READY‑TO‑WEAR AND ACCESSORIES

1.6.2

1.6.2.3.2 Belts Women’s belts continue their momentum and head further into the realm of fantasy. This year, the buckles are transformed into butterflies, leathers are adorned with pockets and the emblematic boucle H appears in four pop colours matched with different leathers. For men, the buckles are adorned with coloured resin, positioned on tone‑on‑tone knit bands. The metal makes waves and illuminates a very graphic version of the essential boucle H with a thousand reflections. The boucle H also takes off in a design emphasising perspective, associated with a Take Off band whose flame pattern, embroidered on the leather using a tufting technique, perfects the illusion of take‑off. 1.6.2.3.3 Hats and gloves On women’s hats, details come to the fore, on caps, wide brims, bucket hats and berets. Embossed Swift calfskin jacrons, Médor studs in polished metal, printed grosgrain ribbon and interior patches add a creative touch to the collections. In summer, straw comes in many shapes, including crocheted, openwork and fringed panama hats. In winter, felt warms a collection with shades of lichen blue, red, beige and sage embellished with patterns and materials dear to the House, such as a Point Sellier grosgrain ribbon or a Hunter cowhide band signed with a Hapi metal buckle. Bobs and caps for men sport trompe‑l'oeil patterns. A safety pin appears to be embroidered on the “wool check” pattern of the Punk line. A robot head or a profiled horse's head are drawn by patches in Swift calfskin. And shirt stripes make their mark on very sporty caps. Head accessories continue to explore the House’s savoir‑faire through a wide range of leather headbands, silk hair slides and bun hairpins in horn and lacquered wood. Accessories that are as elegant as they are essential in winter, gloves cultivate a rich palette of colours. With quartz pink, bougainvillier, sherbet lemon, tundra and trellis green in the women's collections, and for men, navy blue, terracotta red, pollen yellow or a mist blue in leather or cashmere gloves. 1.6.2.3.4 The Internet of Things The collaboration with Apple continued in 2022 with a new collection inspired by the House’s equestrian universe. The form of a horse's head, apples, horseshoes... a playful environment embellishes the dial of the Apple Watch Hermès Series 8 . Its colours change with the mood and the movements of the wrist. In standby mode, it takes on night‑time hues and the horse’s eye closes, an expression of complicity or an invitation to rest… The Gourmette bracelet is reinterpreted with a bold touch: leather and metal chain unite in a model that wraps twice around the wrist, both elegant and assertive. The Apple AirTag Hermès , an object as aesthetic as it is fun that helps to locate keys in the blink of an eye, plays the card of fantasy with dedicated pictograms. The Swift calfskin keyring case is printed with clever signage: house, bicycle, boat, etc. that conceals a trompe‑l'oeil key.

1.6.2.1 The Ready‑to‑wear and Accessories métier generated revenue of €3,152 million in 2022, i.e. 27% of consolidated sales. WOMEN’S READY‑TO‑WEAR The summer 2022 collection gives pride of place to boldness and lightness. It highlights innovative pieces adapted to the women's daily lives. Wardrobe classics are reinterpreted to match new functionalities: printed silk twinsets, a daytime jacket in denim, cargo trousers in technical cotton, a wrap coat in precious baby cashmere. The leather goods heritage comes to animate this season: the metal eyelets of the Mangeoire bag adorn the fastenings of outdoor wear, while the drawstring of the Pochon bag inspires the belts of trousers and dresses. For winter, Nadège Vanhée‑Cybulski, Artistic Director of Women’s Ready‑to‑wear, extends the chapter of lightness and invites to rediscover the House’s roots. The equestrian world meets the world of dance to give birth to a neo‑Parisian silhouette, refined and romantic. Outdoor wear uses visuals that mix town and nature, such as the Rocabar pattern reworked as a distortion of the horizon, an abstract landscape that can be found, for example, on cashmere mohair coats. MEN’S READY‑TO‑WEAR Véronique Nichanian, Artistic Director of the Men’s universe, redefines the boundaries of the families that make up the Hermès men's collections by playing with hybrids. The spring‑summer collection, full of freedom and relaxation, evokes a desire for the great outdoors. Meticulous innovation dialogues with heritage prints with blurred and perforated patterns transformed by contemporary techniques. Driven by a sense of paradox and the dynamic nature of contrasts, the fall‑winter collection creates unexpected contrasts. Obliterated or velvety, supple or crisp, the materials of these clothing‑objects shape a new philosophy of elegance, imbued with a soft eccentricity, amused nonchalance and a certain dandy spirit. Men’s Ready‑to‑wear thus affirms its stylistic signature collection after collection, twinning relaxation with sophistication. FASHION ACCESSORIES 1.6.2.3.1 Fashion jewellery Fashion jewellery continues to explore fantasy, colour, and bold combinations of materials and ways of wearing them in its collections. Leather finds a prominent place there, and is matched with aluminium and its bright range of colours on the Loop line. It appears perforated on bracelets and cuffs inspired by the Collier de chien . Lightweight and two‑tone, it becomes a link on a long necklace and a bracelet. Colour takes on a graduated appearance on enamel and lacquered wooden bracelets. Not to be forgotten, the clasp of the Kelly bag inspires two new mini or maxi cuffs. The men's universe is illuminated by a wide range of colours that bring a touch of wit to braided bracelets, necklaces, brooches or cuff links. 1.6.2.2 1.6.2.3
