From The Hermès Spring-Summer 1989 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Floral magic. Giverny comes to mind, that village in the Eure where Claude Monet painted what is at once the quintessential flower and the foundation of abstract art: Nymphéas. The soul of the master still inhabits this mysterious garden. Its Japanese bridge spans a whole chapter in the history of art, its wisteria opens up the palette of impressionism. This scarf? A reflection of our modern-day admiration for the man so fascinated by ... reflections.
From The Hermès Fall-Winter 1991/92 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Giverny is "just" a French village in the Normandy, but also happened to be home to Claude Monet. Here, the artist painted his famous Nymphéas and immortalized a Japanese bridge spanning a lily pond. Today admirers can visit his garden, overrun with flowers and sunlight, where the spirit of Impressionism lingers still. One is tempted to disagree with Oscar Wilde: if ever there were a place where nature rivals art. it is most certainly here.
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.
