New Mags | Hermès | Straight From The Horses Mouth

Discover this elegant, authorized, illustrated gift book from Hermès: an homage, in stories and drawings, to the artisans and craftsmen; the foundation of the iconic brand. Perfect for your library or as a table book and much appreciated as a gift

Straight From The Horses Mouth' stories are short, often quite witty and they include first-person accounts from the leather artisans, silk manufacturers, and goldsmiths, gardeners, window dressers, designers, and electricians who have plied their craft at Hermes.

We learn about quirky characters in the atelier who refuse to share their tools, of an elevator ride with a visiting President Nixon that went badly wrong, of a life-sized white rhinoceros made for a window display that disappears in Switzerland, reappears in Colorado, and returns, eventually, to Paris. A concise and witty company history, the book shares genuine love for the craft of producing luxury goods of the highest quality.
