Hermès Scarf 90 cm – Faune et Flore du Texas – Kermit Oliver (1987)
Created in 1987 by Kermit Oliver, the Hermès scarf Faune et Flore du Texas (Fauna and Flora of Texas) pays tribute to the 150th anniversary of the independence of this American state.

A word from Diane
This scarf is a vibrant, graphic tribute to the soul of Texas. Kermit Oliver blends natural science, personal mythology and a celebration of American lands. Faune et Flore du Texas is not just a scarf: it is a miniature fresco, a window onto the landscape and the symbols of an immense territory. A collector's piece, rare, precious and full of meaning.
