I have to admit that when I saw this topic my first thought was to check the date. Nope...about one week early…
Apparently all the sunglasses are made from one company/ factory/ corporation so I don’t know if it’s better or worse...
That was Luxottica but recently lots has changed and many are doing in-house or using up-market brands.
If H are using French/Italian brands as makers it rules our Estee Lauder (Tom Ford, Beckam, Aveda etc) or Procter & Gamble
The full slap makeup is so popular now, if Hermes decide to chase that pot of gold I’ll be very disappointed.
Stick to what you do well and leave others to mop up the rest.

So they are expanding in this segment because silk sales are stagnant and ties are going out of fashion... It's not necessarily bad for the brand I think as many of the product categories they have today weren't exactly a part of the core business when they were added, including the silks... But I'm not sure how this will turn out. The production will be outsourced so I'm not really sure why they coulnd't do the same with sunglasses. There are also small scale makers of sunglasses they could buy if they wanted to. I believe Vuitton used "in house" or a smaller production initially when the sunglasses were still made in France.
It will be interesting to see if the products are tested on animals.
Unless they approach this in a very thoughtful and progressive way, the new line of products will not interest me. Especially as I'm completely happy with the skincare products I buy from my natural grocer!
I wish they would stick to what they do best and improve on it.
I’m happy with my drugstore makeup and skincare. I think Hermès is making a mistake. Cosmetics is not their bailiwick. I don’t see it working out for them.

A good deal of my makeup is Chanel. Their eye and lip products in particular beat any other brand, hands down, no one can beat their lasting quality, colors, pigmentation, etc. I’ve worn them my whole life and my mother has, too.
