Style Edit: Hermès’ Into the Horsescape collection is an ode to its equestrian roots
The collection reimagines harnesses, saddles, ropes and other emblematic horse-riding gear as refined jewellery pieces
For Hermès, the horse has always been more than an emblem. It has been at the heart of the Parisian maison. Long before it became synonymous with leather bags and silk scarves, Hermès was crafting harnesses and saddlery for Europe’s finest riders. That equestrian heritage continues to shape everything the house creates, including its latest high jewellery collection, Into the Horsescape.
The ninth Haute Bijouterie collection, designed by Pierre Hardy, doesn’t celebrate the horse in an obvious way. Instead, the collection captures the spirit of the animal through the objects that surround it – horse bits, stirrups, harnesses, saddles, nails and ropes – reimagining these everyday elements as refined works of jewellery.
