From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2013 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: On the chess board, the knight is embodied in his mount...The horse's head - noblesse oblige - is the only piece able to jump over its opponents: a tried and tested method for overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles...Stylised here into architectural assemblages of geometric, coloured shapes, the loyal knight reflects the equestrian heritage of the house of Hermes, standing proudly on its base against a structured background of mathematical figures - or the arcane workings of delicate machinery. Chess aficionados evoke the beauty of legendary matches past. The chessboard is the theatre for a clash of personalities and strategies; following the moves is an aesthetic delight. Chess is a science, the ultimate mind. gym, and a fine art all its own, practiced by a host of thinkers, from Leon Tolstoy and Marcel Duchamp, to Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Lewis Carroll.. For Hermes, anything touching on the world of the horse is home territory!
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.
