Hermès Hermes Vintage Silk Scarf Red Les Becanes 1954 Hugo Grygkar

Step into the elegance of the Belle Époque with this rare Les Bécanes silk scarf, designed by Hugo Grygkar for Hermès. Originally launched in 1954, this vintage gem pays homage to an era when the bicycle became not only a practical mode of transport but also a symbol of leisure and joy. Reprinted over the years in 1973, 1990, and 2003, it remains a beloved piece in Hermès' iconic collection, still available today for 395 euros. The scarf elegantly captures a Parisian scene from the late 19th century, where families ride on tandems, policemen cycle through the streets, and fashionable men and women enjoy a Sunday outing in their period-appropriate attire. Framing the central scene are four charming straw hats, surrounded by antique bicycles in intricate detail. The vibrant red edges offer a striking contrast to the soft, pastel hues of the design, making it an eye-catching statement piece. Crafted from 100% silk and finished with a hand-rolled hem, this scarf reflects the exceptional craftsmanship Hermès is known for. The HERMÈS Paris signature with the copyright symbol affirms its authenticity and heritage. Perfect for collectors and those who appreciate the intersection of history and fashion, the Les Bécanes scarf is a timeless tribute to a golden age in both cycling and Parisian life, offering a glimpse into the lighthearted spirit of the Belle Époque.
