Who doesn’t love Hermès scarves? As a fashion staple, its carrés, otherwise known as scarves, have now been captured into a book. Titled, “Le Carrés,” and published by Les Editions du Regard, Hermès has described the book as “the scarf as a novel, the scarf as a world of shapes, and the scarf as a philosophy of color.”

Apparently, each one of Hermès’ scarves tell a story, and this book is their anthology.

The book It narrates, through images and text, the existence of the now mythical silk twill “carré”.
