• This is an exceptional vintage Hermes top from 1999.
• This print is called Rythmes du Monde and was created by Laurence Bourthoumieux and first issued in 1999.
• Laurence Bourthoumieux is also known as Toutsy on her later works. She is well known for her work for Hermes. 
• The top is made out of one of their signature silk twills that has a bit of give so the fit is amazing.
  
• The print that covers it is phenomenal. It combines greens with a deeper yellow and has a classic Hermes pattern that covers the entire top.
• The collar is fantastic with a pointed finish and I love how the entire front edging is a contrasting print.
• That same contrast is picked up again on each cuff.
• The colour is pointed and slightly exaggerated. The shoulders are soft, and the sleeves are slightly full above their cuffs. The cut through the body is easy and boxy so it is easy to wear and fit.
• There are two extra buttons still sewn inside near the side seam.
• The text identifying the print is on the inside edge of the bottom of the top.
  
• This is a fantastic way to add a piece of Hermes magic to your wardrobe.
• The top is unlined and buttons to close down the front and at each cuff. I see some minor colour transfer here and there in the print. I have taken photos of where it is the worst. It is mainly around the lower edge. The print is so extensive over the top that it blends in well but it is mentioned for accuracy. The easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes and on a smaller frame it will just be slightly more oversized.
