I love this fun little printed cotton piece from the house of Hermes. The choice of fabric gives it an instant sense of luxury and chicness and that combined with the color and print are fantastic. The cut is very simple with wide straps and a loose shift shape. It makes a fantastic and chic little day dress or you can wear it to the beach or even as a more casual evening piece.  I love the bright sailboats and the printed logo at the side that proclaims it as Hermes if someone did not already recognize the sailboat print. It has a matching swatch of fabric that I used  as a headscarf for a touch of extra glam. It feels very jet set with that rich luxurious feel that house always seems to infuse into its goods. Really a wonderful and chic dress. Good condition with small notes below. 

Unlined and wraps to close with a series of buttons down the side as seen. There is the slight fading along the dark blue edges here and there with slightly more under each arm. The scarf edges are hand stitched and show slight fraying here and there.
