Hermes

Drawn from the archives of Hermes, here is a delightfully illustrated collection of enchanting stories and profiles that trace the odyssey of the luxury design family business founded by Thierry Hermes in 1837. A leather-clad wheelbarrow to store the Duchess of Windsor's many gloves, a capricious apple tree, an extraordinary museum, an iconic bag, and a 40-year-old diary in the spotlight-these are among the characters and objects that tell the story of Hermes: Straight from the Horse's Mouth. Author Luc Charbin brings to life the voices of the saddlers, sales assistants, window-dressers, silversmiths, and gardeners of Hermes across several generations, accompanied by the distinctive drawings of Alice Charbin.
