The Hermes Scarf Explained - All You Need to Know About the Famous Carré

Thanks for this interesting hostory of Hermes scarf. As an owner of several of these beauties I would like to add the currently produced sizes of silk carré by Hermès are 45x45, 55x55, 70x70, 90x90 and 140x140. Also weight of 90x90 is around 70 gr. I have just returned a contemporary scarf bought at the reseller as it weighted only 53gr. The reseller confirmed it to be a fake.

Lovely... I inherited some from grandmother from the 50s over those from my mother in the 70s... bought my first one in the 90s... They are an everyday staple since decades

Thanks so much! I found my first Hermes for $1.25 USD at a thrift shop. The design is plumes. It has a couple of stains an a part of the corner hem is ripped but it’s still beautiful.

I'm a confirmed Hermes scarf addict. I'm up to 40 of the 90 cm. But I'm also going to start buying some of the vintage smaller sizes so I can frame them.

Excellent summary of the history. I learned so much.

Great video; enjoyed it very much.

Thank you for a very informative and well presented video. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I just found your channel, it's wonderful, thank you!

So glad I stumbled across your channel! Thank you for this super informative video! So insightful, so many facts I wasn’t aware of. You have a new subscriber :)

Very informative! Thank you!

Thank you so much, I have 5 Hermes Silk Scarves that I never wear. I feel they are too busy and they never seem to sit right. After watching your video I see that you cannot get it wrong no matter the colour or the pattern. So much work went into the design and I am keen to try again with my scarves.

Hello Liz, thank you for educating us and sharing information about the many designs and intricacies of Hermes Scarves. One thing I am scared of buying preloved is Hermes Scarves. I am going to start using these informations and going to the second hand shops to have a look.

Thank you so much for the history of Hermes scarves. I own 6 and my husband has 2. Love them all.

I am an equestrian with a small collection of about 30 scarves, most are very vintage although I do have a few newer ones. I’m doing research for a presentation on the transition of Hermes from a harness maker to world-class purveyor of beautiful scarves that often feature equestrian themes with meticulous attention to detail in the artwork.

Thank you for this presentation

I have had a passion for Hermes scarfs since living in Paris in the 70’s. My favorites are the ones dedicated to the indigenous people of the western hemisphere. You video is really essential to learn the background of the company & its ties to the equestrian world, but I would like to see a video by you about this other sub-category of Hermes scarf design. The designs, in my opinion, are best enjoyed as a framed piece of art than a fashion accessory. Merci beaucoup!

Thank you!

Wonderful commentary

Thank you for this very well searched video! I love my silk scarves. My favorite Hermès classic print is 'Les clés'. I own it with the petal pink border. I love that it can look modern and classic at the same time. I also love more contemporary prints but not the ones that are too busy. I think they are favorites for younger women. I own about 10 Hermès scarves but I also love my other vintage designer scarves. The quality of the Hermès silk is definitely higher. This is my favorite accessory. Only one was purchased brand new from the store. The other ones were second hand in perfect or almost perfect condition. If you take great care of them, they can last for years. It makes any boring outfit interesting. Each of them is special and they are all very different which makes them very versatile.

Excellent summary. I have two scarves drom the 80s that I wore with my coats. They have sitting in a drawer for the last couple of years. I am voing to vring them out now and have a look and wear them again. Can you sendca link on how to wrap/use them with shirts, blouses etc. They are certainly amazing. TY
