Folies Du Faubourg (Les)

Hermes.com > The Story Behind

In this dreamlike scene, the Faubourg building branches out endlessly in a multicolored swirl. Engravers, printers and colorists, the artisans of Hermès, are transported around a lake aboard a small train. Each carriage is a celebration in itself: a carriage, horse and racing car all look like something out of a cartoon. All around, valleys and mountains reach up to the hot-air balloons carried along by the wind, while a few elves gaze in fascination at this fairytale scene.
