Brides de Gala (1957) | HERMESOLOGY

WELCOME

This is the website of seton. I have been a Hermes devotee all of my life and a collector for half of it. This site mostly exists to keep record of my notes. Hermes is a very old company and it's hard to keep track of their vast offerings.

Hello,
Does the Brides de Gala scarf exist without the thin contrast line between the border and the cream inside?
Thanks,
