MESSAGEFROM THE CHAIRMEN
VIBRANT, CHEERFUL AND LIGHT OF HEART
Our Parisian home at 24, faubourg Saint-Honor is builton solid ground. Those who choose to look up from
the pavement will see, on the roof, a little pocket of garden,
bounded by a balustrade. Visible at the corner ofthe building, as the figurehead of this motionless ship,is a statue of a horse, and, mounted upon it, a young mansporting a hat adorned with a tricoloured cockade.In each hand he bears aloft a silk scarf, multi-coloured this
time, fluttering in the breeze. These are of courseHerms scarves, and this young man our standard-bearer,his attitude vibrant, cheerful and light of heart.
In 2014, we at Herms also felt vibrant, cheerful and lightof heart the past year once again rewarding us withexcellent results. Let us not deny ourselves the pleasureof enjoying them.
While we may favour a light touch in our creations, weattach great importance to the robustness of our financesand our results. Much like vitamins for the body, goodresults fortify the business, and a healthy future requiresa solid constitution.
Amongst the signs of Herms buoyant state of health werethe excellent results achieved in Asia and the United Statesdespite an uncertain context. The house also continuedits strong international development at the deliberate tempoof what a musician would describe as allegro ma non troppo.
Leather goods and saddlery, clothing and accessories,and silk and textiles all received the renewed appreciationof our customers, who proved to be more delightful
than ever. This translated into an excellent performance interms of production, and herein lies perhaps one of ourkeenest pleasures: that of creating numerous manufacturingjobs every year in France and perpetuating our craftsmanship.

SIXGENERATIONS
OF CRAFTSMEN
Today, Herms employs 11,718 people worldwideand has 311 exclusive stores, 207 of which are directly
operated. Although it has achieved international stature,Herms has never lost its human touch and continuesits tradition of fine craftmanship.
Thierry Herms, a harness-maker, set up businessin Paris in 1837. Ever since, his descendants have worked
together to develop the Herms Group. In 1880, his sontransferred the family business to its now-famous address,24 Faubourg Saint-Honor, where he expanded intosaddlery. Soon, he was supplying saddles and harnesses to
the stables of aristocrats all over the world.
In 1918, with the advent of the automobile, the foundersgrandson, mile Herms, foresaw the coming changes intransportation and envisioned new lifestyles. He launcheda line of fine leather saddlestitched goods and luggage.The Herms style was born, and its field of activity hasnever ceased to grow. mile Herms also accumulateda private collection of paintings, books and articles thatwere to be a source of inspiration for designers. During
the 1950s, mile Herms sons-in-law, Robert Dumas andJean-Ren Guerrand, continued to diversify operationswhilst safeguarding the brands integrity, creating clothing,jewellery, watches, diaries, silk scarves.
From 1978 and aided by other fifth- and sixth-generationmembers of the family, Jean-Louis Dumas brought renewed
impetus to Herms by expanding into new mtiersand establishing a global network of Herms stores.
Twenty-eight years later, in 2006, he handed the reinsto Patrick Thomas and the company mile Herms SARL,appointed Executive Chairmen, while the artisticdirectorship was entrusted to Pierre-Alexis Dumas inFebruary 2009. Axel Dumas, member of the sixthgeneration of the Herms family, was named ExecutiveChairman in 2013 alongside Patrick Thomas, who, once
the transition was complete, decided to leave his postof Executive Chairman in January 2014.
Today, Herms applies its creativity to a wide rangeof sectors: leather goods and saddlery, mens and womensready-to-wear, footwear, belts, gloves, hats, silks and

GENERALTREND
STRONG SALESAND EARNINGS GROWTH

exchange rates. Operating income was 1,299M(31.5% of sales), up 7%. Net profitability amounted to 21%of sales, as in 2013.
SALES
BY REGION AND MTIER(at constant exchange rates unless otherwise indicated)
The strong growth in sales generated by the groups own
stores in 2014 (+12.7%) results from solid progress inall regions. Herms continued the qualitative developmentof its distribution network with the opening of Chinas firstHerms Maison in Shanghai in September and the opening,renovation or extension of over fifteen outlets.
All regions posted strong growth rates
America (+15%) confirmed its development dynamic. In theUnited States, the Atlanta store was extended, and in Brazil
the group took over the So Paulo concession. Japan (+13%)
achieved an excellent year, confirming the positive trendobserved in the first nine months. Non-Japan Asia (+13%)posted a good performance in a context marked by recentevents in Hong Kong and the general slowdown in Chinasmarket. Europe (+7%) continued to progress in a difficultfinancial climate.
All sectors have recorded growth,with the exception of Watches

