From The Hermès Fall-Winter 2015/16 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Hermès' close relationship with the National Museum of the Car and Tourism in Compiègne is of long standing. The horse-drawn carriage shown in this design is one of its most treasured exhibits. It inspired Wlodek Kaminski to create a scarf in which the frame highlights the wealth of detail. In 1808, forced to flee Madrid, King Ferdinand VII chose this sturdy equipage over a fragile ceremonial carriage. The Prince Talleyrand, his host at the Château de Valençay in France was struck by its gothic appearance. Abandoned at the château after the sovereign's departure, it was not until the turn of the 20th century that the carriage caught the attention of an antiques collector, and then of a mechanic, before being acquired by France's national museums in the 1950s.

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.
