Hermès

Hermès is one of the most prestigious luxury houses in the world, renowned for its craftsmanship in leather goods (notably the Kelly and Birkin bags), silk scarves, ready-to-wear, watches, jewelry, fragrance, and home. The company has been controlled by the Hermès family for six generations and remains publicly listed in Paris with rare strategic independence. Hermès is famous for its long waiting lists, deliberate scarcity, and one of the highest operating margins in global luxury.
