The story behind
In the second half of the 19th century, Parisian saddlery Houses, like fashion retailers, presented their new products by means of illustrated catalogues in which straps, saddles, collars and harnesses were drawn with great precision. The Emile Hermès collection includes several of these catalogues. One dating from 1895 inspired Virginie Jamin in 2017 to create a scarf, which has been adapted here into a losange. Its zigzagging straps form an enticing tracery of lines, checks and weaves that, with a bit of imagination, appears to resemble a city.