LEATHER GOODS-SADDLERY
Leather Goods-Saddlery, the original mtier of Herms,encompasses bags for men and women, clutches,briefcases, luggage, small leather goods, diaries andwriting objects, saddles, bridles and a full range of equestrianproducts and clothing.In 2014, its activity represented 45% of the groups sales,with a turnover of 1,842 million, an increase of 15%at constant exchange rates.
Saddlery and leather goods articles are born ofan alchemy of authentic materials, selected according
to rigorous standards, and the skilled hands of the saddler-leatherworkers, who apply traditional know-how passeddown from generation to generation. The daily, patient
dialogue with raw leather that the artisans bend to theirwill and fashion into shape endows these objects with theextra measure of soul that makes them exceptional.
Today, production is ensured by over 2,500 saddler-leatherworkers spread over fourteen manufactures locatedin Paris, Pantin and various regions across France. In
the face of ever-increasing demand, Herms recruitedover 230 artisans in 2014 and completed the constructionof two production sites in Charente and Isre, whilst alsopursuing plans to establish two new manufacturesin Franche-Comt. At the same time, the house perpetuated
its historic know-how of harness-maker and saddler,ensuring its craftsmen perfect their technique onan ongoing basis, particularly through its training andprofessional qualification programmes.
Underpinned by creativity in a state of perpetual renewal,the collections of bags and luggage, small leather goods andequestrian products again met with great success in 2014.
In leather goods, many models confirmed their status askey sellers, from the Lindyto theJypsire, the Toolboxto
theConstance, the Bolideto the So Kelly, theDouble Sensto theVictoria, the Plumeto the Picotin not to mentiontheKellyand theBirkin, which continue to be reinventedin different colours and leathers.
Finally, a wealth of new items arrived throughout the year,bringing plenty of surprises and firing the imagination.
BAGSAND LUGGAGE
Leather goods responded to the 2014 theme,Metamorphosis, an Herms Story, by creating newmodels of versatile bags, equipped with originalfolding and zip systems.
The Oxerbag, for example, its sides echoing the curves ofsaddle flaps, can be carried in three different ways thanks
to its ingenious folds. Halzan, a bag with an equestriancharacter and simple lines can also be transformed to suitevery whim with five possible carrying options. ThePasse-Passemessenger and shopping bags bring to mindbag and luggage covers, whose size can be changed inan instant. As for the canvas and leatherAlleretour Messenger,part messenger bag, part satchel, it makes a modern,laid-back companion for the adventurous city-dweller.
The mtier also produced detailed and contemporaryreinterpretations of several emblematic Herms bags.
TheBolide Paddock bag has a surprising graphic aspect,with its streamlined shape consisting of a raw-edged leathershell paired with H Tech canvas to make it supple andlight. The Plumecollection was enhanced by a modelin printed or entirely hand-embroidered Toile H canvas.Practical and user-friendly with its removable strap,
the Steve Meetingbriefcase is a bag with an urbanlook for the busy man. Finally, the trivireline ofmessenger bags and briefcases welcomed a new mens
folder in a lengthened format: thetrivire Folder.The evening bag collection saw the addition of a newline, the Collection Prcieuse, which draws on the mostexceptional know-how and materials. Several piecesfeaturing lizard and crocodile skin designed for petit soirand grand soir evening events were also created,as well as a highly sophisticated, ultra-feminine bag,
the Poudrierwith the pure facetted lines of a diamond.

