Hermès International S.A., or simply Hermès, is a French high fashion luxury goods manufacturer established in 1837. It specializes in leather, lifestyle accessories, home furnishings, perfumery, jewellery, watches and ready-to-wear. Its logo, since the 1950s, is of a “Duc” carriage with horse.

The Hermès logo takes its inspiration directly from a painting by Alfred de Dreux that was titled “Le Duc Attele, Groom a L’Attente”. In English, that title means “Hitched Carriage, Waiting Groom”. It was chosen because the image referenced Hermès’ origins as a harness maker in the 1800s. Moreover, the image also contains a combination of a horse and a finely clothed groom, so it alludes to Hermès’ expansion to creating fine clothing and leather accessories in addition to equestrian gear.
