Does Hermes change its ribbon every year? A friend told me this a way of working out if a seller is selling a fake as many just have ribbon with Hermes Paris on it. And if this is true does anyone know where I can find out the ribbons over the last couple of years? Thank
They do fabricate ribbon that will have the theme for the year. However, the SA's are also free to use the regular Hermes-Paris ribbon. While I cannot off the top of my head give you exactly what was printed on the ribbon, I can post the themes for the last few years. 1996: Music 1997: Africa 1998: The Tree 1999: Stars and Mythology 2000: New Life 2001: The Beauty of the Earth 2002: The Hand 2003: The Mediterranean Sea 2004: Ideas and Fantasy 2005: The River, Hippopotamus 2006: The Year of Paris HTH.
I don't know the official themes, but the way they were represented on the locks for some additiona years are as follows: 1988 - elephant 1992 - stork 1993 - pegasus 1994 - flower 1995 - snail
wow. I didn't even realise there are different ribbons, wasn't paying attention obviously! There's much to learn in the world of H...
