From The Hermès Spring-Summer 1993 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: For the Great Moguls, Timur sovereigns who reigned in northern India beginning in the early 16th century, the best leisure activities were those practiced on horseback: ceremonies, polo, hunts for birds on the ground or in flight, and tiger hunts. The latter was considered a doubly rare pleasure since wives even had the right, it is believed, to participate with their faces unveiled.
From The Hermès Fall-Winter 1997/98 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: In an architecture derived from the gardens of Agra, these diverse scenes testify to the fact that nobody lacked entertainment in ancient Hindustan. Feast day ceremonies, polo accompanied by music, and all those hours spent risking one's life: the Mogul prince, on horse-back, confronted the tiger with his bow and his lance.

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.
