As soon as the health situation allowed it, the Saint-Louis store on Rue Royale reopened its doors, brightened up in a spirit of a cabaret to celebrate the promise of a return to conviviality and freedom. This atmosphere also travelled across borders, to the most emblematic points of sale. The House’s digital showcase is not left out: a new website was unveiled in September, more immersive and now compatible with mobile phone consultation to facilitate the presentation of tableware and decoration collections, lighting and crystal gifts. In 2021, Puiforcat once again placed tableware at the heart of its creative line with the launch of Monogrammes Puiforcat , a new collection of porcelain in half-sets that allows customers to personalise their tableware by playing with original monograms by Jean Puiforcat. This graphic and colourful collection was first launched exclusively in Paris, before being presented to Chinese customers at a series of events organized during the fall in Chengdu, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Within the workshop, activity remained strong, in particular thanks to the demand for solid silver cutlery, but also to the continuation of the work initiated on the continuous improvement of inventory management. The year 2021 was marked by the deployment of the new store concept in Paris, at 51 Rue François 1 er , and in Beverly Hills, with a brand new space located at 9530 Brighton Way in the Rodeo Drive district. These stores present the ready-to-wear and accessories collections in an elegant and bright atmosphere. The concept gives an important place to the values and services of the House with spaces dedicated to maintenance, tailor-made and personalisation. To celebrate these openings, the bespoke workshop in Paris offered two hand-made limited series. John Lobb also strengthened its presence in China through three events. In Beijing, the store located in the China World mall was operated for its first full year as a branch. In February, a virtual store was created on the JD.com luxury e-commerce platform. Finally, in September, a corner opened in the Shin Kong Place department store in Beijing. The other highlights of the year were related to savoir-faire : the integration of Norwegian cushion in the Northampton ready-to-shoe workshop gave birth to a new family of models, launched for the Fall-Winter collection. Furthermore, the bespoke workshop on Rue de Mogador in Paris has exclusively developed a brand new Lobb stitch. PUIFORCAT 1.6.7.2 BOOTMAKER JOHN LOBB 1.6.7.3

Holding Textile Hermès Groups together and coordinates under one structure all savoir-faire relating to textile production: from creation to sewing, encompassing weaving, engraving, printing, dyeing and finishing. It serves the Group’s different métiers , as well as external markets such as clothing and interior decoration, in particular with the brands Bucol, Métaphores, Verel de Belval and Le Crin. The 2021 financial year was marked by a significant recovery in activity with all customers, after a year in 2020 particularly affected by the health crisis. To support this recovery while ensuring that savoir-faire is maintained and passed on, new apprenticeship classes were introduced during the year. In addition, the Silk division’s real estate project is continuing its progress at the Pierre-Bénite site (Rhône). This project, the cornerstone of the sector’s modernisation, demonstrates its strong ambitions in a creative and contemporary spirit. As a first essential step, the logistics and industrial buildings were delivered, as planned, in 2020 and 2021. The completion of the office building is scheduled for 2022. The Tanneries division handles the purchase, tanning, finishing and sale of precious leathers destined for the Hermès Group and for high-quality brands and creations, mainly in the fashion, leather goods and watch-making industries. Its activities cover calfskin and goatskin as well as exotic leathers. The division also includes integrated crocodile farming operations. Its objective is to assert its position of excellence in the precious leather market by securing its supplies, optimising its production capacities, developing its savoir-faire , and respecting the environment and animal welfare. It constantly works and invests in this direction, focusing on innovation, creativity and the exemplary nature of its sectors. Despite the health crisis, the mobilisation of teams and the continuation of barrier measures made it possible to serve the House’s growing needs. As a result, activity recovered quickly and reached a volume close to that of 2019. Sales to external customers were more mixed, with a sustained recovery from major French customers, while the Italian market remained sluggish, and Asia returned to a level of activity comparable to that of 2019. The division managed to maintain its supplies throughout the year, including in areas heavily affected by the pandemic, such as India, and despite the difficulties encountered in maritime transport.
