Story about the Design: Lettres Équestres draws from 19th-century illustrated product catalogues and imagines that these artisan albums might have hidden coded messages. The design transforms Hermès equestrian objects, harness elements, straps, and saddlery details into stylised letters. Hermès describes the motif as connected to the Émile Hermès collection and to the idea of deciphering a secret “magic word” that restores the harness to its full glory.
Artist's Story: This design is credited to Hermès Studio / Studio Dessins rather than to a named individual artist. Hermès describes Studio Dessins as a Paris-based graphic creation studio whose team includes graphic designers, art directors, and specialists who develop drawings into Hermès objects and manage an archive of thousands of designs. For Lettres Équestres, the internal studio language is especially appropriate: the motif directly reflects the Maison’s saddlery heritage and turns equestrian equipment into clean, graphic typography.
