Hermès Brandebourgs Carré 90 Silk Twill Scarf, Gold Military Frogging on Blush Pink

A cavalry officer’s dress jacket, all gold braid, toggles and frogged loops, flattened onto blush-pink silk.

The Piece

Brandebourgs are the looped braid fastenings of a hussar’s jacket, and the carré draws one whole tunic front at the centre, each cord knotted, each button domed in gold, with more braid trailing into the corners.

The pink ground softens the military subject; tied at the neck the gold knots fall exactly where jewellery would.

A carré 90, cut from silk twill with hand-rolled edges, about 90 cm (35.4 in) square.
