Description

Vintage finds exclusively ours.  Our vintage Hermes scarf animal menagerie is sustainably sourced, locally made with a history and story to be told. 

Reimagined from the world’s finest collection of vintage Hermes scarves, our stuffed animal is the perfect gift or decorative accent.

One-of-a-kind from a vintage Hermès Feux d'Hiver scarf, each piece is unique handmade in a family owned workshop in South Carolina.

Graceful, loyal, and resilient, our penguin carries with it a quiet strength and timeless symbolism. In cultures and modern interpretations alike, the penguin represents the kind of luck that matters most—steadfast love, enduring friendship, and the courage to thrive in any season.

Balance & Harmony
With its striking black-and-white coloring, the penguin embodies the energy of balance—reminding us to stay centered, grounded, and calm, no matter what life brings.

Resilience & Good Fortune
Surviving—and thriving—in some of Earth’s most extreme conditions, penguins are seen as symbols of courage and perseverance. They represent the good fortune that follows when we adapt, endure, and move forward with heart.

Loyalty & Connection
Penguins are deeply social and famously loyal, often forming lifelong bonds. They speak to the beauty of connection—of showing up for one another, again and again.

A Gift with Meaning
Whether given in celebration, in comfort, or as a token of encouragem

Story Behind The Scarf

The Feux de l'Hiver (Winter Fires) scarf was designed by Christiane Vauzelles and first issued in 1981, featuring a unique snowflake design in each grid cell. This theme draws on the cozy and visually distinct elements of winter, contrasting the cold outdoors with the warmth of indoor fires, or the "winter fires" of its name.

FROM THE FOUNDER

I won't list a piece I wouldn't put in my own home. Twenty years of luxury retail taught me what authentic looks like — and what doesn't.
