How Hermès Bags Are Made (Vogue Video)

[Celestial Blue]

Vogue just posted a fascinating, behind-the-scenes video from an Hermès leather goods studio on how they make their beloved bags. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting this! It’s strange.
Seeing the care that goes into making the bags, I am even more convinced that I should enjoy these special bags in small bites rather than having a row of them in all colours in my closet. There’s something romantic about having something so thoughtfully made and using it as it’s meant to be.

Thanks for the video.

We didn't see the Blouse Brothers of Pantin. Maybe they have retired.

I really enjoyed this video when it popped up on my YouTube feed today.
The part that really struck me was about how they "test" the sounds of the hardware and decide if they like it or not. I loved this so much because the sound of the hardware and the sound of the leather is one of my favorite parts of H bags. I have a swift Pliplat that "squeaks" and it makes me so happy!

This video made me realize why the punch dog collar jingles - they have (of course) optimized the jingle haha

So they make all bags by hand? I was reading somewhere that only Kelly’s and birkins are made by hand. I’ve even heard only parts of the k/b are made by hand. But I’m thinking that’s not true?

Wow!!! I wonder how the craftsmen know which bag to work on.

The Constance is made by hand and is one of the most difficult Hermes bags to make.

That’s right! I forgot about the Constance. Can anyone confirm that all Hermes bags are made by hand?

I am curious to know, too.

This video finally showed me how to pronounce 'haut a courroies' but I don't think I'll be brave enough to say it anytime soon!
