HERMES 90cm SILK SCARF - WILD SINGAPORE
​by ALICE SHIRLEY

When I first saw this in my local boutique in February 2020 right before COVID lockdown, I thought 'lions have no meaning for me' and 'red and purple???'. I walked away. FOOL! My taste in scarves has certainly evolved over time, even over the past year. 

From the Hermes Story Behind:
Alice Shirley pays tribute to the stunning biodiversity of SIngapore. A key stopover for birds migrating from northern Asia to Australia, this fertile island dotted with mangroves and rainforests is home to some unique flora and fauna. Most of the animal species depicted under the tree canopy - bats, greater mouse-deer, leopard cats and Malayan civets - are nocturnal and only come out at nightfall. At the center of the composition, a lion in the form of a tropical fig tree watches over the nature of Singapore, whose name means "the city of the lion" in Sanskrit, in reference to its founding legend.

To my knowledge, there were only four colorways: this, a blue/gold (similar to DUJA CW 09), a pale pink/green, and a special edition blue/green that was retailed only in Asia.
