Why I Love This Pattern: In 1957, Robert Dumas collaborated with Hugo Grygkar to create what would become one of Hermès’ most iconic designs. By placing two bridles face to face on the floor, a design emerged that felt instantly complete and the motif took shape. The design honors Hermès’ origins as a saddlery, its commitment to beauty, function, and longevity, and the elegance of ceremonial harnesses. Many of the elements were drawn from the Émile Hermès collection, proving that some objects are destined to live on. In this particular variation I love the split motif where half looks like it's done in leather.
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.
