Purchase options and add-ons

A sumptuous selection of Hermès scarves chosen from seven decades of creative innovation.

The Hermès scarf is a style icon. Worn by royalty and celebrities, coveted and admired, and now avidly collected, this deceptively simple square of silk is much more than just a fashion accessory: it is the stuff of legend.

Since the first scarf made its debut in 1937, the House of Hermès has produced more than two thousand different designs. From the classic scarves that embody the Hermès tradition to the wildly imaginative stylings of contemporary designers, the House is always forging new paths and yet is never afraid to take a fresh and often witty approach to its own heritage.

A scarf is not the work of a single individual; at each stage of its creation, talent and craftsmanship combine to create a work of art. These qualities shine through in the illustrations, by turns playful and poetic, which lead the reader into a richly colored world with a multitude of motifs. They range from the equestrian themes that are internationally associated with the Hermès brand, through French history and the natural world, to global cultures. From vibrant opulence to subtle harmony, every scarf conveys a mood and every one tells a story. 292 color photographs and illustrations

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Visual Inspiration.
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2021

I always loved this book and finally purchase my own.
For visual, this is a great inspirational book.
It does not have much explanation on the images, but it helps me more focused on the image.
Also, I love to study the references they used on my own.
But if you want a proper explanation for the images, it is not the book for you.

If you have an affinity for Hermes scarves like I do, you need this book. I fell in love with them after purchasing one several years ago in Paris. As for this book, I first saw it on Katey McFarlan's blog (Chronicles of Frivolity) and had my eye on it ever since. The pages are covered with beautiful silk, vibrant colors and patterns. Aesthetically pleasing and worth a flip through each page. In fact, it may be my favorite coffee table book to date.

I've wanted this book for ages however it has always sold out before I got a chance to purchase it. Not this time ! Everything about this book is beautiful from the dusk jacket to its contents. This book does a great job of telling the story of one of the most elegant fashion statements in history. Great conversation piece.

This is a beautiful book for the Hermes scarf collector. The pictures alone are worth it. And it not only gives you the history of Hermes scarves but also mentions the history of some of the artists. This is a must have for collectors.

So many art pieces to admire...
I love Hermes actually, so I could be biased, but the book itself is wonderful as well and I spend hours admiring the details of scarfs (there are more than100 different designs, each on one full page + variant colours for some of the most famous).

4.0 out of 5 stars Bellissime immagini
Reviewed in Italy on December 12, 2023

Il libro è’ arrivato puntuale, integro e ben impacchettato.
Le immagini sono bellissime ( sono una fan di Hermès!! ), non ho ancora letto tutto ma pare che anche la storia sia ben raccontata.
Molto bello anche come oggetto di arredo, la copertina rigida di ottima qualità.
Se proprio devo fare un appunto sarebbe bello non stampassero il prezzo sul libro poiché se lo si vuole regalare lo si deve ‘ rovinare’ coprendo il prezzo a penna.
