The Hermes logo embodies tradition and prestige. The focal element—a horse-drawn carriage with a groom standing beside it—has been used since the mid-20th century and recalls the company’s origins in high-quality equestrian leather goods. This design is based on an illustration by French artist Alfred de Dreux and symbolizes craftsmanship, refinement, and historical continuity. Beneath the illustration appears the name HERMÈS PARIS in uppercase, rendered in a strict yet elegant typeface, typically in the brand’s signature orange. Over decades, the logo has remained largely unchanged, retaining its association with class and stability.
Hermes was founded in Paris in 1837 by Thierry Hermès as a workshop producing harnesses and bridles for European nobility. Over time, the brand expanded its focus to become one of the world’s most renowned and prestigious fashion houses. Hermes produces leather goods, clothing, accessories, fragrances, and homeware. The iconic Birkin and Kelly bags brought the brand international fame. Hermes remains family-owned and committed to handcrafted quality and exclusivity, making it one of the few truly independent luxury brands with sustained growth and global presence.
