Hermes Flamingo Party Virtually Unworn

Possibly Hermes’ most romantic design of all! Passionate, dramatic, so colourful! Just Glorious!  We are absolutely thrilled to have got hold of this stunning Hermes scarf at last – after years of searching! Especially in this gorgeous colourway with its dark apricot borders, and in such great condition! 9.9/10!

Designed in 2015 by Laurence Bourthoumieux (‘Toutsy’), we think that Flamingo Party is one of her best! There was a two-sided monotone version recently on sale via Hermes, priced at 710 euros – no competition in our opinion!

Hermes writes:

“Flamingos, those huge, strangely beautiful birds, throw themselves once a year into a lengthy nuptial parade that sees them pair off, two by two… until next year. Flaunting their long, extraordinarily supple, graceful necks, their aristocratic bearing, their carefully preened wings, males and females take stock, brushing past one another, scrutinising their potential partners for hours on end. Surrounded by palms, orange trees and tropical flowers, their wings unfurled, in a frenzied tête-à-tête, the two birds pictured here are a celebration of their native Florida. America’s south-easternmost State is home to the celebrated Everglades national park, the habitat for a host of species including alligators, cougars, lynx, manatees and flamingos.”

Scarf Sage writes:

“Laurence Bourthoumieux, also known as Toutsy, is a gifted French artist and designer known for her remarkable work with Hermès. Born Laurence Thioune, she has signed her earlier works as L.T. and later adopted the pseudonym Toutsy after her name changed, presumably due to marriage.
