Scarf with Box – Made in France!
Up for sale is a
gorgeous authentic NWT HERMÈS Le Chat Carre 100% Silk Carre
scarf. This stunning carre was designed by a Parisian illustrator Florence
Manlik and issued as part of Autumn Winter 2022 collection. This design
cleverly portrays a cat who, by accident, got into its owner’s scarf box, and
decided to enjoy the space. The scarf is titled, featuring the Hermès logo, copyright, and the artist’s
signature; the edges are hand rolled, and the original Hermès store and care tags are attached. The
scarf comes in the original Hermès orange box with
tissue paper and Hermès
bolduc ribbon.
Condition: Brand New with Tags (pristine). The scarf
was purchased at the Hermès
boutique on Madison Avenue in New York, NY, and guaranteed to be authentic. It has never been worn or used and
is in pristine, gift-ready condition: the fabric is crisp with the original
folds and drapes beautifully, the hand rolled edges are plump and intact, and
the original store and care tags are attached.

The Story Behind (as
copied from the Hermès
catalog): Once
there was a cat who was looking for a cozy place to sleep, and he found himself
folded into his mistress’s scarf box. One day, he awoke to find that he had
become quite flat and square. Never one to complain, he made the best of his
bad luck: here at last was a change to show off to his friend the flying
squirrel, whose ability to stretch out his paws, flatten his fur into a square
and glide through the air had always been something the cat was envious of.
Easy to say, it stopped the squirrel in his tracks. Now there is a fable that
La Fontaine never imagined, and that Florence Malik has invented.
