Key Brand / Design Information
“Les Beaux Jours de Bonsai” was designed by Catherine Baschet and issued around 1991/92. In 1991, Hermès featured Asia as a thematic direction, and this scarf was part of that collection. The design draws from the Japanese art of bonsai — shaping nature into miniature, living art — and translates that into a refined textile composition. Hermès carrés are celebrated for their narrative, precision printing, and artisanal finishing; each design becomes a piece of wearable art.
Condition & Authenticity Statement
All items have been carefully inspected for authenticity. As this is a pre-owned / vintage piece, it may show subtle signs of wear — such as faint discolouration, slight edge softening, or tiny snags in the silk. The example listing notes “faint discoloration on the right side” as a pre-owned condition detail but with still crisp hems and good drape. When purchasing vintage silk carrés, buyers should expect that gentle care and occasional professional cleaning will be needed to preserve the scarf’s condition over time.