Since the 1930s, Herms has been offering its customersdiaries, notebooks and briefcases as loyal companions.
In September 2014 the story continued with the launchof new product family writing objects adapted to todayspractices, and reliable and easy to use in all circumstances.
The new lines key piece is the Nautilusballpoint orfountain pen, created in collaboration with designerMarc Newson and equipped with a solid aluminium andstainless steel body, a retractable tip and a rotating soft-close mechanism. It is complemented by a Box calfskincase and a Box calfskin-sheathed steel cartridge holder.
A large number of accessories enrich the collectionalongside Ulyssediaries and notebooks, including the Box

Thus Herms offers its contemporary vision of writing,demonstrating a fresh, creative, innovative perspective
that embraces both functionality and poetry.
The mtieralso continued to develop its collectionsof small leather goods, to ensure products are adapted
to the way customers want to use them. Inspiredby the Convoyeur bag with its characteristic clasp, the
Mini-Convoyeuris the answer to travelling light

their ingenious system of inner pockets accommodatingevery size of mobile phone. For men, the Manhattanwalletsand card holders combine various leathers placed edge
to edge, slipping easily into a jacket or trouser pocket, whilethe flat Tohu-Bohupencil cases, in lambskin and availablein various formats, can be carried in a bag.
EQUESTRIANThe major event of the Equestrian year was that Hermsbecame the official partner of the United States EquestrianFederation (USEF), since the World Equestrian Games in2014, equipping both horses and riders in eight disciplines.
This new partnership with one of the top internationalteams confirms the quality, technicity and elegance of thecollection, adopted by the US teams for all competitiveevents entered by nation, such as the World Cup and
the Nations Cup.
Staying true to its value of supporting young talent andcommitment for the long term, Herms initiated newpartnerships with talented young hopefuls in the equestrianworld. The following partner riders all joined the Herms
team in 2014: Lillie Keenan from the United States(age 18, double gold medallist at the US Young Rider
Championships); Laetitia du Coudic from Switzerland(age 18, individual gold medallist at the 2013 JuniorEuropean Championships); Laura Klein from France(age 13, twice French pony champion); and VictorLevecque, also from France (age 16, individual and teamEventing gold medallist at the European Championshipsfor Ponies, CCE 2014).

The Ready-to-Wear and Fashion Accessories mtier isthe Herms groups second largest sector, with 23% ofconsolidated sales. In 2014, it generated 934 millionin sales, a rise of 12% at constant exchange rates.
WOMENSREADY-TO-WEAR
Following four years of fruitful collaboration, Hermsand Christophe Lemaire decided to part ways after thepresentation of the 2015 spring-summer collection,as the artistic director wished to focus fully on his ownbrand. Over his four year tenure, Christophe Lemaire madean elegant contribution to defining the style of womens
ready-to-wear and skilfully highlighted the superior materialsand expertise involved. Under his artistic direction, themtier adopted a renewed aesthetic and recorded highlysatisfactory sales results. For the two 2014 collections,Christophe Lemaire continued to provide a wardrobeof loose, fluid pieces.
The spring-summer collection proposed a discreetlyelegant, romantic silhouette, the colours drawn froma plant-inspired palette of deep tones lifted with vivid
touches. Beautifully supple leathers were worked inshades of chlorophyll, and the collection included many
prints floral or symbolic theNnuphars motif finding itscounterpart in the Quadrige design embroidered on silk.
The autumn-winter collection continued to celebratematerials and colour harmonies, alternating trouser suitsinspired by menswear with intensely feminine drapeddresses. Leather, worked to become a second skin, was
transformed into sleeveless dresses of moir calfskin withblue-toned reflections, or ultra-supple liquorice blackdeerskin. A sleeveless coat in soft ecru sheepskin revealeda silk back printed with the Selle dapparat marocaine motif.

MENSREADY-TO-WEAR
The year 2014 marked Vronique Nichanians 25thanniversary at the head of mens collections. Season afterseason she casts a fresh eye over menswear, playing on thedirection of lines, a taste for detail, a mix of materials and
the concept of the clothing object.
Continuing in this vein, the summer collection marriedgrey tones with intense, calming colours blue, sienna andemerald to create a relaxed, carefree look full of supplemovement. The theme of the year was revealed throughmultiple trompe lil effects, such as the perforationson a peacoat, an illusive Cheval ombr design ona sweatshirt or shirt, and the lambskin/nubuck dgradon a leather jacket. Light, natural or technical materials gavea bohemian feel to the collection, illustrated by shirts withremovable scarf collars, short-sleeved shell tops, beltedoveralls and tie print jackets and trousers.
In contrast, the winter collection revelled in a palette ofdark tones, worn together or contrasted with deep red orice blue. They graced suits with elemental lines, generouslyproportioned overcoats and parkas, joggers in lambskinand knitwear with a spider motif or vanishing cable knits.Metamorphosis was concealed in the effects created by thematerials, such as combinations of matt and shiny textures,
the transformation of a fabric into phantom leatheror trompe loeil Jockeypanels. A synergy of expertise andinnovation created an element of surprise crocodile skinon a down jacket made an unexpected pairing, or woolratine on coats.
Through these two anniversary collections, VroniqueNichanian pursued her vision of a contemporary menswearwith passion and enthusiasm.

