Hermes Silk Carre Scarf 90x90 - Jardin de la Maharani -
Exquisite, genuine, never used, silk carré "Le jardin de la Maharani" by Hermes for its Spring collection. The silk twill carré scarf/foulard was bought in April at the Hermes boutique in Milan (Italy), but was never used. Original price was €350 (about £300) and is now for sale at £250. At 90cm by 90cm, this carré is a delightful sinfonia of different shades of pink that come together to recreate the illusion of an Indian cornucopia. DESIGN HISTORY (from Hermes website) Freely inspired by Mughal motifs, this scarf is dedicated to the Maharani of Jaipur, born Princess Gayatri Devi of Cooch Behar, the third wife of the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II. Her tastes and culture were equally inspired by India and Europe. She marked her time through her political engagement and her determination to bring education to Indian women. At the beginning of the s she created the girls’ school that bears her name. Twenty years later she became a Member of Parliament, elected by the largest majority in Indian history. The Maharani of Jaipur loved nature and gardens. With this scarf, Annie Faivre wanted to pay homage to her by “offering her flowers”. - Comes in its original box with tag as per picture.
