Vintage scarves drop, Wed 2 PM Paris
La Vie à Cheval, designed by Laurence Bourthoumieux and first issued in 2001, is a striking tribute to the equestrian spirit that has always defined Hermès. The composition unfolds like a medieval tapestry, with vivid scenes of knights, cavalry, and banners, arranged around a heraldic crest at the center. Each quadrant captures a different moment of life on horseback, from parades to battlefields, celebrating the heritage of riding as both art and tradition.
This edition, with its deep crimson and golden tones, heightens the sense of grandeur and makes the scarf read like a piece of wearable history. More than a fashion accessory, La Vie à Cheval is a reminder of Hermès’ mastery in transforming silk into storytelling — a rare carré for collectors who value narrative, artistry, and timeless elegance.
