The French luxury good company, Hermes, has posted a number of podcasts on its website…

These podcasts are about the building and people at the heart of the Hermes story…it’s a luxury brand as a community of practice…and as a form of philosophy devolving from glamour, quality, wonder, adventure and, of course, desire…a kind of Debordian derive of luxurious delirium…the exquisite everyday.

The Hermes company was founded, in the 19C, as saddle and harness makers. After WW1, they began to diversify their production across a range of super quality leather products associated with the fashion lifestyle developments devolving from Paul Poiret and others. At the end of the 1930s, Hermes began to produce printed silk headscarves. I have quite a big collection of printed silk headscarves, and quite a few by Hermes.

I’ve posted before about Hermes, and about headscarves, most recently here
