Designed by Kermit Oliver - the first, and until very recently only, American artist invited to design for Hermès. A black American who grew up in Texas, Kermit's art has always been influenced by Native American patterns. Condition: Vintage scarf, gently used; Sold-As-Is in a box Size: 36" x 36" (90cm); as each scarf is hand rolled, there is slight variation in size Made in France Possibly the most coveted of all Hermes scarves. Just look at the extraordinary detail! You can almost hear the rustle of the bear, the deer, the hare, a horse, even an armadillo, amid the howl of a wolf, the twittering of the birds, and the gobbling of the dramatic centrepiece – a wild turkey! Around 100 native Texas animals and plants are represented, each a picture of its own, hours to be spent studying this scarf, yet there will always be more to see! And this scarf feels unworn! “Faune et Flore Du Texas – Texas Wildlife” by postman Kermit Oliver, the only American artist ever to design for the Maison Hermes, was first issued in 1986, with Oliver’s signature and the Hermes copyright incorporated into the border.
