From The Hermès Fall-Winter 1990/91 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Qalamdans, Persian papier-maché pencil-boxes brought back by travellers in the 19th century, enchanted the Europeans with their exquisitely drawn portrayals of hunting or battle scenes, though there are also portraits, landscapes and scenes from religious, domestic or courtly life - all of them set against a background of flowers, butterflies, fruit birds, and insects of every variety. Monumental miniatures!
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.
