PERSIAN

The Persian is the most photographed cat in history, a creature whose long-haired silhouette and flat-faced expression has graced everything from Renaissance miniatures to the pages of Vanity Fair. Its origins trace to the high plateaus of seventeenth-century Persia, where Italian traveler Pietro della Valle first brought the breed back to Europe in 1626, igniting a fascination that has never cooled.

Queen Victoria kept Persians; Florence Nightingale slept beside one; Marilyn Monroe was photographed alongside her white Persian Mitsou; Karl Lagerfeld kept generations of them in the Chanel ateliers around him. Few breeds have spent more centuries occupying the laps of the powerful and the famous.

The Persian edition is the most opulent in the REMUS Collection. A pale aqua linen cover, the breed's celebrated cloud-like coat reimagined through extreme macro photography, every long guard hair rendered with the precision of brushed silk, every soft pouf a small landscape. A tribute to the most photographed cat the world has ever loved.
