Hermes Les Triples (The Triplets) Almost Unworn Sea Green

A beautiful, charming, very rare and highly sought after design by Nicole Lambert, issued in 2004. The only Hermes design she produced, yet one of the most highly prized!

Our example has a tiny bit of creasing and a very faint mark – it has probably been worn once but retains that feel of newness, complete with care label.

Ms Lambert is a children’s author who has produced a number of iconic French cartoon books, featuring this group of cuuuute triplets, who are childhood favourites throughout France.  The children featured in our scarf are on a sight-seeing tour through Paris, and throughout the motif they visit the Eiffel Tower, Les Palais Royal and of course they made a stop at Les Boutiques de Paris. They even wore their most Parisian red and white stripes, and have their French Bull dog in tow, who is appropriately sporting a scarf.

Parisian childrenswear boutique, L’Ile aux Fees, which stocks the Triplet books, writes:

Another treasure of our Parisian boutique are the Albums Les Triplés (The Triplets) from Nicole Lambert, famous French author and illustrator.

Overnight success, first published weekly in the French magazine Madame Figaro in 1984, paving the way to now more than 23 albums and a Netflix series, the comic strip has become part and parcel of French culture. Deeply cherished by both children and their parents, it a classic found in almost all homes.

Following the daily adventures and mischiefs of three adorable blond-headed siblings, two brothers and their sister, Nicole Lambert depicts French childhood at its best. A joyful world full of innocence which will bring back adults’ own tender souvenirs and make your little ones beam with delight! Inspired by real life stories and funny misunderstandings, the author celebrates the thriving imagination, the incredible energy and ravenous curiosity of children!

“I hope Triplets will have the same effect on their audience that they had on me: Keeping childhood alive, telling about happiness – the happiness of being a child, the happiness of having children,” says the author. “Telling about love, love of children for their mother, love of mother for her children. Telling about the funny side of life, the little gags, blunders and misunderstandings which happen every day in the lives of three such lively kids.”

Among our favourites is Les Triplés à Paris : Bilingual with speech bubbles in both French and English, the Album has us discovering the French capital through the candid eyes of the Triplets! How fun to pour water over tourists from the Alexander III bridge? How impressive and tall the Eiffel Tower looks? What makes the Joconde so famous?

A wide range of Nicole’s Albums : Les Triplés à la Montagne, Les Triplés Miam Miam, Les Triplés à l’école, les Triplés exagèrent to name just a few can be found in our Parisian boutique.

Frequently holding book signatures within our store, you may even have the luck of having an album signed by the author herself!

Last but not least, we invite you to discover her latest book Nouna La Nouille. This time, it is through the eyes of a little pasta that you will discover the world! Addressing important themes such as : the feeling of being different, friendship, the need of freedom and love, the story appeals to all generations. We laugh, we hold our breath, we cry, but most of all we smile!
