HERMES 90cm SILK SCARF - MAITRES DE LA FORET
by ANNIE FAIVRE
There are a few local consignment shops which always seem to have a scarf or two to tempt me. I used to work near a couple so I'd regularly pop in to see what might call my name. On one such visit I spied this and fell in love with the colors - like marine (a dark blue), petrol (a blue-ish gray) is a color that seems to work every time. And in true Annie Faivre style the design has such sumptuous detail. Could not resist.
From the Hermes Story Behind:
With the lightest of touches, Annie Faivre’s carré expresses the full force of nature: the vital energy and burgeoning growth of the plant kingdom. Plants and trees – the monarchs of the forest – form a harmonious, intertwined ensemble, reaching ever-upwards to the light. Branches, leaves and flowers recall the finesse of traditional Kashmiri motifs, created by Indian weavers for the infinitely soft woolen shawls adopted by fashionable European women from the mid-18th century onwards. French textile companies were quick to follow suit, creating their own versions.
