French luxury brand Hermès unveiled its 2026 Spring-Summer collection at Hermès Maison Shanghai, drawing inspiration from equestrian motifs to celebrate the upcoming Chinese Year of the Horse. The collection pays homage to Hermès’ heritage as a Parisian harness workshop founded in 1837, featuring designs that incorporate functional horse-related elements. Signature pieces like the Bride de jour bag and Haut à Courroies bag highlight this equestrian influence, while the theme extends across accessories, beauty products, and home décor.

Highlights include silk twill scarves depicting vibrant horse scenes, a limited-edition horse-themed face powder, and home items inspired by horseshoes and leather weaving craftsmanship. By revisiting its classic equestrian codes, Hermès blends practicality, artistry, and cultural symbolism, reaffirming its enduring connection to the world of horses and aligning with the spirit of the Year of the Horse.
