Hermès is the most famous brand of luxury bags in the world began as a harness workshop in 1837 by Thierry Hermès in Paris France. His grandson, Emile-Maurice Hermès was responsible for the successful diversification of the business. In the 1890s, Hermès introduced its first handbag and gradually added watches, clothing, and accessories. The company did not use assembly lines; design and manufacture of all products were done in-house by hand.
