A look at... Hermès Scarves

Whilst browsing around Vintage Modes, we spotted a row of pretty scarves in Arabella Bianco's stand. It turned out they were  Hermès silk scarves, a favourite amongst countless sophisticated fashion icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Jackie Onassis, Grace Kelly and Catherine Deneuve.

Hermès silk scarves at Arabella Bianco

Hermès was founded in 1837 as a horse harness and bridle shop in Paris. It took another hundred years before the company would design a scarf, using the same silk that lined its riding jackets. The first print, called “Jeu des Omnibus et Dames blanches,” debuted in 1937.

The first Hermès scarf print “Jeu des Omnibus et Dames blanches"

The 90cm x 90cm silk scarves were soon a mainstay of the luxury goods company, as different artists were commissioned to create their own designs with elaborate detailing and bright color combinations. An individual scarf typically incorporates 20 to 30 different hues, each printed from a unique silkscreen in a process that can take hundreds of hours to complete. All Hermès scarves have hand rolled edges and include a print of the Hermès Paris stamp, name of the designer and the design.

We took a closer look at the Hermès scarves on offer at Arabella Bianco...
