Why I Love This Pattern: This scarf is an ode to the 1833 Fête des Vignerons in Vevey, Switzerland, which is a grand festival held only once every twenty-five years. At the center, this image, titled Bacchus Grand Prêtre, comes from a leaflet for the 1833 Winegrowers Festival, illustrated by Théophile Steinlen. It shows Bacchus, the god of wine, carried through the procession and preceded by his High Priest, a theatrical representation of the festival’s spirit. Scenes like this one were part of the grand parade that celebrated the vineyard workers of Vevey with music, costume, and ceremony. More information can be seen here along with the original artwork of which the center motif is based. It is incredibly rare as it dates back to 1952 and was never rereleased.

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.
