Hermés 'Cuir du Desert II' Carre Silk Twill Scarf 140cm in Rouge Blanc Noir - New*

This is an unused, 100% authentic Hermés 'Cuir du Desert II' Carre Silk Twill Scarf 140cm in Rouge Blanc Noir.

A vibrant and rare colourway, the 'Leather Desert' design by Françoise de la Perrière evokes the intricate craftsmanship skills of the Hoggar Berbers, nomads of the Sahara's Gao Region,

 "Goat and camel skins are the basis of one of the Sahara’s richest traditions of artisan expertise: that of the Hoggar Berbers, nomads of the Gao Region, experts in fine leatherwork embellished with symbolic, decorative motifs, sliced into fine strips, incised with openwork patterns, dyed with natural pigments, cut with knives into a host of geometric shapes, painted with quills… The women make bags, cushions and amulets while the men craft sheaths for daggers, and saddles for camels – skills concentrated in this bold, simple, energetic composition, a jubilant alliance of cashmere and silk, the materials of choice for the house of Hermès." Hermés 

Condition -  New*

 Details -

A piece denoted as reduced in the Hermés Sale, by the S stamp in a circle to the corner beneath the composition label, this stunning piece has just been stored since purchase.

Light, linear creases to the fabric from being folded, plump hand rolled and stitched edges and just two, hairline, 5cm long, horizontal pulls to the silk on the lower RH side edge, so slight they are barely visible, (see zoomed photos above)

The reason for the * rating is due to the very slight seep of the black Sale Stamp ink through the fabric to the other side, again very hard to see without close inspection.

Made in France
