Brief creation story

The story, in brief

This note has its own sources and limits. The inherited catalogue metadata elsewhere on this page remains provisional.

Cliquetis Bandana carries a story of metal ornaments into silk. On the inspected bandana page, Hermès credits Julie Abadie and describes her 1972 arrangement of engraved daggers, drawn from pen-and-ink images in albums of the Émile Hermès collection. The same account describes this bandana version through stars, pompons, chains, cords and buckles, giving the composition an imagined metallic rhythm.^[1]

The date requires care. It belongs to the source composition in Hermès’s account, not to a confirmed launch date for the bandana. The documented object, reference H044393S 09, is a French-made, hand-rolled silk-twill bandana with listed dimensions of 55 by 55 centimeters, subject to variation because of the hand-rolled finish. Its relationship to the earlier design is retained as a version, not collapsed into a single undifferentiated edition.^[1]

That tension is part of the appeal: hard objects imagined on a soft surface and an older drawing given another way to be worn.

First-edition year: not established by these sources.
