Our Story

About Us

Twenty years of auction house expertise meets master Hermès craftsmanship. We recreate the unobtainable for collectors who understand true quality.

Our Foundation

Where Expertise Meets Craft

Our founder spent two decades working at Sotheby's and Christie's auction houses in Hong Kong and Singapore, specializing in luxury handbags and leather goods. This rare position provided unparalleled access to the world's most exceptional Hermès pieces—including limited editions, special orders, and vintage treasures that rarely surface on the open market.

"After twenty years of authenticating and valuing the world's finest Hermès bags, I understood exactly what separates museum-quality craftsmanship from everything else. The question became: could we recreate these rare configurations for collectors who might wait decades to access them through official channels?"

The answer required assembling a team of former Hermès master craftsmen—artisans who had spent 15-25 years in Hermès ateliers and brought institutional knowledge impossible to replicate through observation alone. These craftsmen didn't learn to copy Hermès; they learned from Hermès, working on authentic production for decades.

We established our workshop in 2015, initially serving private commissions for serious collectors seeking specific discontinued colors, exotic leather configurations, or vintage-era details. What started as discreet projects for a handful of clients has grown into the industry's most trusted source for limited edition recreations—built entirely on referrals from satisfied collectors.

Today, we maintain the largest customer database of Hermès collectors worldwide. Our clients aren't looking for cheap alternatives—they're seasoned enthusiasts who already own authentic pieces and understand the difference between genuine craftsmanship and mass-produced imitations. They come to us for configurations that official boutiques cannot or will not provide within reasonable timeframes.

Our Principles

What We Stand For

01

Authentic Materials

We use HCP leather, Vergez Blanchard tools, Fil Au Chinois thread, and RIRI zippers—the exact materials Hermès uses. No substitutes, no shortcuts, no compromises on material authenticity.

02

Traditional Methods

Every bag is hand-sewn using traditional saddle stitching. We don't use machines or modern production techniques. Each piece requires 150+ hours of skilled manual labor—exactly as Hermès did a century ago.

03

Era-Specific Accuracy

Hermès details evolved across decades. We match bags to specific production years: stitching patterns, hardware weights, stamp placements. Collectors notice when details are wrong—we get them right.

04

Quality Over Speed

We maintain standards even when it means longer wait times. Rush orders are declined if they compromise quality. Each bag is completed when it meets our standards—not when a deadline demands it.

05

Collector Discretion

Our clients value privacy. We maintain strict confidentiality, process orders discreetly, and never share customer information. Luxury collecting is personal—we respect that completely.

06

Authentication Standards

Every bag is crafted to pass professional authentication checkpoints. UV-reactive packaging, correct stitching tension, exact measurements—we create pieces that authenticators struggle to distinguish from genuine examples.
