PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP AND ITS RESULTS REVENUE AND ACTIVITY BY MÉTIER

The Béarn and Calvi lines welcome new formats. The Béarn Combiné wallet offers all the functionality of a compact wallet in an even smaller format, still closed by a leather tab slipped into a metal H buckle. Calvi Duo retains its folding leather style and its original format, but adds a compartment with a press-stud closure to accommodate change, as well as the card compartment. The In-the-Loop Wink line plays with emoticons to imagine fun small leather goods, mini wallets, key cases or phone cases, featuring a mouth and mischievous eyes created in contrasting leathers. The Backpocket is a smart accessory for the Birkin . This removable zipped pocket slips over the back handle of the bag for immediate access to essentials. In tone on tone or a contrasting colour, it brings a different personality to the Birkin . The rollout of charms continues. A new miniature, the Kellydole charm is a true concentration of savoir-faire : meticulous, precise assembly, refined details – eyebrows, mouth, feet and hands – and technical achievements in the realisation of functional metallic parts. The must-have Rodeo horse becomes winged and takes on a new look in its Pégase version. Finally, a tiny zebra with a crazy colourful mane, the Geegee Savannah , joins the collection. Beauty and sensuality are the key words of the collection of materials. Around the base of Heritage leathers ( Box, Barénia, Vache naturelle, etc.), in the purest tradition of excellence, some 40 leathers illustrate this unique profusion of softness, sheen, relief and allure. But 2021 is also a year marked by innovation. Innovation in leather, giving pride of place to vegetable tanning, and creating an exceptional patina. The infusion of birch and oak used for the Volynka crocodile gives it a powerful smell of smoked tea and an irresistible allure of weathered mahogany, while the subtlety of chestnut gives the Galop d’Hermès leather a fragrance of waxed wood, a dense and full hand and a firm feel without being stiff. Innovation in textiles with the new Quadrille fabric, inspired by toile H , with its regular and compact weave. Remarkable innovation in new materials with Sylvania , a hybrid material made from Fine Mycelium™. The result of an exclusive collaboration between Hermès and MycoWorks, a California company that has created a premium material made from their patented process to enhance mycelium as it grows. Sylvania is neither leather nor textile. It is a fine and supple material, with a slightly plump hand and an incredibly soft touch. With its fine relief and amber hue, it has naturally found its place in Hermès’ collection of exceptional materials. MATERIALS 1.6.1.5

disco spirit of the 1970s to the Constance and Mosaïque au 24 bags, whose clasps are faceted with a polished-mirror finish. Lastly, combinations of textiles and leathers are in the spotlight and bring a light touch to certain models. This is the case of the 24-24 in its size 35 or the Picotin Pocket, which acquires an “adventurous” character with its exterior pockets. A new canvas called Quadrille , in a three-colour fabric made of 100% cotton, makes its appearance on the Victoria tote bag, the Herbag Zip and the Kelly Sellier . The men’s collections have multiplied the offering in response to contemporary uses, and revisit the identity codes of the great classics. The emblematic Sac à Dépêches features a new 29 cm messenger format that can be worn in different ways, including as a clutch bag, thanks to its removable shoulder strap. The Hermès Open 24 bag is a new sports bag made entirely of leather, whose side handles make it easy to grab and draw an H in contrasting materials or colours. The line also includes two models of small leather goods, a wallet and a card holder, whose signature is found in the folds and juxtaposition of leathers. Among the large formats ready for travel, the Galop tote bag, created in 1992, has been revived in a tweed wool tartan version, combined with leather. A special place has been given to the emblematic Haut à Courroies 40 bag. First, with a “western” design, transposing an embroidery inspired by the world of cowboys onto the leather. But also in a new Cargo version in canvas and leather inspired by military clothing, with multifunctional pockets on the front and back. The world of travel has shaped Hermès’ history throughout its development. These roots in facilitating travel have spurred the creation of the new rolling luggage, the RMS (Rolling Mobility Suitcase) . Bridging tradition and modernity, this luggage is inspired by both traditional leather suitcases, with its reinforced corners, and the urban and contemporary universe, with its skateboard wheels. Resolutely innovative, it has taken several years of research to create its particularly smooth wheeling experience and ease of use. It is available in a wide choice of materials and colours, including printed canvas, and offers the possibility of personally selecting the colours of the wheels and handle.
