HERMES 140cm SILK SCARF - COACHING
by JULIE ABADIE
This 140cm joined me in 2012. I typically avoid dark scarves, especially when there are big blocks of a singular color, but the jacquard weave of this 1976 classic adds a lot of dimension. And when I tried it on my friend declared 'Hugh Jackman would love this on you' so there's that.
From the Hermes Story Behind:
This design is composed of different elements used for harnessing a horse. It depicts Hermès' original expertise as a harness maker, as well as the elegant equestrian world for which the Maison has become renowned. The background features a blanket lined with a wide wool braid. In the lower right and upper left corners, dress sheets are revealed: blankets which are thrown over horses after exercise or racing to protect them from the cold. In the 17th century, coaches were imposing horse-drawn carriages driven by coachmen that transported passengers and luggage.
