French leathergoods brand Hermès is launching a new book, titled ‘Petit lexique des gestes Hermès’ – ‘A small lexicon of Hermès gestures’.

The 160-page book was written by the director of Paris-based fashion museum Musée Galliera, Olivier Saillard. It explains the secret vocabulary used in the French brand’s workshop as well as to descriptions of the techniques used by the skilled craftsmen to create the brand’s leathergoods.

The first edition will be published in French, with translated editions coming out soon after.
