Story & heritage

The Twilly is the carré reimagined as a long, narrow ribbon of silk — the house's printed artistry shrunk to a band that can be tied where a square cannot. It carries the same designs as the scarves, often the playful and youthful ones, and became a way to wear Hermès silk lightly and informally.

It is most associated today with bag styling — knotted around a Kelly or Birkin handle — but it is equally a neckerchief, a hair tie, a wrist wrap or a belt. The fragrance line Twilly d'Hermès, launched in 2017, borrowed its name and its free-spirited register.

Materials & craft

The Twilly is cut from the same silk twill as the carré, screen-printed from the house's vast colour palette and finished with hand-rolled hems and pointed ends. It is woven and printed within the house's own Lyon silk operation, the same chain that produces the squares.

Its narrow format means a single motif is composed lengthwise rather than within a square, so each Twilly is a distinct design rather than a cropped scarf.

How to choose & style

The defining move is knotting it around a top-handle bag, where it adds colour and protects the leather. Beyond that it ties at the neck like a skinny scarf, wraps the wrist as a bracelet, threads through a ponytail, or loops through belt loops. Bright, graphic prints make the biggest statement; the equestrian motifs keep it classic. It is the lowest-commitment way into the house's silk.
