Hermès Paris “Gibiers” by Henri de Linares – A Wildly Elegant Classic

There are Hermès scarves — and then there are those that feel like they belong in a cabinet of curiosities. “Gibiers”, designed by H. de Linares and first issued in 1966, is one of the most intricate and painterly carré compositions ever created. This one is a showstopper.

A riot of detail rendered in golden ochre and terracotta, the design depicts a lavish still life of wild game birds and hare, woven with almost Flemish intensity. Every feather, every downy edge, is illustrated with the kind of reverence one gives to Renaissance tapestries. Linares — a master of naturalist composition — signed this piece as one might a painting, and rightly so.

Crafted in pure silk twill with hand-rolled edges, this vintage carré is the kind collectors covet: rich in colour, rich in narrative, and fully evocative of mid-century French sporting luxury.

Frame it. Wear it. Archive it. But above all — respect it.
