From The Hermès Fall-Winter 2016/17 Seasonal Scarf Booklet: Inspired by an engraving conserved at the Château de Malmaison, this scarf by Philippe Ledoux, one of Hermès' legendary designers, features in its centre the phaeton belonging to Napoleon I's son. This horse-drawn carriage takes its name from the son of Helios, personification of the sun in Greek mythology. The story goes that Phaeton borrowed but lost control of his father's sun chariot, almost setting the earth on fire, and paid for this with his life. The gorgeous little carriage was decked out with all the adornments of the Empire, and was pulled by two merino sheep, trained by the famous circus manager Franconi. Built in 1812 by the carriage-maker Tremblay, it is preserved at the castle of Schönbrunn, in Vienna, where the Emperor's son lived for most of his short life.
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.
