It features a dynamic equestrian scene with multiple jockeys on horseback, frozen in mid-gallop, creating a strong sense of motion across the design. The horses and riders are arranged diagonally across a vivid green background, intersected by bold stripes of red, white, and blue, as well as pinstripes that emphasize the forward motion of the race. The overall composition captures the energy and drama of a horse race, with the horses and riders depicted in great detail, each in distinctive racing silks. The scarf is bordered in a deep navy blue with a thin golden edge, giving it a refined finish. In the bottom right corner, it is marked with “Hermès Paris,” confirming its authenticity. Crafted from luxurious silk, the scarf is the standard 85x85 cm carré size and features the hand-rolled edges typical of Hermès scarves. This design is both a tribute to equestrian tradition and a timeless fashion statement, prized by collectors for its vibrant storytelling and classic French elegance.
