Hermes Le Jeu des Petits Bonheurs (A Happy Game) MINT!

£349.00

Oh so pretty! And for happy evenings in, you can actually use this scarf as a boardgame!

The Hermès “Le Jeu des Petits Bonheurs” (literally “The Game of Little Pleasures”) is a highly collectible, whimsical piece designed by the artist Sophie de Seynes in 2004. The artwork is inspired by the 16th-century French board game Jeu d’Oie (Game of the Goose), and the design layout functions like a spiral game board featuring 63 individual illustrations. Instead of standard obstacles, each tile portrays the simple, joyful moments of everyday life—les petits bonheurs.

While traditionally produced as a classic Carré 90 (90x90cm) silk twill scarf, it was also released in coveted Silk Mousseline (chiffon) and Pleated silk variations. Notable colourways include emerald green, white, yellow, and orange border variations, in addition to our pretty pink.

Hermes writes: Chance is never far from love, whose games lead on to happiness. Little pleasures: luck. Greater happiness too often makes us fearful for its loss! A modest joy is more reliable, more solid, more full of charm. Enjoyment of games: a roll of the dice and everything slips away, but sliding away safely nevertheless. And only for laughs. Storm warning, free fall, traffic jam, who cares? For on the last square, Number 63, you can tighten the ties of friendship – with yourself, under a clear sky.
