Thierry Hermès empezó su legado en un almacén de arneses y sillas de montar, transformando su apellido en una de las firmas de lujo más prestigiosas de la historia de la moda: Hermès. De hecho el logotipo de la firma parisina es un pequeño carruaje halado por un caballo, quizá un símbolo poco representativo de una casa creadora de artículos para la pasarela, pero sin duda una estampa que recuerda el origen de la misma. Esta exclusiva marca francesa, famosa principalmente por sus artículos de piel, con sus míticos bolsos Kelly y Birkin, y por sus corbatas y pañuelos de seda, es una de las más importantes y reconocidas del mundo.
El legendario bolso Birkin de la prestigiosa firma es un verdadero mito de la moda contemporánea. Esta firma francesa, fundada hace 165 años, sigue dando mucho de qué hablar y en gran parte se debe a su modelo estrella: el Birkin .
La historia de este bolso es muy curiosa: cuentan que un día la actriz y cantante británica Jane Birkin, viajaba casualmente al lado de Jean-Louis Dumas (presidente de la compañía) a quien le llamó mucho la atención que la actriz tuviera por cartera de viaje una gran cesta de paja. Por simple curiosidad le preguntó a la actriz por qué usaba ese tipo de bolso y ella respondió que todavía no había conseguido una cartera ideal para viajar, porque los modelos disponibles no se adaptaban a sus necesidades, muchas eran difíciles de abrir y cerrar y otras muy incómodas. Dumas, atento comerciante, invitó a Birkin a que diseñaran juntos un bolso a su gusto. De ahí nació el famoso modelo.
