DESIGN HISTORY (From 'How to Wear Your Hermes Scarf', 1986):
"Ever since 'La Belle Epoque', the Longchamps racetrack in the Bois de Boulogne has figured socially in the lives of elegant Parisians. And almost as glittering as the races was the Promenade de Longchamps, were resplendent carriages brought the beau monde to their beloved track. Those carriages, all from the late 19th century, glide gracefully on this scarf. How lovely the soft, muted hues look. A perfect example of the time and patience given to each scarf, it takes 25 color applications to give 'Promenade de Longchamps' it's depth and luster."
