Grace Kelly and the HERMES carre

The following question was posted by one of my readers:

I was wondering if you could tell me the name of design Grace Kelly wore when she used a hermes scarf as a sling? 
Thank you

I thought this an excellent question, so I decided to post it here:

Grace Kelly, the beloved American actress, who after marrying Prince Rainier in the spring of 1956, became Princess of Monaco, did use an HERMES carre as a sling for her broken arm.

Appropriately, it was the Deo Juvante Monaco HERMES scarf, which was issued in 1957/1958.  The artist is unfortunately unknown and the scarf is less common.
