Hermes Scarves Helping Hounds
Ever since Hermes introduced its famous silk scarf or carre in 1937, Hermes scarves have been deemed some of the most beautiful and luxurious scarves created in the modern era. Each scarf is hand printed and all hems are hand rolled and hand stitched. Not only is every scarf a prized fashion accessory, but each scarf is a work of art, and many Hermes designs are highly sought after by collectors worldwide as well cared for scarves often achieve impressive appreciation in value.
The Hermes scarf has been seen everywhere—Princess Grace of Monaco used one as a sling for her broken arm in 1956. Emily Blunt’s character sent boxes and boxes of Hermes scarves flying into the air when she was bumped by a taxi in “The Devil Wears Prada.” Queen Elizabeth is frequently photographed with a Hermes scarf covering her head and a postage stamp featuring her wearing one of the famous scarves came out in the 1950s. Jackie Onassis and Audrey Hepburn were fans, as many contemporary celebrities and fashion icons are today.
