From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2009 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Over the centuries, the indian in Brazil has mingled his feathers with his past, with his rituals and with his festivals: sumptuous headdresses and finery, jewellery ornaments and musical instruments - sheer bursts of colour! The art of the feather has evolved in a green and sombre environment where the plume of the birds surpasses that of the flowers. More than one thousand different species, some of which are unique in the world, offer an incredible array of colours and shapes. Furthermore, of the 350,000 Indians living in Brazil, 60% reside in the tropical forest where isolated tribes still live today, completely cut off from the rest of the world.
From The Hermès Fall-Winter 1988/89 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Primitive man dreamed of flying and since he could not, he adorned himself with beautiful birds' feathers hoping to rise above his terrestrial fate. Today, the sons of Icarus fly in airplanes to surmount their pedestrian condition, but the fascination of feathers remains. In Brazil, they are everywhere: in fashion, head-dress, musical instruments, in celebration of rituals and tumult of festivities.
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.
