Well, Wednesday was certainly chaotic, scary and depressing, so the FedEx guy with an Hermes delivery this afternoon was a much needed diversion. Les Artisans in color 10 arrived, and I haven’t seen a more enchanting design in many years. The details are amazing, and the artist managed to include scenes of most of the Hermes metiers and give them a lovely exotic twist.

Favorite scenes include the FSH store with a Japanese facade, the Eiffel Tower behind it and “scarf man” flying his H scarf banners from the roof. And there’s a charming scene of the interior of the Hermes museum with objects I actually remember seeing there.

Then you have a scene of the leather workers laying out the pattern for a saddle, stitching and finishing it, with a proud artisan holding up a completed saddle. In the next scene, an artist is etching a scarf design with three ladies working on the coloration while a tiny cat on the roof catches the sun . And, then everyone goes out
to the garden for a tea break and lunch!

In the Lyon scene, you see them mixing the dyes, along with the scarf printing production line. We move along to the rolliteuse stitching the hems, and finally a reverential artisan holds up a finished scarf, which is Les Artisans in miniature. Annie Faivre’s little monkey even makes an appearance in one scene!

The Samourais in the center design is dashing and the Japanese maiden riding the horse/motorcycle is beautifully depicted and lovely. Wasn’t sure how I’d feel about that horse, but he’s beautiful and the “innards” of the cycle show another depiction of FSH, which the artist must feel is the true heart of Hermes.

I wish I could read the Japanese calligraphy, but I figure that it must be the title of the scarf, and perhaps, one of the chops is the artist’s signature?

Sorry to gush on and on, but I think this is a real tour de force of a scarf, one that doesn’t come along every day. It’s truly Hermes at its fanciful best. And, it should tie like a dream. Thank you for indulging me. I haven’t been this excited about a scarf in years!

I should add that the colors are pretty much as depicted. Photos were taken indoors in late afternoon light, so some of pictures are a bit more subdued than in “real life.” Personally, I don’t think you could miss with any of the colors. They all look lovely and wearable. Of course, I want more . . . one just isn’t enough, not in this magical design.

Wow! Thank you for such a descriptive itemization of the sections on this scarf. I have not seen it in person and didn’t think I would be interested in it before your wonderful description.

To be perfectly honest, I wasn’t sure about it either, Winter4, but I decided to take a chance, and I’m so happy I did. I’ve looked it all over again and keep finding more delightful details.

Give me an H scarf I can wax poetic about, and I’m a happy girl. I’m glad you enjoyed the (long winded) description.

 

[lilyhernes]

Such a beautiful design!

It truly is, MAGJES. I’m thrilled to have it. Now, because I’m greedy, I’m already hoping for a Cashmere GM version!

So well articulated! This design is very special!

Good scarfie, bunnycat. I’ll be honored to be scarf twins or cousins with you. I had to order a second one for a friend this morning who saw mine and threatened not to give it back! Very much looking forward to seeing yours.

You and me both, akakai! I’d like a couple more of this beauty. Must restrain myself.

Thanks to you, I have #4 coming by mail from Atlanta (Herb).and I didn’t think I would ever want it!!

Can't wait to be scarf cousins! I don't remember the number, but I was waiting for the bright colorway with the fuchsia/orange/blue to come back on line.
