From The Hermès Spring-Summer 1999 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: It is Aphrodite's cruise, drifting on the tepid tides along with mermaids and dolphins. The sails on the horizon billow with gentle breezes The sirocco, the tramontana, the gusts from the westerly sunset and from the easterly sunrise are no more than the sated sighs of the satisfied deity; there is no question of squalls blowing up. This dreamy navigation where oblivion is almost a drowning, cradles our desires, which reflect like the sea, but which also fluctuate like it too.
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.
