How to buy your own Hermès handbag – top tips from a collector

Among the specific pieces, just the plates alone illustrate the range of engaging variations found in the designs and the thought that has gone into them. Dinner plates come with a delicate interlocking pattern arranged around a white centre in a doughnut shape. Then there are two styles of dessert plates: one in an even pattern throughout, and the other with graphical elements arranged in a circle. The bread and butter plates blow the first of these approaches up to a much larger size, while the tart plates resemble the second, but with a fringe around the edge.

On the pasta plates and soup plates, meanwhile, patterns appear just around the edge; while on the presentation plate, a pattern is subtly expressed in pure yellow. The collection also features round and oval platters; breakfast, coffee and tea cups and saucers, as well as two styles of mugs; a teapot and a creamer; bowls in three sizes, plus an additional small salad bowl and sugar bowl; and a small tray.
The Soleil d’Hermès collection is the work of renowned illustrator and designer Arielle de Brichambaut, working alongside the brand’s skilled artisans, under the direction of Benoît Pierre Emery, creative director of La Table Hermès, an acclaimed figure within the world of design who is also a renowned art director and fashion designer.

This is the third collection that De Brichambaut has designed for Hermès tableware. She previously created the Balcon du Guadalquivir collection, decorated in red arabesques and fleur de lis-like patterns heavily influenced by Moorish aesthetics – specifically the wrought iron gates that ornament many homes in the Andalusia region in the south of Spain. She also designed the deep blue Bleus d’Ailleurs collection, for which she turned her attention to Chinese influences, abstracting them into a series of geometric lines and tessellating patterns.
