From The Hermès Spring-Summer 1983 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Force 5, hold the square The wind filling these large, colorful sails could well win, before the winner of the race arrives.
From The Hermès Spring-Summer 2013 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Raised proudly at the prow of a sailing yacht, the majestic spinnaker is synonymous with speed, capturing the wind and propelling the vessel forward in a stunning display that never fails to inspire a shiver of freedom. In France, the first sailing regattas were organized in 1840, but it was another forty years before the spinnaker brought its own frisson to the sport. A precious ally in a strong tailwind, the triangular spinnaker is made from ultra-lightweight fabric with a deeply curved surface that swells magnificently and lends itself to stunning, brightly-coloured designs. The wind blows, the sea whitens, and the spinnakers are unleashed like a flock of hot-air balloons. Hurrah for sporting spectacle and speed - and may the best sail win!
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.
