Description:
A hair accessory, Hermes. Features buffalo horn filigree design with 'H' in the centre. Measurements 15 x 7 cm. Dustbag and box. The renown of the Vietnamese as experts in crafting buffalo horn reaches back to the dawn of time. South of Saigon, a small group of passionate artisans keeps this traditional know-how alive for Hermes. Each piece of horn is carefully selected, carved, warmed to create a shape, then crafted and polished. Over the course of these numerous complex operations, it becomes a unique and delicate jewel. Horn is a noble, living material that may change slightly in certain climatic conditions (humidity, heat). Clean with a soft cloth or chamois.
