Very rear and sought after Beautiful Hermes Cashmere/Silk Shawl “Fauna et Flora du Texas” by Kermit Oliver.
Created in 1987 by Kermit Oliver, the Hermès Faune et Flore du Texas scarf pays homage to the 150th anniversary of Texas's independence. The only American artist to have collaborated with Hermès, Kermit Oliver produced a highly sought-after piece . This scarf was only produced twice in the 90 cm size: in 1987 and then in 1990. Only once in cashmere shawl. Since then, only a 70 cm version has been reissued, in 2011. The piece presented here is therefore highly prized by collectors. Super rare, impossible to find.
The background colours are white, brown, green, blue, etc.

Comes with a box.

STORY BEHIND
This scarf is a vibrant and graphic tribute to the soul of Texas. Kermit Oliver blends natural science, personal mythology, and a celebration of the American land. Texas Fauna and Flora is not just a scarf: it's a miniature fresco, a window onto the landscape and symbols of a vast territory. A rare, precious, and meaningful collector's item.
