From The Hermès Marble Scarf Booklet: This exceptional scarf is the culmination of a veritable treasure hunt. It all started with the discovery, in an archival album of printed fabrics acquired by the House years ago, of fascinating motifs whose production technique remained a mystery. It took several years of research to locate the origins of this technique, invented in the first half of the 20 century between Switzerland, Germany, and France... In the end, however, it was in Japan that Hermes met passionate craftsmen, heirs to know-how their ancestors had acquired in Europe. It is they we have to thank for the creation of the Marble scarf. The development process used to make the scarf is unique and entirely artisanal. First, a paste imbibed with different colour pigments is prepared. Skillfully worked, cut out, and arranged in patterns, like a marquetry, it is used to form the design on a cylinder. The cylinder is then rolled over the material to print it. Gradually becoming more refined over the course of the production process, the motif is never exactly the same, making each piece one-of-a-kind. From this intricate process a rare product is born, with wonderful whimsical motifs and a wealth of incredibly diverse effects and intense colours. Any irregularities are but the expression of its authenticity.

Size Guide
- Twilly: small but mighty, use it like a typical scarf, as a bag handle, as a belt, and more.
- 45cm: this is the typical pocket square size, will fit around the neck like a bandana.
- 55cm: this is the bandana size typically printed in 3 colors to look like a traditional bandana.
- 70cm: this is a great option for petites and they are typically made out of a lighter weight silk than any of the other formats.
- 90cm: this is the classic Hermès scarf size. It's very versatile and if you're looking at any vintage photos, this is the scarf size that's worn.
- 140cm: the largest size of the bunch, almost reaching 5 ft. It's hard to capture the scale in photos but these are incredible as a lightweight shawl in the summer, or folded for a warmer feel in the winter.
- Shawls & Other Sizes: there are a few styles that Hermès does not make every season which are just as lovely and fit into this category.
