There's been some lively discussion on our forum regarding the old process of making Hermes scarfs using woodblocks. Found a few printmaking videos on YT that show current silkscreen printmaking methods. These were taken at Hermes' "Festival des Metiers" at 583 Park Avenue with silk maker Kamel Hamadou in 2012.
Here is one video from Beckford
