From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2019 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: From the 16th century and throughout the Edo period - from the early 17th to the 19th centuries - Portuguese merchants exported Indian calicos to Japan. These cotton fabrics with their bright colours and geometric motifs were markedly different to the indigo cotton and hemp of Japanese textiles and they quickly became popular. Used for everything from wrapping objects to making kimonos, sarasas - a term derived from the Portuguese word for calicos - were soon being produced by Japanese weavers. They took care to perpetuate the decorative style, combining it over time with their own ideas. Aline Honor has created a sumptuous kimono made from a patchwork of motifs borrowed from these fabrics.
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.
