Authentic Hermès’ Le Jardin de la Maharani Shawl is more than just a pretty floral print, it’s a beautiful tribute to one of India’s advocates for women. 90cmx90cm in 100% silk in shades of raspberry, coral, and green with a contrasting turquoise hand rolled hem, this wrap was designed by Annie Faivre. In excellent condition with original tag and ribbon but no box. "Freely inspired by Mughal motifs, this scarf is dedicated to the Maharani of Jaipur, born Princess Gayatri Devi of Cooch Behar, the third wife of the Maharaja Sawai Man Singh II. Her tastes and culture were equally inspired by India and Europe. She marked her time through her political engagement and her determination to bring education to Indian women. At the beginning of the 1940s she created the girls’ school that bears her name. Twenty years later she became a Member of Parliament, elected by the largest majority in Indian history. The Maharani of Jaipur loved nature and gardens. With this scarf, Annie Faivre wanted to pay homage to her by “offering her flowers”." Purchased in Vancouver, BC in October 2017.
