This is a 100% authentic Hermès 90cm Silk Square Scarf 'George Washington's Carriage' designed by Caty Latham.

RRP £570

Depicting the carriage newly-inaugurated George Washington rode in 1789 from Federal Hall, (his New York residence), to the Federation's new capital on the banks of the Potomac River. 

From Hermes: "The crowds were ecstatic, and the presidential escort was a fine spectacle indeed. Three years later, in 1792, a watercolour signed by J. Robert Hart gave a carriage-painter’s view of the carriage of George Washington, made in London. The painting is the inspiration for this carré. We like to think that the first presidential carriage, the focal point of that historic day, looked every bit like the one shown here."

Muted tones of dark chocolate, steel grey, peachy golds, bronze and charcoal....the colours have a real retro feel and goes with everything.
