Why I Love This Pattern: A gorgeous Egyptian technique, and I love the ode to the scarab, which can be seen at the center and throughout. In ancient Egypt, the scarab beetle was a powerful symbol of protection, transformation, and rebirth. It was associated with the sun god Ra, who was believed to roll the sun across the sky just as the scarab rolls its ball of dung, an image of regeneration and the cycle of life. Scarabs were often used as amulets and buried with the dead to ensure safe passage to the afterlife. This one feels like a shawl of silk protection.
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.
