HERMES 90cm SILK SCARF - MOUNTAIN ZEBRA
​by ALICE SHIRLEY

I caught the Alice Shirley bug after several of her scarves had come and gone in the boutiques, and had to scour the resale market to backfill her designs. I initially objected to this 2019 design because ZEBRAS DON'T LIVE IN MOUNTAINS! But I couldn't resist the colors, and it ties like a dream. But then color me corrected... Reading Hermes' The Story Behind I learned there *is* a type of zebra that lives in the mountains! 

The Cape mountain zebra is a rare protected species found in the south-eastern provinces of South Africa. Alice Shirley's design is modeled on a foal that has wandered off to explore the fynbos, the unique vegetation of the southernmost region of the country. It grows in poor soil, and is regenerated by the bush fires sparked by lightning in the dry season. In spring, the fynbos transforms into a fragrant, multi-colored carpet of flowers, a dreamlike vista. The artist has reproduced almost forty different plants to create a sumptuous setting for the little zebra.
