An iconic piece of Hermès’ heritage, this magnificent “Les Armes de Paris” scarf was designed by the legendary Hugo Grygkar, a leading artist at the House and the creator of some of the scarves most sought after by collectors. Created in 1954, this design celebrates the historic coat of arms of the City of Paris through a spectacular heraldic composition featuring crests, crowns, gilded ornaments, and nautical emblems arranged around the famous Parisian ship.
The motto “Fluctuat Nec Mergitur,” a timeless symbol of the French capital, lends the piece a sense of history and prestige.
Particularly striking in this magnificent color combination of deep royal blue, heraldic red, and luminous gold, this square scarf offers a remarkable contrast that highlights the extraordinary finesse of Grygkar’s design.
