From The Hermès Spring-Summer 1984 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Beware of this turbulent square! It only thinks of coming to life at the slightest breeze. And there it is, flapping at the breath of one of the thirty-two winds.
From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2012 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: A compass rose: it would be a beautiful name for a star. On a map, it shows the cardinal points. The first compass roses date from ancient times. Built for navigation, they helped travellers find their way using the wind and, at times, like that adorning this scarf, they included thirty-two intermediate directions: thirty-two "spheres of the wind". Coloured, to help illiterate sailors decipher them, they were also ornamented. They remain opulent compositions attesting to the savoir-faire of those pursuers of beauty and precision - the illustrious or anonymous cartographers.
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.
