Case in point: the Hermes scarf.
_. The ever-classic accessory has
~ been a symbol of elegance and
‘sophistication since it swathed its
first neckline in the early 1800s.
.. Soaking in status, this rectangu-
lar piece of silk is so distinctive in
its design that it is difficult not to
miss. And, though thousands of |
stook-alikes ¢ can be found, you can
- always detect the real thing.
No matter what it covers,
whether it’s cashmere or acrylic, |
jeaus or a suit jacket, it makes the
‘look. It’s a fashion statement forthe
"young and a traditional trimming:

’. for the mature.

You may not be especially
: drawa to Hermes designs, but if
. -you’ve got one you'll wear it out of
- pure respect for its maker and the.
aura it casts over her shoulders.
-What makes this ‘accessory one
of the most coveted in the world?
“< Hermes scarves are imported
from Paris where the couture house
Hermes (pronouced Ayr-mez) has

been famous for its clothing and
accessories for over 150 years.
The fine illustrations on each
scarf were originally inspired by
muscum artifacts, with the most

_ famous sketches being of carriages,

harnesses, horses and hunting dogs,
elaborate old keys and large tassles.

The scarves also depict outdoor
scenes such as fox hunters on
horseback and landscapes of old.

There are 750 designs which are
recreated each year, hand-painted
by master crafters on the finest
quality silk.

Over 160 people work together
to create the designs on each scarf,
with each masterpiece taking from
12 to 35 paint applications. .

Sixty employees are hired just to
hand-roll and stitch the edges and
800 workers in total are needed to
complete these scarves.

The exquisite craft has rot
changed since it began in 1837,
resulting in its undying reputation

‘for high quality.

The price of an Hermes scarf?
As you would expect, you pay the
price for status: $265. They are sold
at Holt Renfrew.
