HERMES Scarf Silk Scarf 100% Paris, Made In France Quai eux Fleurs Hermès silk scarf Quai aux Fleurs was designed by Hugo Grygkar and first issued in 1952 The idea of ​​a carré, to print exclusive designs on a square piece of silk came about in the 1930s.

A great example being the caricature styled Lettre de Napoléon a Murat d’après Caran D’Ache (Caran D’Ache, pseudonym of a 19th century French satirist and political cartoonist Emmanuel Poiré, whose first work glorified Napoleon’s era...
