Hermes Le Fleuve Sacre with Original Almost Perfect Box, Tissue and Receipt. Unworn

Rare and Sought after, according to Carres d’art IV, this completely beautiful mint green/teal scarf was designed by Catherine Baschet in 2005. It’s as new, complete with almost perfect original box, receipt, tissue, and care label, but we’ve given it a light press because we felt there were too many incorrect folds in it.

Hermes writes:   Two women at the window contemplate the passing of days. Waters sprung from the mountains and flowing towards the sea. Harmony, peace, beauty. In the swirls of the river, over there, village folk gather to pray, to play and to wash their linen. A ship makes its way downstream, a passing stranger, who returns laden. What cargo is in the hold? A certain light, no doubt; an art of living founded on wisdom. And what will it leave in its wake? Silence, yearnings, a tear.
