Hermès, founded by Thierry Hermès in 1837, produces Hermès sunglasses.
Thierry Hermès established the original business in Paris as a harness workshop serving the carriage trade. The company gradually expanded from equestrian leather goods into bags, scarves, clothing, watches, jewelry, and eyewear.
Hermès sunglasses reflect the house’s broader emphasis on materials, finishing, and restrained branding. They are produced under the Hermès name as part of the luxury group’s wider product range.
A frequent mix-up is treating Hermès as if it began as a fashion house. Its origins were in equestrian equipment and leather craftsmanship. Cartier, Bulgari, and Chopard are also luxury names associated with eyewear or jewelry, but none was founded by Thierry Hermès in 1837.
