Manufacture

Each Hermès store has the freedom to select their product offerings. As such, certain models/colours are not sold in every store.
 

Hermès offers different customization services such as simple marking of your initials on leather goods, the customized production of an existing bag or a custom creation. To find out more, please contact our in-store sales consultants.
 

Some of our items in precious materials (crocodile, alligator, lizard, etc.) cannot leave their country of purchase without a CITES certificate (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora). Upon request, the certificate will be provided by your Hermès store and may require a few weeks to be established. The CITES certificate is valid for a limited period. You may need to renew your request with your local authorities if you wish to travel once again with your item. We invite you to check with local authorities whether any exceptions may apply.
 

If you are unable to find the information you need on our website, please feel free to contact our in-store sales consultants.
 

The vast majority of Hermès products are crafted by us in France. All Hermès leather goods are handmade in France by 2,500 saddler-fine leather craftsmen in our manufactures. All of our silk items (ties and scarves in particular) are woven and printed in our manufactures in the Lyon region, the cradle of the silk trade. Hermès also draws on specific expertise, such as watchmaking in Switzerland, Mongolian cashmere, Vietnamese lacquer or Scottish wool.
