Created in 1975, the Hermès ‘Carrosserie’ scarf is one of the House’s most refined tributes to its equestrian heritage and the art of master coachbuilders. Its spiral design, composed of panels depicting wheels, horse-drawn carriages and coachwork elements, offers a perspective that is both historical and graphic, typical of Hermès’s creations from the 1970s.

This piece stands out for its warm and luminous golden-yellow palette, which highlights the richness of the illustrations and the precision of the lines.