ACCESSORIESThe Accessories department comprises jewellery in leather,enamel, metal, horn and wood, mens jewellery, and belts,gloves and hats.
JEWELLERYACCESSORIES
To illustrate the theme of metamorphosis, jewelleryaccessories embraced a wealth of innovations and effectsproduced by different materials. Specialist skills wereexplored for leather bracelets, such as waterjet cutting togive leather the form of the Chane dancre link in a light,summery reworking. Paired with a palladium-plated buckleon a Javabracelet, it encircles the wrist like a stirrup leather.
The mens collection also gave pride of place to metal, andintroduced the Tournis tress, a woven leather variation of
the Tournis bracelet.
Wood bracelets were decorated either with Ikat lacquer,skilfully polished to allow the depth of jet black to show
through the luminous radiance of white lacquer, or pairedwith horn and covered with gold leaf for a precious gleam.
Pattern, colour, and style of wear were variously expressed inprinted enamel, with the Della Cavalleria,Voyages en toffes,Perspective cavalireand Concours dtriers designsbrought to life in precious metals and woods in hues of gilt,
gold, and bronze. Laser engraved, the enamel on theCircuit 24 Faubourg bracelet describes a Chane dancrelink reworked in a graphic play on matt and shiny finishes.
GLOVESNew models designed to suit every purpose andseason whether city wear, driving or cold weather enhanced the glove collection, showcasing the housesmaterials and know-how.
Womens long and mid-length gloves combined glazedlambskin and warm materials, such as bouclette, mink,orylag, nubuck and goatskin.
The mens models in leather or cashmere featured ingeniousclasps borrowed from other mtiers, such as the press stud of
theUlyssenotebook and the saddle nail cuff link.
HATSThe hat collections capitalised on materials and prints to offer
a wide range of models with an emphasis on easy daily wear.The summer models in woven paper or straw were trimmedwith a plain or printed silk band. Lightweight hats featuredMythique Phnixor Folkloredesigns in part or in whole.Mens flat caps and baseball caps adopted colours to match
the ready-to-wear ranges.
For ultimate softness in winter, the cloche-shaped felt hattook on an array of hues from red to blue to green, whilemink or raccoon fur provided insulation for leather orgabardine shapkas and toques. Also for men were cashmereand zibeline knitted hats coordinated with masculine silk
and a new merino shapka.

BELTSIn 2014, inspiration for the belt was provided by the HermsConservatory of Creations, where every model createdby the house for each collection is stored. Thus the Icnebelt, inspired by the Ringbag created in 1958, made acomeback in an exceptional new version, with lizard orcrocodile paired with Box calfskin, the buckle unchanged inappearance but with perfected functionality. Similarly, thePiano belt is a re-edition of a 1954 model with a retro look,
the three metal features concealing an ingenious clasp.The more masculineInitialebelt kit with its H set horizontallyis reversible so can be worn in two ways. And for winter, thebuckle of the slim Jamesbelt subtly expresses its identity.
SHOES
A year of metamorphoses saw form, material and typeintersect giving rise to new styles. Under the impetusof creative director Pierre Hardy, classic models werereinvented, materials brought into harmony and motifspassed from one universe to another.
The womens autumn-winter collection featured nodsto other Herms mtiers: the design of the Brides de galasilk scarf was printed on the leather of the Joanboot, theKellyclasp added a feminine touch to theJules moccasinand highlighted the ankle of Joueuse, a riding boot
transformed into a heeled boot. Opposites merged in
the JoeyandJeepmodels, which are both masculineand feminine, urban and country-style.
For summer, an elongatedChane dancre on theIcneand Infini models became a jewel resting on the foot,in permabrass for the day and rhinestone for the evening.TheInstant andImage sandals draped the foot in the supple,light materials of suede goatskin and nappa calfskin. Andin an extrapolation of form, theImpulsionmodel turned
the essential ghillie shoe into a superghillie.
The mens autumn-winter collection also played withestablished icons, bringing the city into the sporting world
with theJacksontrainer sole in orange rubber, or givingmore urban models like theJoey derby a sportier look witha new ridged rubber sole. For summer, there was a newrubber sole for the classic perforatedIngnieuxbrogue,and the Itacasandals two-tone rope sole became itsoutstanding feature. Last but not least, a fugitive from
the world of jewellery, the Mini-Dogbuckle, found a homeon the Irvingmoccasin.

