Why I Love This Pattern: The Mediterranean is often called a “lake” for its calm waves, but when it stirs, even Aphrodite feels it. And yet, along its shores, villages have always flourished. Beneath olive trees, writers and thinkers found their voices, like Homer, Virgil, Ibn Khaldun, Dante, Cervantes. The cultures that surround this sea form a vivid mosaic and we see griffins from Pylos, Gaudí’s rooftops, a phoenix rising from Antioch, Neptune crowned with an octopus, a queen of Carthage and a Berber prince.
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.
