Up for sale is a marvelous authentic HERMÈS Le Potager Extraordinaire 100% Silk Carre scarf.

This design presents a vegetable garden inhabited by tiny inhabitants, who are going about their daily lives. This gorgeous square is titled, featuring Hermès logo, copyright, and the artist's signature; the edges are hand rolled. Please note that the care tag was gently removed for aesthetic purposes. The scarf comes in the original Hermès orange box with tissue paper.

Condition: Excellent pre-owned condition. The scarf is from my personal collection – it was purchased at the Hermès boutique in New York, NY, and is guaranteed to be authentic. It was carefully worn a couple of times, and professionally dry-cleaned for the sale. It is in mint condition - the fabric drapes beautifully, the edges are plump and full; further, there are no spots or pulls. The care tag was gently removed for aesthetic purposes. Please note that the box has minor storage wear, such as dents and creases. Having said that, may I ask you to please review all pictures carefully as they are a part of the description, and I do not accept returns.

The Story Behind (as told in the Hermès catalog): Like the island of Lilliput, discovered by Lemuel Gulliver in the course of his extraordinary travels, as related by Jonathan Swift, the inhabitants of Pierre Marie’s imagined city are “lilliputian” (tiny) indeed. The design presents the delightful spectacle of their daily lives. In this childlike world of transformations and metamorphoses, a vegetable garden becomes a complex city inhabited by creatures identical to ourselves in every way, but who are no more than an inch or two in height. Flowing with water thanks to an ingenious irrigation system doubling as a water-slide, the city’s dwelling places are clearly named: Cucumis melo (a melon), foeniculum (a fennel bulb), or cucrbita maxima (a pumpkin). Take time to look around – there are surprises and delights at every turn. Lovers meet in the shade of a grove of leeks, a man sits meditating at the heart of a lotus-shaped artichoke, a marrow is cut to form a care, and a minuscule duo set to work slicing a radish with a two-handled saw…
