From The Hermès Fall-Winter 2020/21 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: At hunting meets and equestrian competitions, horses wait in their grande tenue, or ceremonial dress, of blankets in wool broadcloth and sheets in monogrammed checked cotton. Hermès' archives include a unique collection of these emblems designed to identify teams by their owners' monograms, the oldest of which date from the era of Napoleon III. The stamped monogram of a viscount, with highly graphic lines, sits opposite that of a Romanian prince, while a lion emerging from a ducal crown faces those of Napoleon Ill and a maharajah. The centre displays the monogram of mile Hermès, a passionate collector. responsible for the house's collective memory.
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.
