Since then each scarf has told a story in elaborate intricate designs from the whimsical to the harmonious. Hermes scarves evoke emotions from the equestrian to the universe and has been loved through the decades by a myriad of women throughout the world and are coveted and collected. In 1987, with the creation of L’Annee du Feu D’Artifice, Hermes began to create a theme each year. Over 2000 designs have been created and takes two years to make from inception. Each scarf has about 30 colours and has to be individually screened. Along with limited editions and reprints of older designs in new colours, two collections of silk scarves and two collections of cashmere/silk blend scarves consisting of nine prints each are released every year. Since Hermes scarves are so beautifully designed, often times they are framed and used as coveted artwork on walls. The Hermes Scarf Creation Process The scarves average as many as 27 colours. Each design is created by hand-design and then brought to the screen printing process. The artist’s design is then broken down by Hermes engravers to unique films – one for each colour. As many as 47 films may be created for a single scarf. During this time Brazilian silk is imported to France where the raw silk is woven – a process that can take up to three months. Pigments are mixed and boiled to create perfect colours, and then the screens are applied to the silk which is stretched over the printing table. Each screen applies new colour and pattern. When dry they are steamed to set them in place. Finally the silk is cut into squares and seamstresses hand roll and sew the edges with silk thread that creates the signature edging of an Hermes scarf. An Hermes scarf can take 18 months to create, and they are loved an collected with appreciation for the expert and attention detail that goes into each one.
