About the Design
The theme of Jeu Des Omnibus et Dames Blanches, the first Hermès scarf (1937), was taken from a 1800s board game in Émile Hermès’ personal antiques collection. The spiral composition features men and women at a gaming table, with the words above translating to “a good player never loses his temper.” Surrounding them is a carriage ("les Omnibus") which would become of of Hermès beloved symbols. The carriage played a role in the game which involved competing transportation companies.
