Tourbillons VS Tourbillon (Hermès carré)

Tourbillons Hermès carré by Christiane Vauzelles (1968) – SOLD

As I was about to list this beauty in my shoppe, I became confused whether the name of this popular Vauzelles design of leaves swirling in a circle was plural or singular and realized I had at some point abandoned the plural version in favor of the singular Tourbillon. Prompted by my own curiosity and a client’s desire to know more about this stunning whirlwind of leaves, I decided to do a little research and while thumbing through my old resources … alas … I found my answer!

According to the 1985-86 issue of the Hermès’ Le Monde d’Hermès magazine the official title is in fact the plural form … Tourbillons!
