While the traditional Hermès scarf is a perfect square shape, the Hermès Twilly scarf is a long, narrow, ribbon-like piece of silk that comes in a stunning array of colors and patterns.
During the 12th Century Japan created the technique of Marble Paper, which made its way to Europe where it was later applied to textile. The Father of the Nose family went to Germany to learn about the process and brought it to Japan. Today this family is the only one in the world who produces the craft of Suminagashi – Floating Silk.
After 10 years of searching Hermes discovered Kyoto Marble and have since collaborated with them exclusively for Marble Silk.
Often referred to as a “hundred colour print”, most of the process is done by the hands of a craftsman and carries that unique touch.
This Hermes video shows the exquisite and rare process of this almost lost art.
