Top BoF Professional Exclusives This Month
Dear Reader, Can the fashion industry learn from Hermès?
Insiders often see Hermès as an outlier: The brand can do things differently, it's sometimes said, simply because "it's Hermès." But the French luxury brand's singular approach is, in many ways, the source of its strength as much as it is the result of it.
This year, Hermès' stock price has soared, lifting the company's market capitalisation above $200 billion — more than that of Nike, the world's biggest fashion brand by revenue — for the first time.
This valuation was the latest endorsement by markets of the label's leather goods strategy, which through its unique product assortment, supply chain, communications and retail has powered Hermès' rise as a global leader in the core handbag category.
