From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2009 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: The card Per astro ad astra-"Through the stars to the stars" - has been drawn from the epic by Jean-François de Galaup, Count de La Pérouse. Ordered by the King in 1785 to oversee a scientific and commercial expedition, his frigates, Astrolabe and Boussole, were both shipwrecked in the archipelago of Santa Cruz in Oceania. The carré portrays a compass dial with ribbons and floral garlands, such as depicted in the 18th Century. Surrounding the portraits of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette are French Officers trading with the locals, while botanists study the nature... Oh so many scenes inspired by the log book, a part of which was brought back to Versailles.
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.
