The story behind
Since its origins, the Émile Hermès collection has perpetuated the tradition of bringing together rare and atypical pieces. This is seen in compositions of real objects that allow us to appreciate their stylistic and typological variants at a single glance. It was one of these compositions, dated from 1923, that served as a model for this scarf on which dog collars are carefully arranged according to size or symmetry. A few years later, these adornments inspired the famous Collier de chien belt and eponymous bracelet. Florence Manlik's precise, meticulous hand, coupled with her undeniable sense of volume and material, create a piece of remarkable realism.

During the Second Empire, the officers of the Imperial Guard wore sumptuous uniforms with Dolman jackets that were covered with frog fastenings. In 1972, Caty Latham designed a famous scarf inspired by this characteristic outfit, which is offered in a surprising reinterpretation here. By simplifying the original design with dotted lines, this new interpretation enhances the silhouette and decorations of this traditional costume which has continued to retain all its prestige.

The story behind
Inspired by the design of La pâtisserie française scarf: Pierre Marie's idea for this scarf came from the pages of a French cookbook published in 1873. Le Livre de pâtisserie was the fourth book by Jules Gouffé, the son of a Parisian pastry chef renowned for his pièces montées, whose shop was located on the rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, a stone's throw from Hermès. Soon his talent had earned him the title of "the apostle of decorative cuisine". For Pierre Marie, these beautiful delicacies, amassed in a kind of culinary daydream, were irresistible. Towers of almond paste, pistachio croquembouches, decorative cake stands, colored sugars, nougatine, dessert creams and choux buns form an extravagant decor that pays tribute to the illustrator's boundless imagination.
