Hermès creates extraordinary objects with artisanal value in virtually every fibre ? if you own something from the brand, chances are it will stay with you for a good long while. The French luxury house asserts that its creations ?develop a patina, become more beautiful over time, and allow themselves to be passed on and repaired.? Bold claims, no doubt, but the brand is only too happy to offer evidence, as you can discover for yourself at the “Hermès in the Making” at the Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza, from 1-9 October. Consider this an invitation to not only look at retail icons such as the Kelly bag, but to find out how they are made ? from the artisans themselves.
From what we gather, the idea is that you enter a space inspired by the maison?s own ateliers, where the artisans work much as they would in France, or Switzerland if watchmaking is your bag. Hermès has been remarkably steady in delivering its message of responsible whimsy, and the family-owned firm does a fair bit to support traditional crafts. Today, it is a giant in the world of luxury, but it has never strayed from its roots in old-fashioned (1837, to be precise) craftsmanship. In fact, Hermès claims that the secret to making enduring objects is to use artisanal know-how.
