How Hermes started

This article is independent and not affiliated with Hermes. Trademarks belong to their respective owners. We are not an authorized dealer.

This is a short, independent history of Hermes. It is not a catalog, and Singapore Buying Agent does not speak for the brand.

Thierry Hermes opened a harness workshop in Paris in 1837, making tack for carriages rather than a logo for a mall. Later generations kept the leather work and moved into bags and silk as travel changed. Readers meet the name on Orchard Road, at Liat Towers, or inside Marina Bay Sands, then find the boutique will not ship to their country. This note is background only. It does not reserve a bag.

How an order moves

Send one link per item when you can. Add color, size, and whether you need a Type G plug in order comments. Reference prices go on the form in SGD. We answer on the order page in USD, including the service fee. First payment covers the goods and that fee. Second payment is international shipping after we weigh the packed parcel. You can ask us to hold a box at the warehouse while you add another Singapore seller.

Service fee and the two payments

The service fee is published on pricing. We apply it when we write your order page. You see item totals and the service fee in USD before the first payment. International shipping is not guessed on this page. After the goods are at our warehouse, we weigh them and write a second USD total. Estimates, not final bills, sit on the shipping calculator. Enter the price you saw in SGD. We convert the working total to USD.

Combine sellers, then ship once

A phone from one Singapore shop and shirts from another do not need two international labels. Ask us to hold pieces at the warehouse. We combine them when the products and the paperwork allow it. Fragile tins and heavy chairs may still need their own cartons. Service fee rules stay on pricing. Rough weight bands are on the shipping calculator. Final shipping is the weighed parcel, written in USD. The shelf figure you typed stays in SGD until we convert the working total.

Details that save a rejected order

Tell us if the item is a gift, if it must stay sealed, or if you need a photo of a panel before export. Singapore appliances are about 230 volts and use a Type G plug, the three-pin shape. That plug matches Britain and some Gulf sockets, and it does not match a US, EU, or Australian wall. Summer heat and cabin air are hard on chocolate, lipstick, and some creams. Mention heat if the goods will sit before the second payment. We buy only the item you approved, matched to the listing that day.

From the workshop story to a real purchase

History explains why shoppers look for Hermes in Singapore. It does not reserve stock. When you want a current piece, send the Singapore product link or a boutique note. We check domestic availability, write USD item lines and the service fee, and ship after you approve both payment stages. See pricing and the shipping calculator. Enter the shelf figure in SGD.
