J3L also masters other savoir‑faire , such as the lacquering of jewellery. 2022 was marked by a sharp increase in the J3L group’s production in order to match the growth of its customers and, in particular, that of the Hermès métiers . At the same time, and in line with the value strategy of these same métiers , many new products emerged, such as the Mors clasp for leather goods, the Take off belt buckles, the Twist line for fashion jewellery and the creation of an unprecedented clasp for R.M.S. luggage to accompany the dynamic outlook of the travel universe. The J3L development teams have also worked on innovative materials such as titanium or shiny DLC, which will serve as the basis for product creations in 2023. The J3L group, whose production quality has always been recognised as a benchmark, is also developing business with external customers. GROUP PARTNERSHIPS PERRIN & FILS

1.6.7.7 This service, which is available to customers in all Hermès stores, builds on the creative wealth of the House and the virtuosity of its craftspeople. PETIT H Petit h offers a unique design approach based on materials and objects no longer used by other Hermès métiers . These elements, grouped together in the same workshop, are made available to guest designers and the House’s craftspeople, who combine their talents and savoir‑faire to offer them a new life. This “reverse creation” gives rise to poetic, hybrid and joyful objects. In 2022, porcelain particularly aroused the creativity of artists, such as the exceptional coffee table made up of more than 3,000 porcelain and tile fragments, put together by hand, one by one, and skilfully crafted using the popular Picassiette mosaic style of art. Petit h shares its creations all year round in the Paris store on rue de Sèvres and on the e‑commerce platform. The métier also takes off around the world every year, for short, festive and upbeat visits. In 2022, petit h set off to meet its customers in Dubai and Bangkok. METAL PARTS (J3L) The J3L group specialises in the development, manufacture and sale of high‑end metal parts. It supports all of the House’s métiers , from the design phase to the production of finished parts. The most commonly manufactured items are clasps, belt buckles, carabiners, padlocks, bracelets, earrings, press studs and eyelets. They are intended to be positioned on handbags, wallets, shoes, belts or bracelets. The manufacture of metal parts requires different savoir‑faire . The machining or stamping of the material first make it possible to obtain raw parts. Polishing then gives them an exceptionally smooth surface, without streaks or scratches. The parts can then be covered with a thin layer of precious metal: white, yellow or rose gold, silver or palladium depending on the designer’s choice. Lastly, the complex 1.6.7.8 Fantasy, technicity and wonderment are an everyday feature in the Pantin and Faubourg Saint‑Honoré workshops, where exclusive stories of leather goods or interior design of vintage cars or yachts are written, but also, on occasion, of unexpected objects such as jukeboxes, bikes or paddle boards.
