A delightfully illustrated miscellany of stories from the world of Hermès
Author Luc Charbin brings to life the voices of the saddlers, sales assistants, window-dressers, silversmiths, and gardeners of Hermès across several generations, accompanied by the distinctive drawings of Alice Charbin.
A leather-clad wheelbarrow to store the Duchess of Windsor's many gloves, a capricious apple tree, an extraordinary museum, an iconic bag, and a 40-year-old diary in the spotlight-these are among the characters and objects that tell the story of Hermès: Straight from the Horse's Mouth.
Luc Charbin studied history, linguistics, and semiology before beginning a career in publishing. He later specialized in genealogy and the writing of family histories, developing a passion for uncovering the stories that shape people, institutions, and cultural legacies. In Hermès: Straight from the Horse's Mouth, Charbin draws on the archives of the renowned French luxury house to illuminate the people, traditions, and moments behind nearly two centuries of craftsmanship and innovation.
Alice Charbin is an illustrator and author whose distinctive work combines elegance, wit, and imaginative storytelling. After studying illustration in London, she built an international career creating books and visual projects for readers of all ages. Her longstanding relationship with Hermès includes creating artwork for the brand's website and authoring Hermès: Heavenly Days. Her charming illustrations for Hermès: Straight from the Horse's Mouth beautifully complement the book's stories, bringing the house's heritage, creativity, and craftsmanship to life.
