HERMES 140cm CASHMERE SHAWL - AU FIL DU CARRE
by ANNIE FAIVRE
I don't have any hard and fast rules about what makes me add a scarf to the collection. Generally speaking I love brights, dogs, a playful tone, busy designs... This shawl has a bit of all of that but what made me keep this one vs a very grail-y framboise Tohu Bohu that was re-homed yearssssss ago were the black horses. Sometimes a little pop o' something just hits me in the right way.
From the Hermes Story Behind:
For over thirty years, Annie Faivre has been designing scarves, and here she has selected eighteen of them to compose her nineteenth work. Each of her exuberant, generous designs conceals a small monkey, nestled in a tree, perched on a camel, or hanging from a creeper. A memento, a signature, a mascot, this mischievous creature is the breadcrumb trail linking one scarf to the next, each theme to story, or voyage to savoir-faire according to the subjects illustrated. United here, they speak of cultures, craftsmen, water, land and sun... befitting a game of riddles the clues to which are the titles of the scarves. Who will find Libres comme l'air, Tapis volants or Ors nomades?
