Gorgeous vintage 1950s midcentury rectangular silk scarf by the House of Jaques Heim Paris. This couture scarf is a true piece of mid-century style, with an abstract print rendered in bold, graphic diagonal line stripes in magenta, white, red, black, and tan. White fringed silk at the ends.

Jacques Heim ran a highly successful couture house, which closed when he died. A Resistance agent during the war, he went on to dress bombshells such as Sofia Loren and Brigitte Bardot. As head of the Paris couturiers’ chamber of commerce, he helped the industry navigate the age of prêt-à-porter. His pieces are iconic and much prized.
