Behind Chanel, Hermes and Chaumet

An intimate, crafts-first journey inside three of France’s most storied maisons. Moving from couture fittings to leather ateliers and high-jewelry benches, the film traces how ideas become heirloom objects—guided by the hands, eyes, and rituals of the artisans who make them. Designers, premières, saddlers, gem-setters, and historians open up about lineage, innovation, and the pressures of protecting house codes in a hyper-modern market. With unfussy access and a quiet observational tone, Behind Chanel, Hermès and Chaumet shows the choreography behind luxury: the sketches and prototypes, the last-minute adjustments, and the small decisions that determine whether something feels merely beautiful—or truly timeless.
