Buckles, riding-crops, finely-decorated head-pieces,
bridles, reins and snaffle bits… From the outset, the house of Hermès has
celebrated the art of bridlery, contributing to elevate it to the noble status
it deserves. Each piece, from the simplest to the most complex design, demands
faultless expertise for the well-being of mount and rider alike. Drawing on
this rich repertoire, Virgine Jamin offers a contemporary take on these
timeless motifs, a spiralling portrait of rings and plaits… Leaving nothing to chance,
the silhouettes of some of the house’s iconic objects have been added to the
mix in the form of leather fobs or lucky charms – a little horse, a stirrup, a
tall riding-hat, finished with the inimitable saddle stitch.
