The limited edition Hermès Carré Brandebourg silk scarf has been reissued in Germany. Originally designed by Cathy Latham-Audibert in 1972, the motif is inspired by drawings of military uniforms in the Émile Hermès collection. Retaining imperial prestige, the pictured dolman jacket is embellished with brandebourgs, or ornamental plaits used as buttonholes, which originated in Brandenburg, Germany. A piece of fashion history, the Carré Brandebourg is an impeccable addition to your sartorial ranks
From "The Lesser Bourgeoise" by Honore de Balzac,
the great French novelist:
"The frock coat, soaked by many a down-pour,
with its brandebourgs, the frogs of which were
indiscreet enough to show their skeletons,
testified by its cut to departed elegance."
It will enjoy a collector!
