The Hermès Scarf: Epitome Of Luxury

The Hermès scarf is the epitome of luxury and timeless appeal. An object that’s free of outlandish logos and a loud look-at-me aesthetic, the scarf doesn’t let its wearer forget the absolute sense of lavishness and appreciation for craftsmanship. Founded in 1837, Hermès started off making saddles and other equestrian equipment in Paris, but it wasn’t until a hundred years later that the ultraluxe French brand introduced scarves. Since then they’ve appeared on some of the best-dressed ladies in history: Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, and Queen Elizabeth II, to name a few. Like all things Hermès, the process of making the scarves is intensely detailed—engraving the printing screens takes 750 hours, while each scarf requires the silk of 250 mulberry moth cocoons.

Printed on iconic cashmere and silk backing and each style are designed by different designers, these scarves and shawls is supple and light, easy to wear. Cool days or balmy evenings, it is the ideal companion to wrap up. Check out the latest "magnifique" and lavish designs of Hermès silk scarves below.
