Like Hugo Grygkar, Philippe Ledoux, can be argued, has left a huge impact on the Maison Hermès. Philippe Ledoux was enlisted by Robert Dumas in 1947 to design for the Maison Hermès. His amazing talents as an artist and illustrator can be enjoyed in the 90 carrés that he had created during his tenure at the design house. Some of the most collected Hermes carrés, such as the Napoléon, La Comédie Italienne and Cosmos for example, are among his creations. Other highly popular Ledoux scarves are Springs, Groenland, Harnais de Cour and La Promenade de Longchamps.
