Herm\u00e8s<\/a>. Renowned for their iconic scarves woven from the silk of mulberry moth cocoons, the company’s early years could not have been further from the luxury fashion brand we associate with it today.<\/p>\n

Starting life as a bridle and harness maker in 1837, Thierry Herm\u00e8s was notorious in the carriage trade, winning many awards for his work.
