EACH year the French luxury brand Hermes chooses a theme to inspire its designers and customers alike.

For 2013 that theme is "a sporting life". In describing the theme, the artistic director of Hermes, Pierre-Alexis Dumas, said "By 'sporting' we mean, of course, sport the Hermes way: sport as it has inspired, nourished and rejuvenated our style from the start ... It celebrates the heady pleasure of play; it magnifies the beauty of the moving body." In case you didn't already know, boomerang throwing is indeed a competitive sport and in the hands of an experienced thrower it is an elegant and graceful thing. Even more so when the apparatus is from Hermes and made from solid, hand-sculpted palisander with palisander inlay. If you throw it, you'll want to make sure you know how to do it so that it comes back. Available from Hermes stores. For stockists, phone [phone].