SILKAND TEXTILES
Silk and Textiles is Herms third largest sector andaccounts for 12% of sales. In 2014, sales of scarves and ties
totalled 482 million, up 8% at constant exchange rates.
WOMENSSILK
In 2014, womens silk mined the rich seam of expressionprovided by the theme of metamorphosis. The Faunelettre silk scarf features an animal alphabet with a uniquecast of creatures: horse, bear and fennec, shrimp andsquirrel deep in conversation each yields its form to thegame, striking a pose with poetry and extravagance. The
Zebra Pegasussilk scarf gave a fantastical twist to the mythof the winged horse, taking it on a journey to southernAfrica. The mythological beast wears the striped coat ofits cousin, the zebra, and its wings borrow the shimmeringhues of a parrots plumage. A new flag-like graphic identitywas devised for the masqu silk scarfs, with thetriersandCouvertures et tenues de jour designs half-concealedbeneath a bright block of solid colour.
2014 also prompted an encounter between two icons: theHerms silk twill scarf and the bandana worn by the cowgirlsof the great American West. The collection of silk bandanas
creates a new illustrative universe, where original artisticprinciples govern the treatment of design and colour. The55 cm silk scarves (the original bandana size) reinterpreted
two great classics Ex-libris and Peuple du vent as wellas two new Far West-inspired designs: Herms Ranch andLes Canyons toils. The Peuple du ventdesign was alsoprinted in giant size on 140 140 cm silk twill.
Large scarves continued to enrich the collections. Buildingon its success, the range of giant silk squares in plume twillin particular was enhanced for the autumn-winter season.It now comprises four designs, including an original one,
Tapis persans.
MENSSILK
The heavy silk twill tie offered a poetic and quirky takeon the details of contemporary life. The narrow end ofListen to the music, for example, reveals the secretof the ties polka-dot motif, which is actually made up ofhundreds of tiny earphones.
The dip tie, a newcomer, also played the transformationcard, its monochrome design dissolving into a dip dyeeffect, for a visible-invisible look.
In another nod to the brands identity, the new Faubourg(spring-summer collection) and Madison (autumn-wintercollection) ties feature a mischievous groom on their narrowend, telling the story of the city in colours, with fireman redand midnight blue for Paris, and milkshake pink, Broadwayred and pumpkin orange for New York.
The Follow You scarf was endowed with two distinct sides,one in silk printed with theAnneaux de brides design,
the other plain and studded with polka dots. Modern yettimeless, this new, generously sized scarf can be wornin multiple ways.
Finally, the scarf family welcomed a new member in the formof Naoshima, woven in Japan and remarkable for its light,fine and soft quality.

OTHERHERMS MTIERS
Other Herms Mtierscovers Jewellery, the Art of Livingand La Table Herms. In 2014, they achieved sales of281 million, representing a 15% rise at constant exchangerates and accounting for 7% of the groups total turnover.
JEWELLERYThe year was marked by the launch of a new collectionof haute bijouterie; the third chapter in a story thatbegan in 2010.
In the first two chapters, Pierre Hardy, director ofjewellery collections, tapped into Herms roots, initiallydrawing inspiration from horse riding, for theFouetand Centaure collections, then leather goods for the
Sac-Bijoux collection.This new chapter introduced three exceptional sets ofjewellery designed by Pierre Hardy and inspired by theequestrian world and the composition of the silk scarves.Brides de galareinterprets the functionality of harnesses ina sophisticated, endlessly versatile, articulated piece, itselements based on throatlatch, bit and bridle a harmonyof leather, rose gold, diamonds and orange, blue andyellow sapphires. Della Cavalleria, a geometric compositioncharacterised by pure lines, pairs a bracelet and bib necklaceof fluid and supple woven yellow gold, with earrings anda headpiece adorned with grey pearls. Last but not least,a sense of airy volume and the use of white gold enhancedwith diamonds, and pink, blue, and green sapphires, giveGrand Apparat a dreamlike appearance. The pieces werepresented at an exhibition staged by Lela Menchari at
the Faubourg Saint-Honor store last September.
2014 also saw the arrival of the SanglesHermsline,which honours the houses harness-making origins and itsjewellery know-how in chain-making. A utilitarian objectpar excellence, the bridle is transformed into yellow goldstraps whose chains, assembled then adjusted by hand,form a gold, fabric-like mesh of astonishing supplenessand fluidity. The rings and the clasp, inspired by harnessbuckles, are entirely diamond-set.
Meanwhile, theGalopHermscollection, launched insilver in the spring of 2013, donned a rose and white goldapparel. The emblematic Herms horse lends the strong,clean lines of its profile to sculptural pieces, accented withdiamonds or entirely diamond-paved. The collection wascomplemented by two new models, imbued with finesse:a ring and bracelet, both adorned with a diamond.

