Notes: In 2009, the Musée départemental Georges de La Tour in Vic-sur-Seille, France, presented Émile Gallé: Nature et Symbolisme, Influences du Japon, an exhibition devoted to the celebrated Art Nouveau artist and glassmaker. The exhibition explored Gallé’s interest with the natural world and the influences that shaped his artistic language, from botany and evolutionary theory to the impact of Japanese art and design.
From The Hermès Fall-Winter 2009/10 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Composed with all the delicacy of harmonious music, the carré expresses the elegance of the Heian period (from the eighth to the twelfth century), a fruitful era for the arts in Japan. Bordered by a traditional geometric design, the central tableau and the accompanying scenes pick up themes recurrent in Japanese prints: Mount Fuji in its clouds, travellers on horseback, in palanquins or in boats, accompanied by porters... Four medallions link the stylised flowers, patterns and typical fans found on kimonos. The abundance of cherry- trees, weeping willows, peonies and peach blossom, recalls the refined settings of Japanese gardens.

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.
