Hermès Grèce 1821 Vintage Silk Scarf — Blue & Gold (1981)

An extraordinary collector’s piece, this rare Hermès carré was issued in 1981 to commemorate the 160th anniversary of the Greek War of Independence. Produced in extremely limited quantities, it is almost never seen on the market today, making it one of the most sought-after Greek-themed Hermès designs.

This variation features a pale cream and sky-blue background with a deep navy border. The central composition depicts Greek revolutionaries on horseback in terracotta and chestnut hues, wearing white and navy traditional dress, framed by ornamental swords, firearms, and sashes in radiant gold, cobalt blue, and silver-grey. Bright and regal, this edition perfectly balances lightness with richness.

Crafted on luxurious Hermès silk twill with the maison’s signature hand-rolled edges, this scarf represents both an investment-grade collectible and a wearable work of art.

Because of its rarity and historic theme, the Hermès “Grèce 1821” scarf often commands prices well above standard vintage Hermès carrés, with serious collectors valuing it as a museum-worthy treasure.
