Designed by Sefedin Ibrahim Alamin in 2004. In 1997 during civil war, after his parents were killed, a 14 year old Sudanese boy found his way to a camp run by Doctors Without Borders. He was placed in a school for orphans where he started to draw colourful chalk sketches of African landscapes. The school had been visited previously by Jean-Louis Dumas, the former chief executive of Hermès, who had asked to be alerted to any student with artistic talent. Sefedin's sketches landed on Dumas's desk and Sefedin was hired to design for Hermes. He created six different styles, La Tour Eiffel S'envole being one of them.
