Thierry Hermès (1801–1878) first established Hermès in 1837 as a harness workshop in Paris. In the 1880s the business moved to premises in the fashionable rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré where the company flagship store and Hermès Museum remain today. Over the following decades Hermès developed into a notable saddle maker. With the advent of motor cars and the subsequent demise of horse-drawn carriages, Hermès applied its leatherworking expertise to other leather products such as handbags, wallets and travelling cases. Since the 1930s, Hermès has produced a series of classic bag designs, such as the' Kelly' and 'Birkin'. Hermès handbags are made in France in Les Ateliers Hermès workshops, where each bag is crafted by a single artisan from start to finish. They are sewn with saddle-stitch, using two needles and a single length of thread.
