Since 1837, Hermès has remained faithful to its artisanal model and its humanist values. The freedom to create, the constant quest for beautiful materials, and the transmission of exceptional know-how – which enable the creation of useful, and elegant objects which stand the test of time – forge the uniqueness of Hermès.
Family-run, independent and socially responsible, the company is committed to maintaining the majority of its production in France, through its 54 production sites, while developing its international distribution network of 300 stores in 45 countries.
The group employs almost 19,700 people worldwide, including nearly 12,400 in France, among nearly 7,000 are craftsmen. Axel Dumas, a sixth-generation family member, has been Hermès CEO since 2013.
