Hermes Handbags: Affordable High End Designs

Hermes handbags are world renowned as being amongst the finest leather bags. These designer handbags appear to be simple at first, yet the simplicity makes way for exquisite, subtle detail on closer inspection.

History of Hermes Handbags

Though it’s hard to believe, Hermes Handbags didn’t begin as a luxury design house. Founded by Thierry Hermes in 1837, the company began as a workshop for building harnesses. Yet, these weren’t just any harnesses. Hermes and his sons soon had built such a fine reputation that they were crafting harnesses for the Tsars of Russia.

It wasn’t until Hermes gained exclusive rights to the use of the zipper for leather goods, in 1918, that Hermes truly entered the world of high fashion. Hermes introduced the zipper to France!

1937 was a big year for designer tote bags as it was the year the Hermes Kelly bag was introduced (later to be worn by Grace Kelly). This was the beginning of the enduring popularity of Hermes handbags internationally. Since then, such celebrities as Jackie Onassis, Jane Birkin, Audrey Hepburn, Oprah Winfrey, and Kate Moss have been Hermes wearers and advocates.
