Hermès’ silk comes back as a console, folding screen and mirror under sustainable sister line Petit h


Hermès takes a stab at sustainability yet again. The luxury label’s sister line, Petit h, which creates covet-ables from cast-offs, got its petit hands on one of the company’s most iconic products, the silk carré! So after a $100,000 Panda bear, among other things of discarded materials, the line created some papier de soie this time. And up with the label for this up-cycling venture is interior design duo Nicolas Daul and Julien Demanche, who further fashioned objects out of the silk paper.

The waste silk was first transformed to floss, which inspired the designers to seek an artisanal papermaker to make it into tissue paper, what with it being 90 percent silk. Produced naturally to preserve the fibers, the silk paper was then preened, re-preened, and reproduced as a console, folding screen, and mirror. These rich reincarnations of silk will be on display at Hermès’ Rue de Sèvres boutique in Paris from October 17 to December 2.
