Les Chants du Henné, The Songs of Henna, is a design by Toutsy [More on the artist] and was issued in 2002.
Laurence Thioune or Laurence Bourthoumieux is simply known as Toutsy for short and is responsible for a number of fabulous and much loved Hermès designs. [Toutsy’s short bio].
Les Chants du Henne was issued in 2002, the year of the Hand at Hermès.
Madama Bourthoumieux chose the hands of an Indian bride as the focus of her design.
In the Indian tradition, extensive and intricate henna patterns are drawn on the bride’s hands and feet before her wedding for the Mehndi (henna) Night. During this night she, together with her family, relatives and friends, celebrates her upcoming wedding with games, song and dance.
According to tradition, the bride is excused from any household chores as long as the henna stays on. (lucky girl :-)…)
