The story behind
Based on the Lettres Equestres scarf design
What if 19th-century product catalogues – the illustrated albums that presented the artisans' collections – concealed coded messages that only the salesman and the shopkeeper could decipher, away from prying eyes? Who knows, perhaps this scarf has been chosen from the Émile Hermès collection to give us a precious key to good fortune. Anyone who succeeds in deciphering the magic word will restore the harness to its full glory and make their horse the happiest of steeds.
