Etriers Remix

Histoires De Carres > Spring-Summer 2020

This classic design by the house is presented in new colours. Francoise de La Perriere was inspired by the Emile Hermes collection, which features numerous elements of equestrian harnesses, to create Etriers. Their beauty reflects the infinite diversity of technical and aesthetic innovations over the ages and across borders. Highlighting a collection of stirrups from the 18th and 19th centuries, the artist takes us on a journey from South America to the Middle East via France and Spain. Designed for riding either astride or sidesaddle, the adornments gracing the stirrups are extremely refined. Finely wrought flowers, stars and mythical beasts make them as precious as jewelry.
