Luxury brand label Hermes seems to be fascinated by Indian art, as their new scarf collection for Autumn/Winter 2008 is mainly inspired by the mystical prints and colors that is so reminiscent of India. It is the same theme that also inspired the previous Summer/Spring 2008 collection.

The use of vibrant colors and geometric patterns are prevalent in the recent collection, plus a generous display of popular images in the Indian culture, that of elephants and ceremonial scenes. The materials used are silk and cashmere, some scarves embellished with embroidery, sequins and glass beads.

Hermes is indeed gearing into a humanitarian role - a certain percentage of the sale from the new scarves will go to a special foundation to benefit the children of India in the effort of providing education throughout the country.
