Hermès - Les Perroquets - Scarf

Item Description
Presented here is an authentic vintage Hermès Paris silk carré titled "Les Perroquets" (The Parrots), designed by Joachim Metz and first issued in 1984. This enchanting scarf features a lush, tropical composition of vivid green and turquoise parrots perched among golden-yellow foliage rendered in exquisite detail against a cream-white ground. The birds' striking blue-violet heads create a bold chromatic contrast that lends the design its unmistakable vitality and elegance.
The central medallion is framed by a classically structured Hermès border of layered gold stripes, transitioning into a wide mint-green outer band and finished with a crisp turquoise satin hem. Every detail — from the meticulously engraved feather textures to the naturalistic branch motifs — reflects the exceptional artistry for which Hermès silk carrés are celebrated worldwide.
Printed on the finest 100% silk twill and made in France, this scarf exemplifies the timeless craftsmanship that has defined the Hermès carré since its debut in 1937. The design title "Les Perroquets" is inscribed within a cartouche at the top of the inner border, and the "Hermès-Paris" signature appears at the bottom in the brand's iconic script. The designer's copyright signature "metz (c)" is visible in the lower right of the inner field.
A rare and collectible vintage colorway in luminous spring greens — an indispensable treasure for the serious Hermès collector or the lover of fine French luxury.

Artist Profile
Joachim Metz is one of the most celebrated designers in the history of Hermès silk carrés. Active from the early 1980s through the 2000s, Metz contributed numerous iconic designs to the Hermès archive, distinguished by his bold, graphic compositions and vibrant color palettes. His work frequently drew inspiration from the natural world — birds, animals, and lush botanical motifs — rendered with a distinctive energy and decorative richness. "Les Perroquets," first issued in 1984, remains one of his most sought-after designs among collectors worldwide.
