I was asked a while back by one of my readers to include an English translation of the Hermès scarf titles.
For efficiency’s sake, I thought it might be a good idea to also include links to photos, the artists as well as year of issue. I am starting with the year 2001, seasons I (spring/summer) and II (fall/winder).
This is a work in progress and more titles will be added as time allows.
Thank you for your understanding. Corrections and suggestions are always welcome:
