From the Hermès Spring Summer 1981 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Inspired by early American folk art of the 17th and 19th centuries, this scarf features a playful cut-out design. Lady and George Washington are naively depicted.
From the Hermès Spring-Summer 1994 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Makino paper cutouts was a fashionable pastime in the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries. In those days, well-bred young ladies did not yet know the bitter pleasures of earning a living, and such activities that demanded dexterity kept their hands busy in those periods between sewing bees and singing lessons. The works they created then are now preserved in most of the American arts and crafts museums throughout the country.

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.
