Description
History of the Model: Hermès has been recognized since the 1940s for its silk ties with original patterns, often inspired by the animal world, the equestrian world or nature. The motif represented here – a set of cows and frogs – is part of this humorous and graphic tradition specific to the house. These patterns were often designed by in-house artists like Philippe Ledoux or Henri d’Origny, and produced in limited series, which makes them sought after today by collectors and vintage enthusiasts. External Details: The tie is cut from quality heavy silk, characteristic of Hermès productions of past decades. The navy blue background serves as a canvas for a repeating pattern of cows and frogs in gradient blue and white tones. The regularity of the printing testifies to the artisanal know-how of the Lyon workshops used by the brand. The finishes are neat, with hand stitching on the back and a tone-on-tone navy blue interior lining. Interior Details: The interior is lined with a stiffer silk which helps maintain the shape of the knot and ensures a beautiful drape. The Hermès Paris logo as well as the composition and manufacturing label are visible on the back of the main blade, reinforcing the authenticity of the piece. The absence of fraying or internal folds indicates good conservation. Product Condition: This tie is in very good vintage condition. No noticeable rips, stains or discoloration are visible. Silk retains all its fluidity and shine, with perfect support. The stitching is intact, and the tips show no signs of wear. Care Instructions: It is recommended to have this tie dry cleaned by a professional specializing in delicate textiles, in order to preserve the silk fibers and the colors of the pattern. Avoid tying it too tightly to maintain its original shape, and store it flat or hanging to avoid wrinkles. Why Choose this Product: This vintage Hermès tie with a cow and frog motif perfectly illustrates the iconic approach of the house: combining subtle humor and textile excellence. It is an original piece that stands out in a classic outfit, ideal for vintage lovers looking for a distinctive touch without ostentation. Its rarity, its remarkable condition and the richness of its pattern make it a collector’s accessory as well as a lasting style element.
