Vintage 90 Hermès Paris carré in pure silk, Grand Manège pattern, designed by Henri d’Origny and originally created in 1990.
One of the maison's great equestrian classics: bits, stirrups, buckles, straps and harnesses are transformed by d'Origny into an extremely rich, perfectly symmetrical and immediately recognizable geometric composition.
This variation features a deep green centre, significant red/fuchsia fields, midnight blue, grey and gold elements and a wide brown/taupe border.
The scarf features the signature H. d’ORIGNY, the copyright © HERMÈS, the title Grand Manège and the writing Hermès Paris integrated into the design.
A vintage Hermès carré preserved in particularly beautiful condition.
