Waiting for Ulysses to return from the Trojan War, wife Penelope fended off suitors by promising her hand in marriage once she finished weaving a tapestry. As clever as her husband - the creator of the Trojan Horse - Penelope would make a show of weaving during the day, then surreptitiously unravel her work at night.

This 2021 Florence Manlik design first appeared as a 140cm cashmere shawl, and this 'detail' version was released as a 45cm silk gav. Bright and busy, I like how you can make this looks like a red scarf or a blue scarf depending on how you knot it.

The Hermes Story Behind:
Florence Manlik designed this scarf inspired by Eastern European folklore and the motifs of its traditional costumes. Is this the Trojan horse dreamed up by the cunning Odysseus which, in the Iliad, allowed the Greeks hidden in its belly to gain entrance into the enemy city? Or could it be the tapestry woven by his wife Penelope, whose story is told in the Odyssey? In her endless wait for her husband’s return, she devised many tricks to hold off her many suitors, notably by promising them marriage when she had completed her tapestry. The young queen wove during the day, and each night unraveled the work she had done. Who can say whether these flowers or this proud horse nourished her dreams?
