Hermès Scarf “Grande Tenue – 1898–1998 Groupe Société Suisse” by Henri d’Origny – Collector Edition
A highly rare commemorative version of the iconic “Grande Tenue” design by Henri d’Origny, this Hermès scarf was specially created in 1998 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Swiss Insurance Group (Groupe Société Suisse).
It retains the signature composition of “Grande Tenue” — interlaced straps, buckles and harness motifs — reinterpreted here in a vibrant Hermès red with silver heraldic emblems and the central inscription 1898–1998.
This private edition, never available for sale, was offered to the Group’s collaborators to mark the occasion. Today it stands among the rarest and most collectible “Grande Tenue” variants ever produced.
