Hermes Celebrates its Esteemed Artisans in Copenhagen
Elena Rahman — October 20, 2021 — Art & Design
Hermes celebrates its esteemed artisan team at a Copenhagen exhibition. The exhibition showcases the various tools used to create intricately designed luxury fashion items. The Parisian Maison highlights the timeless power of craftsmanship and innovation at the Danish Architecture Center.
Featured creations span from clasps to leather and saddles. The brand unveils the detailed and thoughtful design process that goes into the fabrication of each item. For example, the Mosaique au 24 bag took more than two years of research to ensure that the silversmithed clasp was perfectly integrated into its soft leather flap. Moreover, the exhibition explores the brand's commitment to leatherwork -- it took five years to develop and reintroduce Volynka leather, a Russian variety that fell into obscurity, to its leather library.
