Hermes Herm & S New Leather Factory Slowly Expanded: Two Years

< p > > a > leather goods < /a > is undoubtedly the core product of Hermes, accounting for up to 44%, but in recent years it has been subject to capacity. In 2013, sales of Hermes leather and saddle Department increased by only 8.8% (constant exchange rate), much lower than that of garments and perfume 17.9% and 14.8%. Such a low growth rate is in sharp contrast to the situation that Birkin, Kelly and other classic leather bags are always in short supply. < /p >
"P" Hermes has always denied that this is the result of "hunger marketing", but emphasizes that the ability of leather manufacturing can not keep up with demand. < /p >

In 2012, Hermes set up two new leather workshops in France, Is, re and Charente in 2013 (officially put into production in 2013), adding more than 800 craftsmen to the original 15 leather goods factories (all in France) to a href= http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_x.asp > 17 /a. < /p >
< p > July 2013, Hermes announced that in the next 3 years, two leather workshops will be opened in the Franche-Comt leather area, the traditional leather production base in eastern France, and more than 600 craftsmen will be set up, which are located in the cities of H ricourt and Montb liard two. < /p >

< p > it is reported that Hermes has just chosen the address for the Montb leather liard new leather factory: Technoland II's Industrial Park, the opening time of the new factory will be far away in 2017! < /p >
< p > > a > another leather workshop located in H ricourt will not be completed until 2015 or even 2016. < /a > < /p >.
< p > the new factory is so slow. An important reason is that the number of qualified leather craftsmen is limited. They are mainly trained by a specialized school called Boudard in the Bethoncourt area next door. < /p >
