An extraordinary Hermès silk scarf designed by Caty Latham, Scarabées et Pectoraux brings the mystery and majesty of Ancient Egypt into the realm of wearable art. At the heart of the design is the sacred winged scarab — a timeless Egyptian symbol of rebirth, solar power, and protection — surrounded by ornate “pectorals,” or ceremonial chest ornaments once worn by pharaohs. Rendered with jewel-like precision, each pectoral is adorned with lotus flowers, falcons, papyrus motifs, and sun disks — every detail referencing the spiritual and royal grandeur of ancient times.
This scarf stands out not only for its symbolic richness but also for its artistic complexity. The luminous turquoise backdrop contrasts beautifully with the golden and white detailing, making it visually striking and historically evocative. Hermès rarely explores Egyptian iconography to this extent, making this piece especially collectible among connoisseurs of cultural and archival designs.
