Luxury is that which can be repaired | Hermès Footsteps Across The World

Pushing open the door of one of Hermès’ fifteen repair workshops around the world is like entering a magicians’ den, where the passage of time is made to disappear. In Hong Kong, on the 22nd floor of a tower in the Admiralty district where they have laid out their tools, Christelle, Farid and Alexandre save their best tricks for objects that have a past. Unseen and unnoticed, these experienced artisans, trained in French leather goods workshops, make a well-loved bag look new again, by changing a handle, retouching an area of color or using the saddle stitch. Restoring, repairing, it’s what their “metier” is all about. #HermesFootsteps Discover our values and our relationship with sustainable development on our website: https://h.fr/FootstepsacrosstheworldMovies Watch the entire Hermès Footsteps across the world documentary series:  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD1G-Fq3N1R--zXe1mtEQZpbm7okjuzvO&si=qXj7Uq_Ise2DdDK9 *** Welcome to the world of Hermès: In 1837 Thierry Hermes opened his workshop making the finest quality harnesses and saddles in the heart of Paris.
