From The Hermès Fall-Winter 2012/13 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Mughal art brought a style known as kundan to finery from the 17th century onward, gemstones were surrounded by fine gold ribbons and often, the jewel was lined with polychrome enamels, Many examples of this ancient aesthetic are reproduced here. In India, women -as well as men -wear such ornaments, which glorify and attest to their social and ethnic loyalties or appeal to power of the planets. The names of jewels alone invite us to travel: the arya (impressive necklace); the bazuband (an upper arm bracelet); the to wiz (an amulet); the sarpech (a turban ornament); the chandtikko (crescent moon-shaped forehead ornament)... This scarf is a hymn to a people, their history and their know how.
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.
