Hermès International S.A., founded in Paris in 1837 by Thierry Hermès, is a prestigious French luxury goods company renowned for its craftsmanship and high-quality products[1]. Initially specializing in saddlery and harness-making for horse riders, Hermès evolved to focus on leather goods, which now form the core of its business, alongside silk, ready-to-wear fashion, watchmaking, jewelry, accessories, and perfumery. By 2020, its beauty division had expanded to become the company’s sixteenth business line[1]. The company remains family-controlled, led by descendants of the founder through three branches united under the H51 holding company. Hermès emphasizes artisanal skill, employing around 25,000 people globally, including 7,000 craftsmen and 15,000 employees in France, where it operates 60 manufacturing sites[1]. Hermès follows a unique, integrated business model that balances creativity, craftsmanship, and controlled distribution. This strategy has allowed it to maintain strong client loyalty and sustained growth even amid economic and geopolitical uncertainties. In 2024, Hermès generated €15.2 billion in sales with a net income of €4.6 billion[1]. The company reported €11.9 billion in consolidated revenue through September 2025, marking a 9% increase at constant exchange rates, driven by its distinctive artisanal approach and focused communication[2]. Hermès has demonstrated resilience in key markets, notably in Asia, where despite a slowing luxury market, it avoided aggressive promotions and overexpansion, resulting in a 17.6% revenue increase in Japan during the first half of 2025[3]. Analysts highlight Hermès’ disciplined retail strategy and internal leadership continuity as factors positioning it well to navigate market volatility and continue expanding its market share[3]. Overall, Hermès stands out in the luxury sector for its commitment to heritage craftsmanship, innovative creativity, and a prudent, long-term growth strategy, makin
