From The Hermès Fall-Winter 2011/12 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Two little horses went to court, dressed in the finest bridles wrought… Outstanding craftsmen devoted themselves to creating these ceremonial harnesses commonly used in France until the middle of the 19th century, thereafter reserved for the Royal court and gala outings... Manes braided with silk or trimmed with bands of velvet adorned with tassels and embroidery called palatines, rosettes of metal or cord, gleaming blinkers, hand-punched leather by master saddle-makers. It is easy to imagine them cutting a dash so harnessed, with each of their steps resounding with the sound of hooves on the ground and of the jangle of buckles engraved with their master's crests.
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.
