About

Welcome to Carré de Paris, a blog dedicated to the exquisite HERMÈS© Carré.

After nearly fifteen years of running a thriving business dedicated to these iconic scarves, I retired at the end of 2024. My business was a dream come true, but my lifelong fascination with the Carré has only grown. Now, this blog is my space to continue sharing that passion and expertise with you, occasionally offering scarves from my personal collection for sale.

Over the years, my expertise has been featured in a number of publications. I was honored to be interviewed and quoted in the Wall Street Journal article Dr. Birx’s Scarves Are the Surprise Hit of Coronavirus Briefings. I also had the privilege of collaborating with journalist Laia Farran Graves on her beautiful and informative book, The Story of the Hermès Scarf, providing invaluable insights and photos. My work was also acknowledged in Carrés d’Art IV by Geneviève Fontan.

Here, I will be sharing the stories behind each design, uncovering the inspirations, and even connecting with the families of legendary artists like Hugo Grygkar and Philippe Ledoux. You will also find insights from my dear friend and sought-after Hermès artist, Valérie Dawlat.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. I hope you will find as much pleasure in these beautiful, wearable works of art as I do. Please, take a look around and explore the stories that make each scarf a masterpiece.

With gratitude, Ladi
