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.

In Flora y Plata, Virginie Jamin takes equestrian inspiration across the Atlantic. Hermès associates the design with the gauchos of Argentina and identifies the Eguiguren brothers’ collection as its source. The house names reins, stirrups, braided straps, whips and woven textiles among the objects Jamin selected. The starting point is therefore a collection of made things, rather than an unspecified image of travel.^[1]

That distinction offers a useful way into the work. Read as an encounter with objects, the design asks us to consider how practical equipment can also carry visual knowledge: a braid, a woven surface or a shaped fitting becomes something worth attending to in its own right. This is an interpretation of the documented selection, not an identification of additional motifs.

Hermès presents the result as an artistic exchange between two sides of the Atlantic. The appeal of that framing lies in its attention to making. A viewer can approach the design as a conversation between equestrian traditions, while resisting the temptation to let a single decorative object stand for an entire country or culture.^[1]
