Hermès Palermo Botanical Garden Velvet Shawl

Capturing the vibrant life of the Mediterranean within a small space. François Houtin, using the nib of his pen to draw inspiration from nature, sketches the romantic contours of 18th-century Baroque architecture amidst the layered greenery of lush banyan trees and the upright forms of palm and iron trees — as if the stone windowframes and entwined vines are whispering softly, while classical colonnades dance with tropical ferns in the Sicilian sea breeze. This botanical epic on fabric carries the fervour of scientific exploration and the poetic play of light and shadow observed by the artist wandering through arcades. This velvet botanical sanctuary can be worn as a landscape flowing over the shoulders.
