Riassunto

"A chanson de gestes" : such was the definition of Hermès proffered by a visitor being taken around the workshops one day. It is certainly a good description, for those who see the house "from within", of the humming, mysteriously busy hive that is the reality behind the famous signature. It is a "land of the hand", a country whose extent and variety of activity few could imagine. An incessant ballet of nimble fingers deftly working materials they master from start to finish.

«A chanson de gestes»: such was the definition of

Hermès proffered by a visitor being taken around the workshops one day. It is certainly a good

description, for those who see the house "from within", of the humming, mysteriously busy hive

that is the reality behind the famous signature.

It is a "land of the hand", a country whose extent and variety of activity few could imagine. An

incessant ballet of nimble fingers deftly working materials they master from start to finish.