ART OF LIVINGHerms Art of Living endeavours to provide our everydayliving spaces with an extra touch of soul through numerousunique creations including furniture and lighting, furnishingfabrics and wallpapers, decorative objects and tableware.Born of exceptional know-how combining superiorcraftsmanship and innovative techniques, these piecesreconcile exacting standards on questions of form, intelligentfunctionality, the finest materials and high quality productionmethods to express their magic to its fullest effect.
In 2014, Art of Living took its first exploratory steps intothe realm of lighting with two collections, Pantographeand Harnais, created by Italian architect-designerMichele De Lucchi, and a portable, modular lamp, theLanterne dHerms, conceived by French visual artistYann Kersal. These two understated lighting lines, useful,ingenious and equipped with LED technology, embody
the Herms vision of light in the home.
The success of existing furniture collections provided themomentum for continuing and highly creative developmentin this area. Following the successful launch ofLes Ncessaires dHerms, a collection of valet pieces andoccasional seating, the mtier confirmed its desire to put theenchantment back into daily life with the Curiosits dHerms,unexpected creations inspired by the charming disorderof the curiosity cabinets of days gone by. The Club Bar, theCoffre chaussuresand the Dressoir thsreflect an artof living associated with the pleasure of inviting and sharing.
During the year, Herms also reproduced three pieces inwrought iron and bridle leather, with the support of the Frankfamily and the Jean-Michel Frank Committee. Banquette,armchair or console, furniture becomes sculptural, combiningsimplicity with the demands of fine craftsmanship.
The collections of objects and fabrics for the home madea strong contribution to the dynamism of Art of Living.Woven, embroidered, engraved or carved, noble materialswere transformed into exceptional pieces, including wovenlambskin throws lined with tartan-patterned cashmere, rugs
embroidered with motifs inspired by the silk scarves such asBrazil, hand-cut obsidian paperweights, and decorative boxesfor watches or jewellery in solid hard-carved palisander.
Fabrics and wallpapers, which reinforce and differentiatethe stylistic identity of Herms home universe, sawincreased sales. The 2014 collection drew inspiration from
the tea road theme, giving rise to fabrics with highlynarrative motifs, such as Les Arbres du jardin dosierand
Arbre de vieimpression chane, which evoke the beautyof nature and the garden, and Chevaux dapparat, whichsuggests a more nomadic art of living.

FRAGRANCES
2014 was a year abundant in creation and innovation. Salesof Fragrances continued their dynamic upward trend witha rise of 10% at constant exchange rates, to 231 million.The year also marked a turning point: echoing Herms Artof Living, the mtier pushed its boundaries and enhanced itsmission, which developed from the art of wearing fragrance
to the art of experiencing fragrance.
Two previously unexplored fields of expression representedthe initial milestones of this new approach.
With Le Bain dHerms, launched during the first semester,the Garden-Fragrances and Colognes became part ofthe bathtime ritual in the form of new soaps, gels, milksand balms with colourful and festive notes.
In the second semester, Le Parfum de la Maisonopened thedoors to a new olfactory and sensory space. This collectioncomprises five fragrances named Reveriesby their creator,
the perfumer Cline Ellena. They find expression in threefamilies of scented objects, static or mobile, and take theart of experiencing fragrance into every room of the house.
Three major launches also fed a growth in activity forFragrances. Fostering the uniqueness of its approach,a twelfth creation Cuir dAnge was added to theHermessencecollection. For this supremely delicate scent,a tribute to working and transforming leather, Jean-Claude
Ellena was inspired by the work of writer Jean Giono, whodescribes the workshop of his father, a cobbler, in his novelJean le Bleu:I remember my fathers workshop [ ] makingshoes in angel leather for some god with a thousand feet
Terre dHermscontinued its two-figure growth, takinga further step forwards with the launch of Terre dHermsEau trs frache. This olfactory initiative produced a scentwith a strong, impertinent freshness that built on the successof the line and raised it to a leading position among mensfragrances in France.
TheJour dHermsfragrance for women, epitomising
fine French perfumery, was enriched by a new dimensionin the form ofJour dHerms Absolu. This voluptuousreworking on a floral theme was very well received.
Finally, 2014 saw creator-perfumer Christine Nageltake charge of developing new projects, alongsideJean-Claude Ellena, who continues in his mission to createand assert Herms olfactory style.

