HERMÈS silk scarf 'CHEMINS DE CORAIL', by Annie Faivre, design first published in 2016. Current retail price: €530. 100% silk. Inspired by her childhood in Africa, Annie Faivre drew on names steeped in memory. Corals were long considered minerals or plants and were only classified as animals in the 18th century. They are among the oldest marine organisms and usually live in colonies that form reefs. The largest is the Great Barrier Reef off Australia, which is now threatened by pollution and global warming. 90 x 90 cm. Hand-rolled hems. Box included. Signs of wear present.
