Lisa Proves That Her Hermès Scrunchie Is The Silk Scarf Of New Generation

Sales of vintage Hermès scarves hit a new high during the pandemic, as fashion fans scoured consignment sites for investment accessories to make their Zoom looks pop. Now, the brand’s signature silks have made it onto the wrists of Gen-Z influencers, who have found a youth-centric way of doing screen-chic the Hermès way.

Step up Lisa, she of BLACKPINK fame. The 23-year-old Thai pop idol has close to 50 million Instagram followers hanging off her every post owing to her ultra-luxe twist on K-Pop style. The Celine ambassador and member of the Bulgari family has a healthy appetite for designer brands and an accessories collection that could rival a modern-day Carrie Bradshaw’s.

Nestled between her Bulgari Serpenti and B Zero bangles in a recent Instagram post sat an Hermès scrunchie – a red herring among the platinum and gold, and a welcome dash of color in her otherwise monochrome get-up.

The Claudia maxi hair tie features three of the French house’s splashy prints, framed by Hermès-orange piping. No two scrunchies are the same, as the patterned squares are cut at random to match “the chosen color ambiance” of the accessory. (Side note: has a hair bobble ever been chicer?) Hermès recommends wearing the €185 scrunchie (which is coming to the UK soon) around the wrist, as well as to secure braids, ponytails and buns. As Lisa knows, a bracelet will receive the most airtime in Insta pics, so she saves the French silks for offline hair-styling moments.

The scrunchie is a smart product development for a house at the upper echelons of the luxury fashion market. The peppy wristlets are half the price of Hermès’s classic scarves, and neatly translate the bourgeois codes of the brand into an accessible, fun product. Ponytail elastics were also big news on the spring/summer 2021 runway of Lisa’s beloved Celine, where models wore them as upper-arm adornments.

And don't forget to take a look at her choices of clothes in the pictures and other jewels she wore. With the title as Global ambassador for BVLGARI, Lisa flaunted two different bracelets, a ring and a watch from this Italian brand. All of them shone perfectly around her Hermes scrunchie.

Not just Lisa, the members of BLACKPINK happen to enjoy using scrunchies as accessories. Jennie and Rosé are the two most seen using this beauty item. It is quite easy to understand since both of them have long hair, scrunchies would be perfect to tie their hair up in case of the hot weather. Jennie is even considered as the one who makes this style go viral all over the place.
