Hermès | Manufacto: Shaping One’s Life by Making Objects
  7:57

These classes of 14 and 15-year-olds in the Île-de-France region, at the Michelet professional high school in Saint-Ouen, and Staël high school in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, have neither maths nor French lessons today.

Benjamin, Emmanuelle and Diane, saddler-leatherworkers, have come to their classrooms to convey “the pleasure of doing and sharing”. By meeting these craftsmen, who share their passion with students as part of the Manufacto programme initiated by the Fondation d’Entreprise Hermès, a new lesson was learned: that you can make your life by making objects.

Welcome to the world of Hermès:
In 1837 Thierry Hermes opened his workshop making the finest quality harnesses and saddles in the heart of Paris.
Today Hermes is still a family company whose craftspeople make, often by hand and always with love , bags and belts, diaries and dishes, scarves and shoes, perfumes and purses, ties and travelling furniture, as well as gloves, hats, watches, jewellery and clothes.
