The Impact of Scarf on World History
what is silk ? People wear scarves for warmth, fashion or to show social status.
The history of the scarf dates back more than 3,000 years, and the origin is much debated.
-
But the earliest known record is from ancient Egypt dating back to 1350 BC. Queen Nefertiti wore it, and she put a scarf on her head. This is not to be confused with the headscarf, which has a much longer and more complex history. Some say the scarf was an ornament between her scalp and her jeweled headpiece, while others say it was meant to show social status.
-
The Chinese army was also one of the first to wear scarves. In 1000 BC, statues of Chinese soldiers showed rectangular scarves draped over their shoulders. The scarf of this period was more of a symbol of class status,
-
and what really made the silk scarf popular around the world was because Hermes designed the first printed silk scarf, they imported strong and durable Chinese silk, woven into the silk scarf and pattern that are still popular today.
Since then, Chinese silk scarves stand out from everything that came before them.

The Significance of Hermes for Custom Print Scarf.
The Histroy of Hermès
The inspiration for the Hermes logo 
came from a painting by Alfred Dore that was owned by the third-generation owner of the company, Emile Hermes. The painting depicted a four-wheel carriage and a coachman, and it was intended to remind future generations to keep the equestrian element deeply ingrained in the company's DNA, as Hermes was founded on horse tack and would not be what it is today without it.
Hermes was founded in 1837 as a French luxury saddlery store that specialized in the manufacture and distribution of horse tack. Over many years, the third generation of the family, who took over the business during World War I, traveled to the United States and witnessed the end of the horse-drawn era and the rise of the automotive industry. He made two key decisions: the first was to shift the company's main product from saddles to handbags, and the second was to maintain traditional handcraftsmanship in the manufacturing process, even as the product changed, and to indicate on the inside of each item which artisan had made it, so that when customers needed repairs or maintenance in the future, they could only be done by the same artisan.
In Hermès' products, in addition to the classic handbags BRIKIN and KELLY, the most famous and best-selling are undoubtedly the printed silk scarves. It is said that a silk scarf is sold every 38 seconds globally.
In 1937, on the occasion of Hermes' 100th anniversary, the brand launched its first printed silk scarf, designed by Robert Dumas,whose father-in-law was Emile 丨Hermès, featuring a lady and a bus, and made from Chinese mulberry silk imported for printing. Since then, printed silk scarves have become an indispensable fashion item in people's daily lives.
Why are Hermes scarves so expensive yet still so popular?
This is no doubt due to the brand's consistent brand philosophy, high-quality handmade products, and the materials used.
- Materials, Hermes' scarves do not use ordinary silk, but the highest quality mulberry silk from China, and they have always used twill weave fabric. To make a 90x90cm scarf, 300 cocoons are needed, which can produce 450 kilometers of silk thread, equivalent to wrapping New York six times.
- Unique design,every Hermes printed silk scarf features hand-drawn patterns commissioned from artists, and each one typically takes six months to create. The designs often feature horses, giraffes, trees, flowers, and buildings, which are classic elements of the brand. The Hermes brand has said that each scarf and each design has its own story. Therefore, a Hermes scarf is not just a scarf but also a collectible work of art with collectors willing to collect them.
- Over 75,000 different colors, with each scarf using over 27 different colors on average. These colors are extracted from pure-colored raw materials, such as the roots and stems of plants and the elements of minerals. Although modern technology can use computers for scarf printing and coloring, Hermès insists on using manual coloring.
- High-end handcrafted hemmed, after the print silk scarf is dyed, the silk scarf will be sewn by skilled craftsmen. Each print silk scarf takes about 30 minutes to sew by hand, and a craftsman can finish only 7-8 silk scarves per day.
In total, it takes about 18 months to make a Custom Hermes silk scarf from start to finish.

The Evolution of Modern Custom Digital Printing Methods
2000+ years ago
Origin of Screen Printing
Screen printing originated in China over two thousand years ago. During the Qin and Han dynasties, a method called "clamp dyeing" was used. By the Eastern Han period, "clamp batik" became popular and improved the quality of printed products. In the Sui Dynasty's Daye reign, frames with stretched silk screens were introduced for printing, leading to the development of screen printing from clamp batik.
1884 years ago
Inkjet printing technology
In 1884, an American named C.H. Richard injected water into a needle and applied pressure to eject droplets of liquid. By controlling the direction of the droplet's movement, an image could be formed on paper known as "fog printing." However, at that time, the needle and ink were ineffective, resulting in poor results. It wasn't until 1960 that fog printing became practical.
1995 years ago
digital printing machine with 4 colors
At that time, the main method used was hot foam spray head with a resolution of 300dpi. Later on, it gradually developed to 600dpi and primarily utilized 4 colors. It can be applied on fabrics effectively
1999 - 2000 years
Digital inkjet printer with 6 OR 8 COLORS
Digital printers were showcased in various countries such as the Netherlands, Japan, Switzerland, USA, Italy, and China's Honghua Company during this period. With resolutions ranging from 360-720 dpi and a processing time of just six hours per print job, these machines can create product patterns with consistent coloration and intricate detailing. The dye usage has advanced from four to six-eight or even two sets of six-eight colors while refining the application process further. Additionally,the control software functionality continues to improve steadily.
