Description
History of the Model: Since the 1970s, Hermès has established its printed silk ties as stylish objects in their own right, combining artisanal rigor and visual imagination. Animal motifs – elephants, frogs, dogs or here hippos – have become emblematic of the house’s offbeat approach in its lines of men’s accessories. This model, with its humorous theme mixing flora and fauna, is part of the collections produced between the end of the 1990s and the 2000s, a period during which the creativity of Hermès designs reached a peak of diversity. Exterior Details: The tie is distinguished by its light blue background, printed with repetitive rows of brown/gray hippos and blue cacti. The composition is balanced and rhythmic, creating an original look that can easily be integrated into a formal outfit. The silk has a beautiful shine, characteristic of Hermès twill ties, and the inner tip is lined in a plain blue silk satin. Interior Details: The tie is fully lined, guaranteeing good knot hold and a clean drape. It has two labels: one woven “Hermès Paris – Made in France”, and a second with the model number “7060 FA”. The stitching is done by hand, in accordance with the house’s manufacturing standards. Product Condition: This model is in very good vintage condition. The silk has no tears, stains or deformation. The edges are sharp, the colors well preserved. No visible signs of wear to report. Care Instructions: It is recommended to have this tie dry cleaned only, by a professional specializing in delicate textiles. To avoid marking the silk, do not overtighten the knot and alternate folding. Store flat or hung to preserve its shape. Why Choose this Product: This vintage Hermès tie combines the discreet humor of an animal motif with the finesse of high-quality silk. It’s a perfect piece for lovers of original accessories, collectors of Hermès ties or those who want to add a personal touch to a formal outfit. Its rarity and impeccable condition make it a durable and identifiable piece.
