HERMÈS - 2019 Universal Registration Document

OVERVIEW OF THE GROUP ACTIVITY BY MÉTIER

The hat collections, which always feature straw in summer and felt in winter, boast exceptional materials in the form of a 30-strand Montecristi Panama and a wide-brimmed hat combining a felt brim and leather crown. 1.5.2.3.4 Gloves The glove collections perpetuate the promotion of a broad palette of savoir-faire , with the arrival for winter of an ingenious pair of gloves composed of a one knitted pair and another in leather, which can be worn together or separately. The semi-bespoke, personalised service remains a feature of the métier in stores. 1.5.2.3.5 The Internet of Things The close collaboration between Hermès and Apple ®) continues with new Apple Watch Hermès creations. The latest Apple Watch Hermès Series 5 , unveiled in the autumn, introduced new cases and straps as well as new and exclusive interactive dials, specially designed for the Retina display now always featured. The collection plays with contrasting fabrics, marrying monochrome leathers and Della Cavalleria printed leathers. The harmonised dial prolongs the intensity of the shades. A stark contrast to this playful palette of infinite harmonies is the Apple Watch Hermès Series 5 in bold monochrome black. This limited-edition model combines a case in black sidereal steel, a black dial that marks the passing of time through a play of light and shadow, and single and double straps in matching Swift calfskin, with an extra Sport Hermès strap in black. This subtle and timeless version is presented in a black case bearing the two names: Hermès and Apple ® . 1.5.2.3.6 Shoes For the summer of 2019, Pierre Hardy, the Creative Director for women’s and men’s shoes unveiled a varied and joyful feminine collection centred on wedge sandals with dreamlike leather marquetry depicting the sun and moon meeting in a star-strewn sky. Among the unusual combinations, we saw a moccasin-cum-sandal, and mini and maxi buckles side by side in a game of scale in vivid tones. The winter collection focuses on boots and ankle boots in everyday variations, showcasing lightweight materials such as mesh. New structures combine colourful rubber soles with sleek uppers for a bold silhouette. Shoes are paired with warm velvet fabrics in a range of soft and deep tones. The men’s summer collection focuses on supple slipper-inspired moccasins, enhanced with metal details for a chic and relaxed look. The sports models, in technical textiles or mesh, create a dynamic silhouette. More urban models showcase the shoemakers’ savoir-faire with stitched leather and contrasting seams.

The spring-summer collection radiates the energy of pure colour: daffodil, golden yellow and orange pop mixed with the poetry of old-fashioned hues such as putty, cement or antique pink. This collection creates a free dialogue between forms, lines and designs, particularly by adorning different pieces with a reinterpretation of the Jardin de la Maharani motif, including a silk-screen printed blended blouson jacket. In this year of “Dreams”, the autumn-winter collection sees the metamorphosis of the emblematic horse into a joyful dragon, appearing on ex-libris buttons, shirts and woven silk jackets. Straight, curved or broken lines accentuate geometric effects on fabric adorned with twists, on the leather of the Virage jacket and on jackets embellished with topstitching. 1.5.2.3.1 Jewellery accessories The Collier de Chien bracelet in leather, a great classic of the collections, celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2019. For the occasion, the House launched a lighter more day-to-day version, the Collier de Chien 24 . The leather jewellery accessory ranges see the arrival of a new hallmark combining a metal padlock adorned with an engraved H and a stylised Swift calfskin padlock on which it sits. This pair is designed to be worn as bracelets, earrings or a pendant. Inspired by this year’s theme, a pendant has been designed to evoke a mini-box of dreams in stainless steel, with an enamel plate lid that slides open like a pill box. Horn is used in long twisted rings – an impressive technical feat that enlivens the earring and pendant collections. Finally, pendants also make an appearance in the men’s collections, featuring braided leather or metal, whilst metal bracelets are given a new gold finish. 1.5.2.3.2 Belts For women, the family of one-size belts welcomes the arrival of three new models designed to complement the jewellery accessories. Technical innovation makes its way into the men’s collections in the form of the reversible 32 width technical two-colour belt with chevron motif. A new buckle composed of six sliding rollers, each engraved with one letter of the word Hermès, injects an element of fun. 1.5.2.3.3 Hats The peaked cap, ever the star of our collections, sports a new look this year, with studs and a combination of leather and silk, inspired by riding helmets and embroidered with 38 hearts, or in plain cotton canvas.
