From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2011 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Flowers, gigantic, fantastic, undulating, A burr settles on an Indian printed cotton. This exuberant blossoming, rich in colours is inspired by the cotton fabrics brought from India at the end of the 16th centurv. The French adored them so much that a law forbidding them was passed in 1686, in order to protect the silk merchants from the Lons region and the cloth manufacturers of the north from such competition. But the infatuation intensified. The exoticism and the charming simplicity of these materials captivated the wealthy just as much as those with more modest means. First appearing in Marseilles, Indian fabrics multiplied very rapidly, requiring artists who specialised in flowers and naturalists to design special patterns for these light materials.
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.
