Hermes Bolduc/Ribbon

[nikki1959]

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.
