The company still uses a so-called saddle stitch to hold together its leather bags
Photo: William Jess Laird Earlier this month, Hermès moved its headquarters to Troy, Michigan. That’s not actually true, but as part of its Hermès in the Making series, the French luxury brand did bring some of its most skilled craftspeople to the Detroit suburb. Surprisingly, Hermès has history with the Motor City: In 1916, Thierry Hermès’s grandson, Émile-Maurice, met Henry Ford there. Ford introduced him to the zipper, which he had been using in his car designs.
Inside the Somerset Collection, a mall in Troy, the company erected a makeshift workshop with live demos. On the walls, a few artisans showed us exactly how some of the most iconic Hermès pieces are constructed — including the Kelly bag, silk scarves, and saddles … for your horse! Hermès originally made harnesses for horses, but with the invention of the car, it pivoted to handbags. The influence of the zipper! .Missed it? Don’t worry.
