Designed in 1982 by Loïc Dubigeon , Voyages en Russie was initially published under the title Voyages Slaves , then renamed in 1983 —a rare occurrence for Hermès—to its current name (and again in 1993 and 1996). This scarf is now highly sought after by collectors for its poetic quality and the unique nature of its publishing history.
The square features a series of Russian horse-drawn carriages, illustrating the public transport of yesteryear. The sleighs gliding on the snow convey all the poetic nostalgia for the vast Slavic landscapes, so dear to the collective imagination. Each scene seems suspended in time, between tradition, winter silence, and popular elegance.
The palette is polychrome: bright and contrasting tones enlivened by an ivory background and a small blue border, which delicately frames the composition.
Condition: Excellent. This scarf has been entrusted to our specialist Hermès scarf dry cleaners and then carefully ironed before being offered for sale. You will receive it clean, well-maintained, ready to wear or give as a gift.

Art and History of this Hermès Scarf
With Voyages en Russie (Journeys in Russia ), Loïc Dubigeon captures the Slavic soul through a series of vignettes depicting traditional Russian transport, with its horses, sleighs, and scenes of daily life. Beneath the apparent documentary simplicity of the theme lies a true homage to rural Russia, its vast winters, its remote villages, and its way of life, a blend of hardship and poetry.
