Love the motorcycle design and its references to horsepower in the details. Not so impressed with the Brides de Gala reissue but then I'm not the sentimental type.
And yes the scarf manufacturing process uses machines - some of them very high tech indeed. The one that files the screen prints for each colour is definitely impressive - but have a look at http://lesailes.hermes.com/gb/en/518-no-comment to see the manual effort that does go into any one scarf. And the boredom in making the boxes, rolling the ribbons and packing the perfumes.
The picture of the man doing the hand silk screen printing of the one scarf is only a demonstration set-up. On the real production line even the ink is still mixed by hand.
