HERMES 70cm SILK SCARF - L'EPOPEE D'HERMES DETAIL
by JAN BAJTLIK
L'Epopee D'Hermes was first issued as a 140cm cashmere shawl. I absolutely loved the design but as much as I love Jan Bajtlik's wall of detail from his earlier designs, it's just a bit too much for me in the large cashmere. So I was thrilled when the detail version came out in a 70cm silk - I just couldn't choose which color. I tried five, and kept these two. The darker goes so well with chocolate brown, and the lighter with denim. What's a girl to do???
From the Hermes Story Behind:
Based on the design of the L'Epopee d'Hermes scarf. Six generations have followed each other to write the history of Hermes, which is based around encounters and inspired by new innovations. Today, the seventh generation continues the founding spirit, marked by audacity and elegance, while looking resolutely to the future. The designer Jan Bajtlik has created a goose game to illustrate this abundant adventure, which began in 1837 when Thierry Hermes founded his harness and saddle factory in Paris. The founder, placed at the center of this joyful spectacle, is surrounded by characters who have shaped the history of Hermes. Charles-Emile Hermes, who established the family's saddlery business at 24, Faubourg Saint-Honore in 1880, is having fun as a child on his rocking horse! In the distance, a spaceship takes off towards unknown planets, just like Hermes, continually setting its sights on new horizons.
Bajtlik posted an annotated diagram of the full design, showing the amazing attention to detail he incorporated in this work of art.
