From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2012 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: At 23 years of ase, Robert Delpire founded Neuf magazine, bringing together Sartre, Michaux, Miller and Picasso. Then at the beginning of the 1950s, he published the photographers Cartier-Bresson, Brassaï and Robert Frank. In 1963, Graphis magazine paid homage to his work by inviting him to design its cover. Entranced by its alignment of subtly varying shells, Robert Dumas suggested that he create a scarf. The same year, Delpire inaugurated his Parisian gallery, which would show a number of photographers and illustrators, including Koudelka, Bourdin, Savignac and Glaser. This tireless "presenter of images" practiced the art of sharing his passions intensely, just as the Hermès scarf shares the passion of telling stories that endure through time.
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.
