Hermès Festival des Métiers
In a world of fast fashion and limited attention spans.
A brand like Hermes reminded us that quality and craftsmanship comes at a price.
The Festival des Métiers is a showcase of the history of the brand that was founded in 1837, the same year Victoria came to the throne.
A window on the contemporary production of their offerings. Where we see skilled craftsmen and women in action. The brand and the products are well known, what maybe not so well known is the skill and time that goes to producing these wonders of the high luxury market.
It takes 24 months to make a Hermes scarf, a fact that astounded me. The attention to detail is truly amazing and each scarf if not quite bespoke, is at the same time not mass produced either.
This story is repeated across the whole range of Hermes products. You might only ever be able to afford one Hermes item in your whole life.
The Hermès Festival des Métiers will reassure you of the wisdom of your purchase.
The Hermès Festival des Métiers is currently in Amsterdam from the 1st of April until the 10th at the historic Hollandse Manege.
