Q: What is the Hermès Brides de Gala Silk Scarf? A: Designed by Hugo Grygkar in 1957, “Brides de Gala” is perhaps the most famous and iconic scarf design from Hermès. It depicts two ceremonial bridles originally used by the Emperor of Mexico. This vintage piece features the motif in blue silk with a distinctive contrasting dotted border.
Q: What material is it made from? A: It is crafted from 100% silk, celebrated for its smooth texture and elegant drape. The scarf features the brand’s signature hand‑rolled edges (*roulotté*), which are stitched by hand in France.
