Why I Love This Pattern: As someone who is passionate about the arts and scarves, this is the perfect example of the two coming together. I absolutely love this scarf because it’s inspired by the stunning cloisonné enamel designs of China’s Ming and Qing dynasties, with many of these pieces preserved in the Musée des Arts Decoratifs archives inspiring the design. The intricate technique of cloisonne, which uses tiny metal strips to create raised motifs filled with vibrant enamel, gives this scarf such depth and texture. The combination of floral and geometric patterns, along with the galloping horse, one of the most symbolic animals in Chinese culture, makes this scarf not only gorgeous, but rich in history and meaning.
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.
