Hermes was founded in 1837 by saddle maker Thierry Hermes. It specialised in saddles and leather goods during its early days and only introduced scarves to its collection in the 1930s. Each Hermes scarf is still hand printed using multiple silk screens for every colour, with rich, opulent designs. They have become a favourite of the world’s fashion elite, including many members of European royal families as well as starring in film and television.

Top fans of Hermes designer scarves include H.M Queen Elizabeth II. Our monarch wore a Hermes ladies scarf when she appeared on a British postage stamp in 1972. Grace Kelly. famously wore a Hermes creation on the cover of Life Magazine in 1956 and also used a Hermes scarfas a sling for a broken arm in the same year.

Madge wore one as a halter in the Movie Swept Away in 2002.
