Thierry Hermès (1801-78) began his now internationally famous house of luxury goods in 1837 in Paris, France. Hermès began by making custom, hand-made horseharnesses, which quickly became know for their superior materials and quality of construction, attracting clients such as Napolean III and Empress Eugenie. The successful company began to expand, catering to their clients’ needs, creating a variety of equestrian-related goods and accessories and in 1922, began to include luxury women’s handbags. In 1937, one hundred years after the company was formed, the silk scarf was introduced with the first designs printed on the same silk used by the company to create jockeys’ shirts. Today, eighty two years after the Hermès scarf was introduced, nearly two thousand designs have been created for the scarf by numerous artists featuring an array of designs, which remain wildly popular in retail and vintage markets.

Our auction includes 300 Hermès scarves, which were collected and carefully preserved over many decades by a small group of collectors in the US and Canada. The scarves were created by dozens of illustrators, including Kermit Oliver, Philippe Ledoux, Zoé Pauwels, Leila Menchari, Annie Faivre and Robert Dallet, amongst many others. In addition to scarves, this auction contains many Hermès handbags, such as the popular Kelly and Birkin, as well as jewelry and clothing.
