Hermès workshops and demonstrations of legendary craftsmanship coming to Chicago
Since 1837, when Hermès debuted in Paris as a maker of harnesses and saddles, six generations of enterprising artisans have continued to extend their range and skill. Steeped in respect for the past and enthusiasm for the future, they have perpetuated the cult of quality materials crafted with excellence, the love of beautiful objects made to last.
Starting on March 11 at 25 Oak Street in Chicago, the Festival will present week-long demonstrations by the masterful craftsmen and women from the renowned Hermès workshops in France.
Open to the public, guests will discover the poetic and visionary techniques of the Hermès craft, and the magic of the savoir-faire behind the handbags, scarves, jewelry and other iconic objects from the house of Hermès. Guests will also have the opportunity to meet the Hermès artisans at their workbenches, and experience at first-hand his or her highly-skilled trade such as leather making, silk engraving, jewelry making and many more talents.
