From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2011 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Benoit is a baker, Matin is a miller, Hermès... a saddler. The twenty-four letters of the alphabet give us tewnty-four craftsmen and twenty-four trades... All have evolved over the course of years, but vine-pickers, painters, jewel-lers and saddlers still look to their hands and their know-how as their trusted allies. Charming and naïve, like the prizes given out at school to good little children, these illustrations are inspired by the pictures of Epinal. Originating in France, in the town of the same name, the pictures used to tell stories, teach and entertain, their reputation in the 19th century becoming worldwide. Storyteller and traveller, the Hermes carré is certainly no stranger to this association.
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.
