Vintage Hermès Scarf: La Promenade de Longchamps. Regal Pageantry by P. Ledoux

Hermès is known for equestrian-themed designs. First produced in 1965, "La Promenade de Longchamps" portrays a parade of horse-drawn carriages and solo riders in concentric rings around a central image. This central image shows a man riding solo who has stopped close to a woman's carriage; he doffs his hat, and takes the lady's hand. It's a beautiful example of Hermès' attention to detail, and elegant artistry of legendary designer Philippe Ledoux. It is made of Hermès' renown thick silk twill, 34" square, with hand-stitched rolled edges. It is in excellent condition - perhaps never used, and certainly never ironed. This is one of several scarves I purchased at an estate sale which featured dozens of them. I selected this one based on the design, artist, and condition. If you search for scarves of this design and quality on eBay, you'll regularly find them offered up at $400. This is priced to sell.
