Why I Love This Pattern: Not only is this scarf gorgeous with its vibrant washes of colors, but what makes it truly special is the story of its artist, Sefedine Ibrahim Alamin (known as Kwumi). Born in Sudan, Sefedine lost his parents to the civil war at age 14 and found refuge in a Doctors Without Borders camp. There, he began creating colorful chalk drawings of African landscapes that eventually reached the desk of Jean-Louis Dumas, then-chief executive of Hermès, who had previously visited the school. Hermès went on to collaborate with Sefedine on six unique scarf designs. Dumas shared a powerful observation, saying, "This boy was born during the war and saw nothing but death around him, but all of his designs are very peaceful." And I’ll add, not only are they peaceful, they are spectacular.
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.
