This Hermes model, in the color of your choice, closes in the front with a belt and a bow tie buckle. The belt usually matches the tie or blouse. Finally, let's talk today about a clutch that is becoming a favorite of Parisian women. It is made of a fancy leather imitation guilloche, and instead of a clasp, it buckles by attaching the flap of the bag with a belt that crosses and passes through a double plain silver buckle without the small designs that we see on the leather. Inside, there are all the makeup gadgets that some fashionable girls use where they can be seen by the most curious people. For a while, this fashion of touching up makeup in public was considered a bad practice, which became very widespread" Translated from the Spanish.

GF Desire comes first. This inner strength, which has been with me since I was young, allows me to achieve my goals in general. In "bargain hunting" mode, I don't know anyone anymore and auctions are a perilous slide when I venture on this ground. I am very moved when I have the opportunity to buy directly from families who own old pieces. Almost intrusive, I question to know everything about the object that will be welcomed in my collection. I am very excited when I am contacted and overjoyed when I get my way. When the Internet did not exist, the world and the international art market were in limbo. The rarity and interest of objects was unknown. Now we have a vision of the market in the world. We know the rarity and value of the pieces and make our acquisitions accordingly. Claire B You have written nearly a hundred books, notably on Hermès objects. It's a fascinating but laborious job. How do you go about it? GF It's a logical continuation and a desire to share and draw into my universe the people who read me. A way to communicate the taste of collecting to all those who have the desire to discover the flavors of the life of a collector in everyday life. There is no stress or constraint in what I do.

  • Xavier de Poret - 20th century wildlife painter - Carrés Hermès - collection - patrimoine

    Xavier de Poret, a 20th-century animal painter, is one of the favourite designers of the Carrés Hermès collectors. Les Huppes (lot 90 vente du 15 décembre 2021) Nom d'un chien ! (French expression for: a great astonishment) The names of the squares were given by Hermès when they were created. To the painter's astonishment, the pigeons became turtledoves, the dachshunds were called bassets and the roe deer, hinds! Carrés d'art has kept the official name given by Hermès. The scarf "les tourterelles" so named by Hermès represents doves. The "bassets" scarf represents dachshunds. These are the two dachshunds of Xavier de Poret's wife, named "Ariette" and "Sophie". The deer scarf represents roe deer No cats at Xavier de Poret Xavier de Poret has never designed cats for a Hermès square. It was his brother Jacques de Poret who drew "Chats persans", the only square by Jacques de Poret for Hermès. (source: Roselyne de Poret, daughter of the artist) An update on an enigmatic square The scarf representing "horse and hounds", drawn and signed by Xavier de Poret, was printed in 200 copies in several colours by the Colcombet firm in Lyon (source: François de Poret, son of the artist). It is not part of the Hermès collection. opposite: Horse and pack dogs, partial view without borders Xavier de Poret (1894-1975) Xavier de Poret was the son of Maurice de Poret and Hélène de Mousin de Bernecourt. He grew up in the castle of Face-Les-Lys near Fontainebleau. Very early on he developed a gift for drawing. Surrounded by stables and aviaries, he had models to draw throughout his career as an animal artist, studying the attitudes and poses of animals in fascinating detail and realism. In 1920, he married Juliette d'Onciaux de la Bâtie. They settled in Riaz in Gruyère, Switzerland, where she owned the Château de Plaisance, the former residence of the bishops of Lausanne. He painted equestrian pictures of Queen Elizabeth II and her children, as well as portraits of Belgian and Luxembourg sovereigns, which earned him recognition as a "great worldly portraitist". Poret family archives At the sale to be held in Cannes on 15 December 2021, auctioneer Thierry Noudel-Deniau will present a group of drawings and scarves by the artist, including exceptional pieces from the Poret family. A rare print on unrolled satin representing "Les Coqs de Bruyère", kept by the author, will be included in this exceptional sale.

  • 25• Jacqueline Delubac actress, wife of Sacha Guitry - Art Cinema Theatre Fashion Elegance Hermès

