Hermes
Thierry Hermes, founder of the Hermes brand, was born in Krefeld, Germany, in 1801. His father is a French immigrant, and his mother is German. The town of Krefeld is known as "the city of velvet" due to its long history in the textile industry. When the Hermès family moved to Pont Audemer, north of Paris, they took away the traditional German town industries and turned to selling leather products. Then they started making other products out of leather.
This is also the "cradle" of a brand specializing in the birth and growth of the highest quality leather goods. In 1837, Thierry Hermes founded a leather craft and mining workshop near the Avenue des Grands in Paris. He was determined to provide the most luxurious leather products, such as saddles and suitcases, to the European nobility. Gradually, a leather workshop called Hermes also created belts for racehorses.
His high-quality Hermès belts have been recognized and won many awards, including first prize at the Paris Exposition of 1855. Since then, Hermès has won first prize in the second exposition of the university studied in Paris in 1867. This is a pretty good start to a long brand journey in Hermes' long and exciting history, but not without its dark times.
One of the most famous things about Hermès belts is the belt pattern. Hermes belts are luxurious and soft due to the use of genuine leather. This accessory is highly prized and expensive because it is completely handmade, from tanning to very intricate seams. Most Hermes belts carry the letter H and are solidly cast from brass, silver, or gold, never rusting and unaffected by the environment.
The materials used to produce Hermes-branded men's belts are mainly high-quality cowhide, ostrich skin, and crocodile skin or are imported directly from the famous leather production region of this country (Italy, Tuscany). Hermès belts have always preferred to be made of full-grain leather rather than belts assembled from different types of leather.
