Why I Love This Pattern: Inspired by “The King’s Instruction in the Exercise of Horse Riding,” a 17th-century manual by Antoine de Pluvinel for King Louis XIII of France. Pluvinel believed that kindness was more effective than severity when training horses, treating them not as machines but as responsive, sentient beings. He founded a riding academy in Paris and wrote his renowned guide as a dialogue with the young king, accompanied by exquisite etchings by Crispin de Pas. Henri d’Origny’s design draws on this tradition, pairing steel bits with braided fabric reins.
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.
