The Hermès scarf: typically French
Hermès scarves are passed down from generation to generation and are part of the heritage and history of French families, just like furniture and works of art. Launched in 1937, the scarves became a classic and an icon. It's no wonder that the brand has a special website for scarves called La Maison des Carrés, where you can see all the models.
The famous carré, which means square in French, is the most famous of all and measures 70x70cm. However, the scarves come in various styles: long and triangular.
Creativity and quality excellence are the secrets to the success of this typically French product. Designed by renowned artists, the scarves undergo a lengthy manufacturing process and require an average of 24 different colors.
In Paris, if you pay attention, you'll see these scarves tied around necks, on bag handles, at waists, and around heads holding up hair.
I can't forget to mention ties. The same story, but for men. Hermès ties are passed down from generation to generation...
