Description
This is a beautiful and authentic framed Hermes silk scarf named "L'Elegance et le Confort en Automobile". It was designed by Caty Latham in 1996.
The design draws on classic automotive imagery, combining refined line work, balanced composition, and a restrained color palette typical of period travel and advertising art. It reflects Hermes' longstanding relationship with carriage-making and luxury travel, translating that heritage into a sophisticated, narrative visual style. The result sits comfortably between decorative art and design history, with a distinctly French sense of refinement and practicality.
The frame is made from durable aluminium for a timeless and elegant look. It includes a white mat board border, crystal-clear acrylic glass and a sturdy wooden backboard for lasting support.
Frame comes in four different colors: Midnight Black, Off White, Copper Bronze, Moon Silver & Orange Gold. Feel free to send us a message if you'd like a different frame color than the one listed and we will happily replace it for you.
Please note this silk scarf is in good condition with minor wear consistent with age and use. The frame is brand new and custom made to perfectly fit any classic 90x90cm Hermes scarf
