Hermes patents - Interesting webpage found

[Hermes Nuttynut]

While googling "Hermes Sellier", I found this very interesting page. If you click the links under the heading "Title of Patent", there are drawings included AND the inventor's (designer's) names. I thought you all would appreciate it:

Often with patents, it is the CEO or a senior exec who is listed as the designer/inventor. I know it is this way for vintage jewelry pieces.

Not anymore. He retired due to health issues. During his time he was the ultimate; every Christmas Eve sat at the desk near the entrance of FSH and said thank you to the customers. To me he is the personification of Hermès. Best quote I ever read from him was something to the effect that customers should not be head-to-toe Hermès, but just a touch for flair and elegance! Hermès is different to me now.

Too cool!
Mr Dumas invented quite a lot of things and also designed some scarves AFAIK.

Anyone found who invented the Lindy yet? THAT is a cool design. I think an Indian gentleman did the Paris- Bombay.
