This $1,110 Samurai Shawl Will Make You Swoon
Embracing Your Inner Warrior Never Felt So Good

Last year, Hermès debuted its exquisite Parures de Samouraïs silk twill scarf, a collaboration with Dallas art collectors Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Mueller, whose eponymous Dallas museum nestled in the Harwood District houses nearly 1,000 samurai ensemble pieces.

The scarf and its various colorways were a beautifully intricate testament to samurai warrior adornments prevalent between the 14th and 18th centuries.
Now, the French luxury goods label is reintroducing the scarf as a slightly bigger shawl. Also designed by Aline Honoré, the reinvented silk and cashmere shawl (140×140 centimeters opposed to the scarf’s 90×90 centimeters) is $1,100 and available in seven colorations.
It showcases floral motifs, clan coats of arms, and a suit of armor in bronze, iron, gold, leather, silk, and lacquer. Perfect for these remaining chilly days of the season — or simply as a fabulous addition to an accessories collection — the shawl is available in the Dallas Hermès boutique and online.
