Stitching and Strolling

Description

A picturebook by Hermès that shares the joy of craftmanship for children and adults alike.

Durability, quality and transmission are values that have guided the creation of Hermes objects since 1837; values that Hermes aspires to share with the youngest generation. For this edition, Hermes has commissioned 100% ORANGE, the acclaimed creator duo whose works include numerous picture books and children’s books. With their artisanal approach to create graphic designs and illustrations, they have created a story that seeks to encapsulate the meaning of craftsmanship and aims to pass on to the next generation the essence of Hermes. The joyful story of ‘Ostampo Stetetcchi’, expresses the Maison’s unique artisanal savoir-faire with the following story:

As a craftsman masters skillfully the tools and materials in its small saddlery shop, bringing his creations to life, a dog enters with a special request. Gently and kindly, the craftsman works to fulfill the dog’s earnest needs. With joy, the dog invites the craftsman for a walk, and as they walk, they encounter animals of one kind or another. A little bit of magic, his hands and his tools are all it takes for the craftsman to grant their wishes one by one. With perfectly crafted creations, the animals arn delighted by its magic.
