A jacquard is a type of weave that creates a design within the fabric and not "on" the fabric. The Jacquard loom was invented by Joseph-Marie Jacquard between 1801 and 1810.
Originally cards were used to make the complicated weave, but today the computer us used a lot. He came from Lyon. The design cannot be added after the material has been woven.
Hope this helps,

saw this on wikipedia:
The seen-everywhere "Brides De Gala" version, introduced in the 1970s, has been produced more than 70,000 times.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermès
this is wrong, it was issued in 1957? right?
question for experts: how many scarves are produced in a design per season? is it per design or C/W? thanks!!!

I don't know the "cashmere blanket/shawls". Guess I will have to keep an eye out for one. Since I collect jacquards, I would be interested. Always on the lookout for a new one. Too bad the "Chat" scarf always goes for such money
I am pretty much finished as I think I have almost every jacquard pattern (especially love the kangaroo!).
there is a very pretty one on ebay here Caraibes
i have no clue if it is authentic, just happened to see it and thought it was quite pretty
Perhaps in some form or another, 70,000 have been produced. I have on way of knowing if that is true. Here is some information. This site is a great one for research. http://www.luxuryscarves.com/en/10_database/colorway.php?ID=21 Also very valuable are

It is my understanding they print as many as are ordered, and then some.
Thanks PalmBeachPink for adding to my knowledge of Hermès; I haven't thought much about jacquards beyond the vintage patterns. It is a pretty scarf.
We seem to have a mystery going on with the Quai aux Fleurs below. All the links and comments so far are in the link below from the H Scarf AT thread. If there's any other info needed, please let me know. I'm dying to find out what year this scarf was made.
I did send a letter to the boys at Luxury Scarves and they indicated it could not be the original 1952 issue because it does have the copyright symbol(bummer!), so now I'm on a mission to find out what year reissue it is. Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I just picked up what seems likely to be a genuine Hermes scarf in a charity shop - Bride de Cour. Unfortunately the label has been removed so all I can go on is the quality of the scarf. The only thing that's giving me pause for thought is that the underside is a bit lighter, and I understand Hermes scarves are usually colour saturated on both sides. Does anyone know whether this pattern is a common fake? Any thoughts most welcome!

My mother is a huge fan of Hermes scarves and I am going to Spain in April. I wanted to know if there were any scarf styles that are really popular over in Europe that I could get her. I would ask her, but I want it to be a surprise. Thanks so much!
