Hermes

This luxury fashion house’s range of iconic scarves and carrés (square silk scarves) are made from the finest materials. The wool and cashmere come from the best farmers and weavers around. And the finishings are immaculate, right down to the braided fringe, which never unravels, even with long wear. The very deep, almost Bordeaux red scarf is my favorite. On one side, there’s a bit of pink, and on the other, violet. And then, right at the edge, you see the Hermès red.
