The influence of the zipper! The company still uses a so-called saddle stitch to hold together its leather bags. Condition: As New- protective stickers intact Colour: Black Hardware: Gold Material: Epsom Measurements: 1.8 x 81.5cm Origin: France Inclusions: Dustbag. On the walls, a few artisans showed us exactly how some of the most iconic Hermès pieces are constructed (no, DIY isn’t possible) - including the Kelly bag, silk scarves, and saddles … for your horse! Hermès originally made harnesses for horses, but with the invention of the car, it pivoted to handbags. Inside the Somerset Collection, a mall in Troy, the company erected a makeshift workshop with live demos. We learned all this during a weeklong event by the French brand, which invited journalists and shoppers to watch about a dozen of its 850 artisans at work. Many women associate the Kelly with a formal look, opting for the Birkin if they fancy a more casual. Famed for its craftsmanship, immediately recognizable style, and elusiveness in obtaining one, the Hermes Kelly bag is a true icon. Hermès brought the zipper patent to Europe and started using zippers in his company’s bags. Alongside the Hermes Birkin bag, the Hermes Kelly bag is one of the most iconic handbags on the market. Ford introduced him to the zipper, which he had been using in his car designs. Surprisingly, Hermès has history with the Motor City: In 1916, Thierry Hermès’s grandson, Émile-Maurice, met Henry Ford there. That’s not actually true, but as part of its Hermès in the Making series, the French luxury brand did bring some of its most skilled craftspeople to the Detroit suburb.
Earlier this month, Hermès moved its headquarters to Troy, Michigan.
