The story behind
HI is a design pulled from a two-tone jacquard blanket in the 1986 Hermès archives. It adopted a similar composition with four "I"s which reveal an "H" when you look a little closer. The exceptional nature of this new blanket lies in how it is made: cut-yarn weaving jacquard. This know-how involves incorporating an additional weft into the weave. The floating threads are then cut and reveal the technique. These extra threads enhance the blanket's color palette, making it more textured and lavish.
