Rocabar a Cheval change tray

The story behind

The curves of this stylized horse are combined with the lines of the Rocabar blanket to create a highly graphic, geometric design by Marie-Françoise Héron. Rocabar is an iconic Hermès horse rug that was named after an expression coined by an English craftsman, who called these woolen blankets designed to protect horses from the cold "rugs à barres" (rugs with stripes). As the words evolved with different pronunciations, "rug à barres" became "Rocabar".
