Hymn to the carré! Since its birth in 1937, over 1500 types of squares came out in the world. Taking two years between the creation of design and its sale, the carré is made carefully one by one. Beyond a simple accessory, the carré is an infinite source of joy. The 90 x 90 space is dedicated to reveries and flow of graceful colors. Its touch is sensually pleasing. To fully enjoy every moment, let’s live with the carré and savor all the emotions of life!
- First issued in 1996
- Design by Zoe Pauwels
Installed in Perigord in the south-west of France, Zoé also like to work on all topics related to the nature. She is an artist painter with many faces, sometimes contradictory, who defies all kind of generalization. We seem to hear her voice, "No one is simple, isn’t it ...?"

Hermès
The legendary French luxury goods house began as a harness workshop in Paris in 1837. By the twenties, Hermès had the patent for the zipper in France, and introduced the first ladies’ bags with zip closures, and in 1937, the first Hermès silk scarves were born (today, a scarf is allegedly sold every twenty seconds). The company expanded into riding gloves, belts, and men’s and women's sportswear, and designed the now-famous travel trunks to meet the needs of the new automobile drivers. The Kelly bag debuted in 1956 after Grace Kelly used a large crocodile handbag to hide her pregnancy. In the seventies, the first women's shoe collection and the first complete men's ready-to-wear collection were introduced. Actress Jane Birkin replaced her old straw purse with a leather Hermès number in 1984, and started the rage that is the Birkin bag. Today the Birkin continues to have the longest waiting list of any luxury accessory. Hermès also has a complete home line, bed and bath linens, furniture, silverware, crystal and porcelain, office accessories, and baby gifts. In 2003, following Martin Margiela, Jean-Paul Gaultier joined the house as women's ready-to-wear designer, putting a high-fashion spin on the label’s equestrian roots. After departing in May 2010, Christophe Lemaire, who is best known for reviving preppy label Lacoste, took the reigns. In June 2004, perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena took a post as the in-house perfumer and launched several scents that have amassed cultish popularity. There are over 240 Hermès boutiques internationally, including a Wall Street location, the North American flagship on Madison Avenue, and in the fall of 2009, the first menswear-only boutique right across the street.
