Hermès takes leather exhibition to Japan

Hermès is taking its Leather Forever exhibition to Japan. Showing in Shanghai, Rome, London, Madrid, Taipei and Hong Kong, Hermès' retrospective retraces the house's history, starting with its founding in 1937 by the tanner Thierry Hermès.

At the time its high-quality equestrian equipment earned him success and were sought-after by high-level horsemen and women across the world.

With the Kellybag, the Birkin, and distinctive orange coloured leather goods, over the centuries Hermès' skilled craftsmen have cultivated their expertise handing it down from generation to generation.

Leather Forever sheds light on every step of their craft, from the leather cutters, to the tanners and finishers, in a celebration of fine equestrian legacy, that takes in the leather colour palette and the chance to see unique vintage pieces.
