"More than a book, Hermès: A Philosophy of Objects is an ode to the collector’s impulse to find meaning, mastery, and soul in the beautifully made."
– Tanya Gibson, Private Air

"Published by ACC Art Books, the volume is a masterclass in tactile publishing, destined to sit on the shelves of aesthetes, collectors, and philosophers of form. It is, in every sense, an object worthy of Hermès itself."
"In an age where the market can often eclipse the maker, Hermès: A Philosophy of Objects reasserts the primacy of process. Collecting Hermès, then, is not merely about acquisition. It is about alignment—with a worldview that prizes longevity over spectacle, and excellence over excess."
– Private Air
"Published by ACC Art Books, this volume guides the reader inside one of the most prestigious and exclusive fashion houses in the world. From its birth as a family business to its international rise, this in-depth account of Hermès and its iconic models, design techniques, and history-making collections is explored through archival materials and vintage advertising."
