Story about the Design: Inspired by the coats of arms seen on traditional horse blankets, the Avalon design became an iconic Hermès home signature, with the “H” motif appearing in negative on the reverse thanks to jacquard weaving. The name “Avalon” references the legendary British island from Arthurian literature, said to be where Excalibur was forged. In the baby format, Hermès presents it as a softer, nursery-friendly extension of the iconic Avalon universe.
Artist's Story: Hermès Studio is the house’s in-studio creative team credit used across many Hermès designs (including home objects and textiles), developing enduring house graphics while also supporting collaborations and special projects.
Craftsmanship Note: Woven on a jacquard loom so the design is fully reversible (the pattern reads in negative on the back), giving the blanket a true double-faced finish rather than a printed surface. Crafted in a warm merino wool and cashmere blend for softness and structure, and produced in Great Britain in keeping with the Avalon line’s heritage weaving tradition.