WATCHMAKINGIn 2014, watchmaking achieved a turnover of148 million, a decrease of 11% at constant exchangerates, in a difficult environment.
2014 brought a wealth of new models, and the Januarylaunch of the Faubourgwatch for women was the years firstlandmark event. An ode to simplicity, this small
timepiece has all the charm and presence of a preciousminiature. Its round, ultra-slim case with a diameterreduced to 15.5 mm houses a white lacquered dial adornedwith a discreet diamond at 12 oclock. It is availablein gold only, whether rose, white or yellow, with or withoutdiamonds, and combined with a gold bracelet or satinor leather strap.
Baselworld provided the occasion to unveil
Dressage Lheuremasque, its new mechanical complicationshowing another facet of Time to Dream.The hour hand, hidden beneath the minute hand, appearsonly at the press of a push-button integrated into
the crown, and the second time zone plays the same gameof hide-and-seek in its aperture. Developed entirelywith Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, this watch reinforcesHerms position when it comes to the creation of originalproducts with unusual complications.
Finally, an unprecedented innovation in watchmakingwas provided by theArceau Millefiori collection in the form
of crystal dials made by Les Cristalleries de Saint-Louisusing the same technique as for millefiori paperweights.Two uniqueArceau Pocketmodels with engravedcrystal covers completed the collection in all its radiant
transparency.

OTHER PRODUCTSAND BRANDS
LES CRISTALLERIESDE SAINT-LOUIS
In 2014, Les Cristalleries de Saint-Louis continuedto highlight the quality of their craftsmanship. The beginningof the year was devoted to decoration. The trio of Diamanticvases, created by Benot-Pierre Emery, paid tribute to theskill of artisan cutters in an infinitely precise diamond-cutdecoration inspired by the compass work of glassmakers.The Botticelliline, with its millefiori-inlaid floral decoration,was enhanced by a vase, a pair of candlesticks and a votive.
In tableware, the Oxymorecollection was also expanded.Created by the Hot and Cold workshops working insymbiosis, this line, with geometric shapes reminiscentof Art Deco, was supplemented by a bar and decanterservice. In addition, the use of colour, a defining Saint-Louissignature and hitherto reserved exclusively for hocks, wasextended to a second glass.
Saint-Louis continued expanding its ranges of lightingobjects. Godefroy de Virieu and Stefania Di Petrillo pursued
their modern narrative, based on a play on the bowl of the
Apolloglass, with a delicate votive inspired by a liqueur glass.Fitted with an LED system, this votive is available in threecolours: clear crystal, chartreuse and amethyst. Meanwhile,Florence Bourels Plein Pharecollection adopted a playfulapproach, distorting an ice bucket to create a table lampwith an entirely bevel-cut surface.
As every year, the spherical paperweights, introduced bySaint-Louis in the mid-19th century, took on new forms increations born of the imagination and dexterity of specialistmaster glassmakers. Limited editions produced in 2014included a sumptuous sulphide paperweight featuring
a horse medallion, a hypnotic mandala and two speedwellflowers seemingly suspended in equilibrium in the crystal.Saint-Louis also invited the artist couple Perrin & Perrin
to create three pieces of art: Rift, Mesaand Lapilli.
The paperweight collections were the subject of a touringexhibition presented in Asia, from Japan to Korea and China,
then the United States.
Finally, 2014 was marked by the renovation of theRue Royale store in Paris, and the opening of a secondMaison Saint-Louis in Hong Kongs Causeway Bay district.
