Brand: Hermès Design Title: Qu'importe le Flacon Designer: Catherine Baschet Year: 1988 (original issue) Material: 100% Silk Type: Carré 90 Dimensions: 35" x 35" (90cm x 90cm) (approx.) Exterior Color: Pink border with ivory/cream center Motif: Perfume bottles Edges: Hand-rolled hem Country of Origin: France An enduring testament to Hermès' legacy of wearable art, this carré showcases Catherine Baschet's whimsical 1988 design celebrating decorative perfume bottles from across history. The composition draws its name from Alfred de Musset's 19th-century verse, a meditation on essence over form. Rendered in silk twill, the scarf features intricate detailing across its ivory ground, bordered in soft rose, each vial and flacon captured with precision that speaks to the house's command of color separation and engraving. Since its debut, the pattern has been reissued by collector demand, a recognition of its narrative charm and graphic sophistication. The 90cm format remains Hermès' most celebrated silhouette, a piece equally suited to wear or framed display.
