The New Orleans, its official name, was part of the 1996 collection. According to the fashion House, The New Orleans silk scarf was printed in limited edition to aid the Louisiana Historical Society with a percentage proceeds from sales going to the new Orleans City Park Carousel Restoration Project. The 1996 Hermes carre booklet has this to say: “New Orleans (and not New Orleans Creole Jazz as it is often called) New Orleans, the cradle of jazz. At the turn of the century the strolling fanfare of brass and wind instruments settled in the bars, joined by piano, the double bass and the drums, for a jam session to wake the dead. It was the age of the blues, and their spirit still haunts the famous riverboats, why ply the Mississippi, and whose paddles churn to the legendary names of Louis Armstrong, King Oliver, Johnny Dodds and many others”
