris. With the growth of the transportation industry during the first World War, the company utilized its leather expertise in the fast-growing luggage business. During the 1920s, Émile-Maurice Hermès extended the family name to saddle-stitched leather goods such as handbags, sport and automotive accessories, silk scarves, belts, gloves and watches.
Hermès' success continued through the Great Depression, when such classics as the Kelly bag, Chaîne d'ancre (linked) bracelet and riding jacket were introduced.
