From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2013 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: A tribute to Mexico's pre-Colombian civilisations, this carré features a delicate background design based on a stone disc evoking one of the most celebrated images of Aztec art. The Sun Stone, also known as the Aztec stone, inspired the celebrated poem of the same name by Octavio Paz. The twenty-four ton block was carved in the fifteenth century under the reign of Axayacatl, and rediscovered in Mexico City three centuries later. The design shows a select group of finely-decorated objects with symbolic motifs, placed on top of the stone: pendants and a statuette decorated with a feather headdress, from western Mexico. Pre-Colombian artefacts are so called because they predate the discovery of central America by Christopher Colombus, and the European invasions that resulted. The rich culture of pre-Colombian civilization is witnessed in the wealth of ruins and objects that survive, displaying astonishing artistry, architectural skill, and mathematical and astronomical knowledge.
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.
