From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2009 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Almost life-size, a turtle illustrates the carre De Madras à Zakynthos. The name evokes the long journey of this strange animal, living in the archipelago of the Maldives and going all the way back to the Greek Isles, its birthplace, to produce its offspring. Eggs are laid collectively - between 70 and 100 per turtle - buried in the warm sand and hatching out simultaneously two months later. Nevertheless, only 2% of the baby turtles survive following their mad race towards the sea. Protected since 1981, the various species can be differentiated by the scales on their shell. Their average size varies from 50 to 100 cm, some able to live up to one hundred and fifty years.

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.
