Product Description
This vintage Hermès 42 Bolduc Ribbon silk scarf in cream silk with a multicoloured print brings a refined accent to lunch dates, gallery visits or everyday tailoring. Finished with hand-rolled edges, it is in very good condition with light traces of use and a few stains.
Q: What size is this Hermès Bolduc Ribbon silk scarf? A: This scarf measures approximately 42 x 42 cm, making it a compact silk scarf that works well as a neck scarf, hair accessory, bag accent or even a pocket-square-style accessory. Please refer to the Measurements on this page for the exact dimensions of this item.
Q: How can a 42 cm Hermès scarf be worn? A: A scarf in this size is best suited to lighter, compact styling. Popular ways to wear it include tied at the neck, knotted onto a handbag handle, worn in the hair, wrapped at the wrist, or styled as a decorative accent in a blazer pocket.
Q: Is a 42 cm scarf large enough to wear as a headscarf or top? A: It is generally better for smaller styling options rather than full head wraps or top styling. A 42 cm scarf is ideal for neat knots and accent styling, while larger carré formats usually offer more coverage and tying options.
Q: Is this a good everyday Hermès scarf format? A: Yes. Smaller Hermès silk scarves are especially popular because they are easy to style and add colour without overwhelming an outfit. This 42 cm format is a practical choice if you want a refined vintage Hermès accessory for regular use.
