With over 15 years of expertise in luxury fashion and art history, Dr. Clara Beaumont is celebrated as one of the world’s foremost authorities on Hermès handbags. Her groundbreaking research delves into the intersection of craftsmanship, heritage, and design evolution within the iconic French maison. A graduate of the Sorbonne’s prestigious Fashion and Material Culture program, Clara’s doctoral thesis on the socio-cultural significance of Hermès Birkin and Kelly bags has been lauded for its originality and depth.
Clara’s work is regularly featured in top-tier journals, auction house catalogs, and media outlets such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and The Financial Times. She has curated exhibitions for institutions like the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris and collaborates closely with collectors, archivists, and artisans to preserve the legacy of Hermès’ meticulous artistry. Known for her sharp eye for detail and encyclopedic knowledge of rare collections, Clara also advises luxury resale platforms and authentication agencies, ensuring the integrity of every piece she evaluates.
Beyond academia, she hosts sold-out workshops and seminars, empowering enthusiasts to appreciate the stories woven into every stitch of Hermès’ timeless creations. Passionate about sustainability in luxury, Clara champions the enduring value of craftsmanship over trends.
When not poring over archival sketches or interviewing master artisans, she can be found scouring Parisian vintage markets for undiscovered gems—always with a perfectly curated Hermès scarf tied just so.
Every Hermès bag is a love letter to artistry. My mission is to decode its language for the world.
