Hermes.com > The Story Behind

Christian Renonciat's Pégase d'Hermès is "a mechanical construction, a tribute to Leonardo da Vinci and to the dream of rebuilding the world." This winged horse is framed by a long inscription: "Like the waters of the torrent that leap, like the fertile imagination that overflows, one cannot stop its fiery race." In other words, his meeting with Hermès is a foregone conclusion. The drawing is revisited in a smaller version, finely worked on the left, and in color on the right.

A One Of A Kind Beauty
Topstitched in the workshops then plunged into a large bath, the carré 90 is washed by the expert hands of our craftspeople following an intricate process. Their dexterity transforms the silk, giving it a new texture; while its colours change hue.
The twill is mattified and the colours have a filtered look. The scarf softens, becomes more velvety. Its silk acquires a beautiful, one-of-a-kind patina. An everyday companion, the scarf can actually be washed... in a washing machine!
