From The Hermès Spring-Summer 1999 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: For the Cheyenne, the Kio-wa, the Apache and the Hopi, choreography comes down to ritual. Whether they celebrate the sun or bis-on, mark the passage of girls to women, whether they invoke success for the hunt, or the spirits of their great ones (both men and horses), Indians dance. And the question is knowing what rites the white folk in the modern world are performing, when they shake themselves about amidst the din of their horrendous sound systems.
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.