    Jacqueline Delubac (1907-1997) was the third wife of Sacha Guitry Gaby Morlay and Jacqueline Delubac with her bag, a novelty from Hermès in 1936. Jacqueline Delubac and Sacha Guitry Jacqueline Delubac is a French actress. I want to dance, to have fun with people my own age," she declared before parting with the illustrious 50-year-old. Jacqueline Delubac The young woman is ingenious, and determined. Her assets, combined with her beauty, ensure her a future free of gloom. Jacqueline Delubac is a French actress. She was born on 27 May 1907 in Lyon into a bourgeois family and moved to Paris in 1927. She took dance and singing lessons and quickly obtained roles in revues, theatre and cinema. Introduced to Sacha Guitry by one of his friends, Jacques Trébor, SG offered her a role in "Villa à vendre" (1931). She accepted. They fell in love. They married on 21 February 1935 and went through a divorce in 1939. "I can no longer live centred on this theatre life. I have too many curiosities, too many desires. I want to dance, to have fun with companions of my own age", she declared before separating from the illustrious fifty-year-old. Clutch bag Hermès 24 FG ST HONORE crocodile porosus - silver clasp, cira 1930, having belonged to Jacqueline Delubac Jacqueline Delubac - Years 1930 Press clipping 1977 Egeria of French good taste She played in 23 of Sacha Guitry's plays and acted in 11 of his films. After her divorce, she hardly acted in more than ten films to devote herself to her modern art collections, having made the voluntary and audacious choice to move on. At the time, she was one of the most attractive French women. Her wardrobe, made up of pieces from the great couturiers, was in exquisite taste; she wore shoes from Vivier, Perugia and other great boot makers, bought her trunks and wardrobe from Louis Vuitton and her bags, gloves and accessories from Hermès. Paris Match,nN° 36 du 26 novembre 1949 - La Mode de Jacqueline Delubac à New York" In 1949, Paris Match magazine voted her "the best dressed woman in Paris". The magazine knows a lot! Always present behind the lens at social evenings, openings and exhibitions, the flashes of the magazine's photographers crackled as she passed. She made the headlines in Paris. Her elegance and distinction were to be the order of the day until her accidental death in 1997. Death at the Faubourg As she was leaving the Hermès boutique in the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, a cyclist hit her head on the road. She was 90 years old at the time. After Guitry From the 1940s onwards, more keen than ever on modern art, she acquired paintings in this vein. Her first acquisition was a Dufy "L'Atelier aux raisins" in 1942. Modigliani, Picasso, Dubuffet, Rouault, Fautrier, Bacon... joined her collection, making her home more than a museum, a "sanctuary". The pieces in her collection would prove to be masterpieces. Georges Braque (1882-1963), "Woman at the easel", 1936. Oil on canvas, 92.5 x 92.5 cm. Jacqueline Delubac legacy, 1997. Lyon, Musée des Beaux-Arts Fragment of Claude Monet's "Le déjeuner sur l'herbe" when he was in Jacqueline Delubac's Quai d'Orsay flat. At the same time, she became the companion of a wealthy diamond dealer of Armenian origin, Mihran Eknayan. They married in Neuilly in 1981. Eknayan was also an art lover and had a large collection of Impressionist paintings. He died in 1985. She inherited his fortune and his collection of paintings and gave an important piece of her late husband's collection to the French State: a major fragment of Claude Monet's painting "Le Déjeuner sur l'herbe". At the same time she moved into a large flat on the Quai d'Orsay. Succession In 1993, Jacqueline Delubac bequeathed most of the works in the Delubac-Eknayan collection, 35 paintings, to the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, her home town. As for her personal collection of clothes, from the 1960s to the 1990s, more than 600 pieces, it went to the Musée de la Mode et du Textile in Paris. Three Hermès bags that belonged to him were sold at an auction at the Metz auction house in April 2021.

  • Callot Soeurs at the origin of the Hermes Dog Collar belt

    THE PERFUMES OF COUTURIERS Fashion Perfume Bottle Hermès Couture Dog collar Médor Years 1925 Presentation Callot Soeurs is a French fashion house opened in 1895, 24 rue Taitbout in Paris 9e, founded by four sisters. The eldest of the sisters, Marie (wife Gerber), who showed a taste for dressmaking at a very young age, was trained by her mother, a lacemaker. Madeleine Vionnet was an apprentice at Callot Soeurs until 1906 and had nothing but good things to say about this fashion house. In 1914, the small company, in full expansion, moved to large premises at 9-11 Avenue Matignon. In 1920 Marie Gerber took over the business under her own name until her death in 1927. Her son, Pierre, succeeded her in 1928. He was hit hard by the 1929 crisis and had to sell. Bought in 1937 by Marie-Louise Calvet, the Callot Soeurs company closed in 1953. In 1988, the Lummen family bought the rights to Callot Soeurs, then in 1995 those of Madeleine Vionnet.

An idea by Callot Soeurs In 1927, the most daring of the Callot sisters, Marie Gerber, was looking for a belt to accessorise her designs. She asked Hermès to extend a dog collar with studs and bells to make a belt. With its legendary flair, Hermès produced its first belt in the Collier de chien style in 1949, called Créneau. The model evolved into a bracelet, a model that is always avant-garde at Hermès, under very evocative names.
