Excerpt from the Hermès booklet Autumn-Winter 1997–1998:
“Africa, cradle of humanity… One sometimes regrets that mankind, in its youth, has so violently cast aside its innocence. Yet wildlife still bestows all its nobility upon this endless continent, set ablaze by a golden sun. Fauna and flora unite in a shimmering vibration of variegated air, which lays upon the burning savannah and the dreamy cheeks of the great lakes the mirage of an untouched paradise.”
