“HERMÈS” 00’s-10’s Cashmere silk ribbed V-neck cardigan

“HERMÈS” 00s–10s Cashmere silk ribbed V-neck cardigan

Since its founding in 1837 as a harness workshop in Paris, HERMÈS has continued to pursue timeless elegance, built on exceptional craftsmanship and carefully selected materials. We are pleased to present a distinguished piece in which high-quality materials and refined color harmonize beautifully.

Centered on an exquisite palette of deep gray with subtle khaki nuances, this piece—estimated to have been crafted from the mid-2000s to the mid-2010s—features a three-dimensional texture created by delicate rib knitting, along with a neat V-neck silhouette for a balanced, polished look.

First and foremost is the luxurious blend of 70% cashmere and 30% silk. Enjoy the beautiful drape that naturally follows the body’s movements, as well as a smooth, refined feel—thanks to the plush softness characteristic of cashmere and the supple elegance that silk brings.

In addition, fine rib-knit detailing runs from the bodice down through the sleeves. The knit lines that flow vertically create subtle shadows and depth, forming a captivating look that goes beyond a plain knit, while also delivering a visually tidy finish.

In particular, the V-neck is gently and gradually opened from the neckline toward the chest. Together with a wider front placket, it lends crisp definition to the soft knit fabric while creating a refined balance that beautifully frames the neck.

Also attractive are the glossy metal buttons placed at the front. Their understated sheen adds a quiet highlight to the muted color tone, bringing out the beauty of the material itself and adding a subtle accent to the simplicity of the design.

The sleeves are designed slightly longer, and switching the rib at the cuffs creates a natural, flattering fit around the hands. With just enough ease also given through the bodice, the cardigan maintains its softness while offering a crisp, jacket-like polish.

Furthermore, this item is thought to have been made from the period after 2004—around the time of the Golte d? Jean era—and into the subsequent years. In addition to the brand tag specifications, where “HERMÈS PARIS” and “MADE IN ITALY” are separated and positioned, it is also notable that the Japanese laundry care instructions used before the standard revisions in 2016 can be confirmed, making this an important clue for estimating the production date.

Above all, the unique appeal of this distinguished piece lies in how it translates high-quality materials—cashmere and silk—into an everyday design with restrained decoration. You can naturally feel the Maison’s long-standing commitment to achieving both practicality and beauty in today’s wardrobe as well.

For styling, you can pair it with wool wide slacks or a long skirt to enjoy the contrast between the softness of the fabric and a neat silhouette. Alternatively, layering it with a shirt and finishing with a long coat creates an outfit that evokes the classic elegance for which HERMÈS is known. A piece you can enjoy for years, it elevates your everyday look subtly, regardless of gender.

We encourage you to take this opportunity.
