Founded in 1837 by Thierry Hermès in Paris, France, Hermès began its early career as a manufacturer of high-end harnesses, with Napoleon III and the Russian Tsar among its customers. With the development of automobiles and other means of transportation, in the 1920s, Hermès expanded its products to include handbags, travel bags, belts, jewelry, watches, silk scarves and other products.
 
Among the many products of Hermès, its flagship product leather goods account for the largest proportion of sales, and in the leather goods category, Hermès's bags are undoubtedly the most prestigious, especially the Kelly bag and Birkin bag. Hermès is very particular about the selection of raw materials for leather embryos, not only has the first choice of leather from many high-quality leather suppliers, but also acquires many well-known tanneries through its tanning division, Hermès Cuirs Précieux, in order to strengthen the integration of the supply chain and obtain high-quality raw materials directly.
 
In 2013 and 2015, Hermès acquired the well-known French tanneries Tannerie d'Annonay and Tanneries Du Puy, which not only used leather to be extremely sophisticated, but also produced leather for luxury brands. In addition, Hermès' raw material suppliers include the well-known tanneries Haas and ARLAN.
 
In view of the fact that the look and feel of leather produced by different leather sources and tanning techniques will be different, Hermès usually distinguishes its leather materials with different names. Different from bags made of crocodile leather, calfskin, lambskin and other materials, Hermes' wallet is mainly made of cowhide, mostly Epsom and Swift calfskin, and different types of cowhide are slightly different in appearance, texture and feel.
 
Hermès men's wallet types include bi-fold shorts, card holders, and coin purses. The bi-fold cropped version is available in the MC² Copernic and Citizen Twill, both of which are similar in style design, both in asphalt gray tones, with 8 card slots, simple and neat, relatively lightweight. The MC² Copernic is made of stiff Epsom calf leather, with a fine surface texture, which is commonly used in Hermès crust, which is more wear-resistant and easy to clean, and the price is as high as 11,750 yuan. If you are looking for a soft texture, it is recommended to buy the Citizen Twill short wallet made of Swift calfskin, Swift leather is softer than other leather, the surface is smooth, although it is more likely to produce scratches than Epsom, but the price is more affordable, the official price is 7200 yuan.
 
Compared with wallets, Hermes has more styles of card holders, mainly Les Petits Chevaux, MC² Euclide 4CC, City 3CC colorblock and Necto card holders, with prices concentrated in 4000-6000 yuan. Among them, the most distinctive is the Les Petits Chevaux card holder, with a 4-color stitching design, for business people who need to carry more documents and cards, the number of 3 card slots is relatively small, but the design is novel and fashionable, each card slot corresponds to a kind of leather, the price is 6200 yuan.
