Hermès Scarf - Copeaux


This dramatic scarf was designed in 1998 by Caty Latham.  The title, "Copeaux," means "Shavings" - those curls of wood when a plane scrapes wood to smooth it.  (Copeau is singular, copeaux is plural.  Both are pronounced "Cope Oh".)  There are lots of wood curls on this scarf, along with tools.









It was first issued in 1998.  It was reissued in 2000 and 2001.

The signature, Latham, is found in the bottom right corner.

The Hermès logo is found in the bottom center.  

The copyright is in the top left corner, shown below:

The care tag is stitched at the back of the top right corner:


 The title of the scarf, "Copeaux", is centered under the horse medalion in the center.

I have no idea what most of these tools are for.  I did find a plane, and dividers, and some odd hammers.  Is that a coping saw around the title?  


Figuring out these tools will be a fun exercise.

Like all Hermès scarves, this drapes beautifully.
