I simply adore this scarf!  The oversized ginkgo leaf jacquard took my breath away the first time I saw it.

And perhaps it will do the same for you…

The Daimyo Hermès carré draws its inspiration from the powerful territorial lords of feudal Japan, often referred to as the Princes du Soleil Levant or Princes of the Rising Sun. The scarf is a masterful homage to these influential figures and their storied history.

Madame Faconnet’s design is rich with Japanese symbolism. At its heart, two graceful cranes, which symbolize longevity and good fortune, are surrounded by a tapestry of samurai swords, delicate gingko leaves, and various mons. A mon is a stylized family crest, much like a European coat of arms, that identifies a family or individual. These emblems were often proudly displayed on clothing, samurai armor, and other objects of significance.

The Hermès Daimyo carré is a masterpiece woven with intricate detail. Steeped in rich symbolism, the bold gingko leaf jacquard silk evokes the luxurious texture of a finely woven kimono. This added touch not only amplifies the Japanese aesthetic but also lends the scarf a graceful drape, enhancing its elegance and making it a true work of wearable art.

A special addition to any Hermès collection!
