Brand: Hermès Design Title: Etriers (Stirrups) Designer: Françoise de la Perrière Original Issue Year: 1964 Material: Silk twill Dimensions: 35" x 35" (90cm x 90cm, approx.) Exterior Colors: Coral red, gold, cream, black/navy Edge Finish: Hand-rolled Country of Origin: France The Etriers design stands among the most iconic motifs in the Hermès silk scarf canon. First issued in 1964, the pattern draws directly from founder Émile Hermès' personal collection of equestrian objects, depicting sixteen stirrups spanning the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Each stirrup represents a distinct tradition—French, Spanish, Middle Eastern, South American—rendered in exacting detail that captures floral engraving, star motifs, and mythical beasts wrought in precious metal. At the composition's heart, a monumental Peruvian pyramid-form stirrup commands the field, surrounded by smaller examples that trace the technical and aesthetic evolution of the form across continents. The coral-red border and luminous gold-on-cream palette lend warmth and graphic clarity to this celebration of craftsmanship and the equestrian heritage that remains inseparable from the house itself.
