From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2010 Seasonal Scarf Booklet:
Why I Love This Pattern: Brides de Gala is one of the most iconic Hermes patterns in the collection and also for being featured in “Mad Men”. It’s a pattern that’s been re-released numerous times with so many artist collaborations. In 1957, Robert Dumas worked with artist Hugo Grygkar. He placed two bridles face to face and realized how perfect this would be for a scarf design and reflects the beginnings of Hermes as an equestrian shop. On the bridal we can see Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, known in Greek mythology as the Moirai, or the Fates, represent destiny as the Spinner, the Measurer, and the Unbending.

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.
