From The Hermes Fall-Winter 1988/89 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Centered around the majestic jaguar, this design has so much detail beyond that. Lush Brazilian flora creates a rich, layered frame with the incredible biodiversity of South America. Robert Dallet hoped to draw attention to the fragile beauty of this wildlife, which risks disappearing as deforestation continues. This scarf simply wouldn’t be what it is without the presence of these extraordinary animals.
From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2019 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: The equatorial zone of South America has remarkably diverse fauna and flora that were a marvellous source of inspiration for the passionate naturalist Robert Dallet. Around a jaguar, the solitary big cat that prowls dense forests, a whole population of wild animals busies itself. The ocelot and the margay- small felines, sharp and keen - dominate the scene and frame a spider monkey, a sloth and toucans. Then comes the ballet of the macaws, parakeets and a cock-of-the-rock, followed by the white-headed capuchin, the woolly monkey and the ringtail. On the ground rest roseate spoonbills, a sunbittern with its wings spread, a scarlet ibis... A composition of multiple voices.
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.
