Exceptional Hermès Bolduc Changeante Poncho in changeant silk mousseline, richly embroidered with silver sequins.
Embroidering silk mousseline is considered a remarkable technical achievement due to the extreme delicacy and transparency of the fabric. The level of craftsmanship required to execute such intricate hand embroidery while preserving the fluidity of the silk is exceptional.
This spectacular collector piece measures approximately 140 x 140 cm and required countless hours of meticulous hand embroidery in India. The elegant Etoupe colourway, combined with the extraordinary craftsmanship, makes it one of the most remarkable Hermès textile creations of its era.
Originally retailed at €4,900 (approximately $5,500) more than ten years ago. To put this into perspective, current embroidered Hermès scarves measuring only 90 cm can retail for over $4,500 today. Given its much larger 140 x 140 cm format and extensive hand embroidery, this poncho represents a level of craftsmanship rarely seen in contemporary production.
This example has one repaired hole, fully reflected in the asking price. A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional Hermès collector piece for a fraction of both its original retail price and the cost of comparable embroidered Hermès creations today.
