Description
Model History:
Created in 1966 by Henri de Linares, an artist renowned for his sensitive view of wildlife, the Plumes square celebrates the graphic richness and diversity of feathers. In the Hermès tradition, this model is one of the emblematic naturalist squares, highlighting both the mastery of design and the heritage of craftsmanship. Reissued several times, it embodies an emblematic motif, appreciated for its visual poetry and timelessness in vintage women’s wardrobes.
Details:
Silk twill offers a fluid, satiny fall, enhancing the lightness of the design. Each feather is illustrated with great refinement, playing on subtle gradations and varied textures: fluffy, fine, long or rounded. Natural, pastel hues evoke softness and calm, reinforced by balanced framing and precise printing. The soft pink border creates a discreet contrast, adding a note of freshness without breaking the harmony of the whole. Like all authentic Hermès squares, this one is carefully hand-rolled, with the edges rolled right-side out. The “Hermès-Paris” signature and that of the artist are integrated into the design, discreet but visible, a guarantee of authenticity and original edition. The reverse side retains the same print quality, a testament to Hermès silk craftsmanship.
Product Condition:
This square is preserved in very good vintage condition. The silk fibers retain all their fluidity and natural luster. A few small stains. No noticeable tears or marks. The colors remain bright and well contrasted, with no fading. The roulotté retains its volume and regularity.
Care instructions:
Silk twill requires professional dry-cleaning. To prolong color brilliance, store flat or rolled, away from direct light. If creased, gentle ironing on the reverse side at low temperature is recommended.
