What is the name of the 1963 Hermès scarf design showing a carriage and groom?

The story behind the answer

Brides de Gala is the Hermès scarf design showing a carriage and groom.

Robert Dumas commissioned the design from Hugo Grygkar, who created it in 1957. The image focuses on the ornate bridles and harness equipment used in ceremonial equestrian settings, reflecting Hermès’s roots in saddlery and harness-making.

Brides de Gala became one of the house’s most recognizable silk-scarf designs. It has been issued in many colorways and remains closely associated with the visual language of Hermès carré scarves.

The date can cause confusion because the design was created in 1957, while some references to its commercial history mention later reissues. It is also distinct from Jeu des Omnibus et Dames Blanches, the first Hermès silk-scarf design from 1937.
