Get Hermes Scarves On Sale To Create Hundreds Of Looks

By Katrina Wheeler


Fashion changes all the time and it can be very difficult to stay on trend if you have to buy new outfits every season. However, you don't have to wreck your budget to look good. With a few wardrobe basics you only need to change your accessories to create a whole new look. If you can find some Hermes scarves on sale, it's even easier to be stylish since these items are so versatile.

The Hermes company started out in 1837 in Paris. Originally it produced harnesses, saddles and the like for the affluent members of society. In 1918 the company made its first garment, a golf jacket, and during the 1920s it introduced handbags. Women's clothing followed by the end of that decade and in 1937, during its centenary, the company launched the first of the scarves for which it is famous.

While there are also luxurious blends of cashmere and silk available, most of the famous squares of fabric are made of pure silk. Each scarf usually measures just a little less than a square meter. What really set the items apart are the intricate designs that are printed on them.

The scarves were a hit right from the start. Soon the rich and famous all started sporting them. They made it onto a postage stamp bearing the image of Queen Elizabeth and made it onto the big screen too, most notably in 'Basic Instinct'. Former Hollywood star and later member of the Monaco royal family, Princess Grace used hers as a sling when she broke her arm. Some people stitch two together to make striking cushions and others have them framed.

The designs are created by freelance artists who work with the company's team. It can take a year to produce a new design. Next, the workshop artisans determine the individual colors and engrave separate screens for printing each color. After the painstaking printing process is complete, the edges are stitched by hand.

Because of the size and the texture of the fabric, there is an almost infinite number of ways to tie your scarf. You can start by folding it into a triangle. Tie this around your neck as is or fold it lengthwise until you have a narrow strip. This can then be knotted around your neck any way you want.

What makes a Hermes scarf such an invaluable fashion item is that there is so much more that can be done with it. It can be turned into a bag, a turban or a gypsy-style headscarf. With one scarf you can create a summer top and with two you can make a tunic. If you want to give someone a very special gift, wrap it in a scarf instead of paper. For ideas and tutorials, look online or get the company's own Silk Knots app.

If you desire one but can't afford it, you simply need to know when you'll find Hermes scarves on sale. Upscale department stores and boutiques that stock them usually have their sales in January or at the end of the winter or summer season. Another good idea is to check auction websites because here you may find vintage designs that aren't available anywhere else anymore, so you'll be uniquely stylish.
