As described in the Hermès catalogue: L'Arbe du vent is a tribute to the Huichol people of Mexico's western Siera Madre – also known as the Wixáritari – and their polytheistic religion, worshipping the divinity inherent in every aspect of the natural world. At its centre, the scarf depicts the eye of God, the protector, surrounded by the four elements, marking the four corners of the Huichol world: Mother Water, the origin of life, Tatei Haramara; Earth, the soul of the world, Tatei Yurianaka, with two hummingbirds fluttering above, symbolizing the souls of traditional shamans; Grandfather Fire, Tatehuari, and Air, Kieiri, the Wind Tree. Mexican artist Montserrat Gonzalez-Lugo has taken inspiration from traditional bead embroideries and threaded wool pictures to depict the essence of Huichol spirituality.

2015 Hermès Scarf Jardin d'Hiver --- Part 1 The Gardens In The Deserts

Photo courtesy of Hermes In the 17th to 19th centuries, the elite from many cold climates cities in Europe used to build large conservatories to house tropical and subtropical plants that would survive under improved conditions. A Winter Garden’s primary purpose was to extend the elite’s living space and create an exotic living environment with tropical plants. One of the Winter Garden’s functions was to protect the precious plants and citrus fruit trees in the cold season, such as the tasty yet delicate orange trees and pineapple shrubs. At that time, the Pineapple, the indigenous fruit of South America, was a significant cultural icon of luxury. The warm and humid oasis mixed with lush trees, unique flowers and exotic fruits inside the magnificent architecture became an attraction for guests and visitors. It was eventually used for various purposes, such as displaying tropical plants, holding flower shows, afternoon tea parties, evening occasions, social gatherings, and a...

Hermès Scarf Kawa Ora - Te Rangitu Netana | Handcrafted Jewellery designed by CloudWei.C

Photo credit to Hermès The Hermès Scarf Kawa Ora, designed by Te Rangitu Netana. As stated in the Hermès catalogue: Te Rangitu Netana, a Maori tattoo artist took inspiration from the life of his ancestors and Maori culture to design this scarf. An owl, the messenger between the material and spiritual worlds, rises above the four walls that draw the house of the tribe's meeting place. Knowledge and a connection to the sky are represented on the northern wall, creation and water on the southern, light and the giant eagle on which the Maori have travelled on the eastern. The albatross tears represent the suffering of the Maori people in the western. The central circle represents a giant octopus, a symbol of navigation, and its tentacles, the eight directions of the Maori compass, in a spirited crossing of cultures. The necklace I created specifically for my Hermès scarf Kawa Ora. It is inspired by the seawater momentum depicted in Kawa Ora. T he owl spreads its wings t...

2017 Hermès Scarf Into The Canadian Wild —— The Inestimable Treasure

The luxury French Maison Hermès launched a special edition carré “Into the Canadian Wild” to celebrate Canada's 150th anniversary in June 2017. The other versions of Into the Canadian Wild were released worldwide in the Fall/Winter seasons of 2017. A portion of the sale proceeds was donated to the charity Evergreen Canada. The Hermès catalogue briefly described the carré as follows: “Canada is the second biggest country in the world by geographical area. Bounded by three oceans, this vast territory is watered by thousands of lakes. Its diverse fauna is protected in a host of regional and national parks, burgeoning with wildlife. This vivid evocation by Alice Shirley presents a swirling celebration of life, an explosion of colour. A majestic snowy owl, one of the symbols of the Québec region, soars amid the aurora borealis. Animals go about their daily lives by land and sea: polar and brown bears, salmon, narwhals, orcas and whales, stags, bison, bighorn sheep, caribou, snow geese,...

2020 Hermès scarf La Légende du Cheval a Plumes - Part 2 The Mino's Carnival

© Hermès Under the terrace, the Trajineras come through an arch tunnel. These flat-bottomed wooden boats are hand-painted in eye-catching assorted colours and float along over an intricate, atmospheric canals system. Each Trajinera has an exotic name, Norma, Rosa, Guido, Gordis, Gracil, Flaquita, H, etc. Norma is the largest Trajinera in the area, with one Mexican mariachi acoustic guitar player wearing a Sombrero hat performing on the boat. Trajinero, the operator of the Trajinera, is navigating and leaving the dock of the city’s iconic sculpture slowly. The stone sculpture Horse is lifting the crowned sea urchin over its head. The crowned sea urchin is also known as the long-spined sea urchin. This species is ecologically important because it consumes microalgae, makes room for the expansion of existing coral colonies, and helps the next generation of corals’ growth. The coral colonies protect coastal areas by reducing the power of waves and tropical storms from the Atlant...

Octave Marsal's Achievement | Hermès Scarf

2021 Faubourg Tropical The first Hermès store opened at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris in 1880, in a building of modest dimensions that also housed saddlery workshops and private apartments. The current neoclassical façade is the result of audacious building work carried out between 1924 and 1926, extending upwards to create additional floors and a surprising roof terrace. It is from this terrace that the exuberant tropical forest designed by the duo of Octave Marsal and Théo de Gueltzl appears to unfurl. Cheetahs, monkeys and cockatoos blend into this botanical canopy, which also conceals the unexpected figure of the mounted cavalryman from the top of Faubourg Saint-Honoré, who has escaped to the jungle. 2020 Cavalcadour Voltigeur Cavalcadour, a classic design by Henri d'Origny, has been reinvented in 3D by Octave Marsal and Oliver Dickson. The new technologies applied to this legendary composition change our perception of it significantly. In this acrobatic exercise, Cavalca...

From the infinitely tiny to the infinitely great… The forest canopy is an expanse of greenery reaching into the empty sky – all that lies between it and the sun. Remote and inaccessible, it is beyond the reach of man: this is the realm of the imagination of Nature herself. The incred...

2015 Hermès Scarf Jardin d'Hiver ---- Part 3 The Winter Gardens

The water fountain’s musical trickling sound is a classic of Italy. Water fountains are beloved by Italian. The first fountain’s beneficial purpose in ancient Rome was bringing water to the population and livestock. As time went by, Romans started building tiny drinking fountains to the massive decorated fountains with iconic sculptures all over the region in Italy.
