From The Hermès Fall-Winter 2013/14 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: This carré squares the perpetual, circling beauty of the cheetah's racing stride, its paws clustered tight in a concentration of power, before the body stretches out, as if in flight, in an almost perfect straight line. Running 'flat out,' as the saying goes, though the clumsy phrase does no justice to the animal's perfect elegance and finesse. The four corners capture other facets of this exceptional creature: tender, peaceful, family scenes, and the innocent grace of the cubs, soon to become mighty predators in turn. Three thousand years ago, the ancient Sumerians, and later the Egyptians, trained cheetahs as hunting companions. In the sixteenth century, the Great Moghul Akbar was said to have captured nine thousand of them over the course of his reign. Based on studies by Robert Dallet - one of our finest wildlife artists, noted for his drawings of Big Cats - this carré is a tribute to a magnificent, threatened species.
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.
