Hermes Silk Jacquard Scarf Le Geographe Pattern in Black - Hermes 100% silk jacquard scarf in the Le Geographe pattern, designed by Sandra Laroche. The design centers on a circular map of Australia featuring historic French geographical designations including Terre de Witt, Terre Napoleon, and Nouvelle Galles du Sud. The map is surrounded by a detailed wreath of Australian flora and fauna, including a kangaroo, platypus, emu, and native wildflowers. The central motif is framed by maritime and exploratory illustrations: a cartouche of the Societe de Geographie building at the top, a profile of an 18th-century sailing vessel at the bottom, and four corner oval portraits of maritime explorers. The black field of the scarf is woven with a subtle all-over jacquard pattern of kangaroos and anchors. The piece is finished with hand-rolled and hand-stitched hems. A printed banner at the lower right corner displays the Hermes signature. The attached white fabric care label specifies 100% Soie/Silk and Made in France, with a stamped letter S on each end, indicating the item was originally sold at an Hermes staff or soldes sale. Approximately 35 inches x 35 inches (90 cm x 90 cm).
