The Story Behind (as copied from the Hermès Autumn Winter 2000/2001 Carre catalog): The carre borrows its title from the epithet “The man with wind for his soles” that Verlaine has used of his friend, the travel poet Rimbaud. It pays homage to Alexandra David-Neel (1868-1969), the explorer, versed in knowledge, who studies oriental philosophies and covered thousands of kilometers crossing Central Asia and the Far East. Like the rugs and clothing of these regions, the carre is bordered with fur bands, here printed on the silk, and embroidered braids, mixing ethnic, geometric, or floral patterns, interspersed with pieces of gold work, charms and earrings of silver, coral and turquoise.
