From The Hermès Spring-Summer 1994 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: In the heart of the deserts, where horizons can seem limitless, coquetry is justified when it becomes more than an expression of frivolous vanity, but rather a deep need for self-expression. These ornaments - inspired by Ethiopian and Berber jewelry, Touareg crosses and Kabylian cloisonné enamels - form a garland of gold, silver and pearls dedicated to the eternal woman: fruitful and generous, enchantress in love and conqueror by vocation.

From The Hermès Fall-Winter 1996/97 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: In the desert man is faced with emptiness; this daily encounter teaches him a modesty which touches on pride. Standing beneath a sky of gold, Kabyles and Toaregs forge finery, which reflects back the sun's rays in fiery profusion. Necklaces, earrings, ornaments of silver or inset enamel make the Berber women even more beautiful, whilst life asserts itself in these fibula with their symbols of carnal desire and fecundity.
