Why is the Hermès logo a horse?
“The first client is the horse, the second is the rider,” declared Jean-Louis Dumas, the brand's inheritor. With the disappearance of the horse in daily life, Hermès chose to make allusion to its original intention: bridles, saddles, harnesses, and riding boots.
What does Hermès have to Do with horses?
Since 1837, the horse has been Hermès' first customer. Our equestrian equipment is designed in collaboration with our partner veterinarians and riders to offer comfort and freedom of movement to the horse in all circumstances.
Is Hermès equestrian?
Now best known for its wait-listed handbags like the Birkin and its silk scarfs, the company has been rooted in equestrian culture since its first product: an 1837 harness. As Marion Larochette, director of the equestrian métier for the brand said, “For almost a century the horse was the only client for Hermès.”
