Inspired each year by a new theme, the house’s sixteen métiers give free rein to their creativity, supported by exceptional artisanal know-how. They imagine objects that combine freedom with ingenuity and durability, designed to accompany changing lifestyles.  

Throughout its history, Hermès has pursued its vocation as a creator of objects. Research and innovation in the finest materials, along with passing on and updating exceptional know-how are what drives the artistic and creative directors, led by Pierre-Alexis Dumas. The Hermès métiers work in a climate of creative freedom, guided each year by a theme that nourishes the entire house. In 2025, the house explored the theme of “Drawn to craft”. 

For each collection, the vocabulary of shapes, the palette of colours and the combinations of materials are enriched and renewed according to the house’s values of creating beautiful, practical, contemporary yet timeless objects. The uncompromising standards applied to the quality of the materials and the rigour of the craftsmanship give rise to objects designed to last, to gain a patina and become more beautiful over time, allowing them to be passed on as the years go by. The fruit of the curiosity of creators and the exceptional know-how of artisans, the collections, from harnesses to accessories for the automobile revolution, from the golfer’s watch-belt to the Apple Watch Hermès, achieve the house’s goal, namely to accompany customers in their everyday lives across a diverse range of activities.
