From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2000 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: An empire resides between the frontiers of this scarf. And it is the greatest of ant-iquity, that of Achaemenes and the satraps of sumptuous renown. It will need the genius of an Alexander to vanquish it, but the conqueror will die before he can unite Persia with Greece. In the meantime, Darius I, the founder of Persepolis, parades in his chariot, formidable with his guards - the Immortals, with his court of the Faithful and with his armies. It would need more than a mere lion to halt the King of the Persians.
From The Hermès Fall-Winter 2000/01 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: In our innocence we believe the world to be eternal. But where did all the great civilisations of antiquity end up? What happened to the Persian Empire, with all its warriors and navigators, whom Alexander once dreamed of defeating? We are left with the theories of historians who tire themselves out by recreating lives from dusty ruins. Poor souls, they see only with the dull eyes of erudition. So, to offer them the spectacle of bubbling reality, here is Darius I, the founder of Persepolis, amongst his royal guard and followed by his faithful retinue.

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.
