Thierry HermA''s opened a harness shop in 1837. His popular shop was for the fine equestrians and European noblemen. When his son took over, he relocated the shop to a more popular urban area and began selling saddlery in addition to the harnesses. Well known internationally for it's luxury goods, the company continued to grow. In 1910, the grandsons inherited the business and expanded the business to include clothing. To include the clothing in their line, they had to obtain rights to use the zipper. (That sounds so bizarre, we just go to the store and buy a zipper.) The Prince of Wales commissioned their first leather zipper golf jacket. In 1922, to make one of the grandson's wives happy, they introduced luxury handbags to their customers. They were so popular the grandson's opened two shops in 1924. By 1934, the Hermes scarf was introduced to the public and was a roaring success. The Kelly purse, named for Grace Kelly after Life magazine featured her carrying this bag, became one of the best-selling purses in fashion history, even today it's still popular. Hermes also give us the popular Birkin bags.
