Hi Ladies, I am a new poster, but a long-time lurker. Hermes silk twills are my main focus, but I also collect the cashmeres, plisses, pochettes, mousselines. I LOVE talking about Hermes scarves, and I know 99% of the patterns name, and by sight. If you share the same passion, let's chat!
Some questions:
1. How many do you have?
2. What was your first scarf?
3. What is the oldest scarf in your collection?
4. What pattern do you have the most of?
5. Most predominant color in your collection?
6. Worst/most bizzare pattern ever issued?
My answers:
1. About 100 silk twills
2. Vive le Vent (1995) in orange. I was bowled over by the intricate shading, the layers of silkscreens, the white opaque overlay. I actually felt dizzy from the beauty of such a thing! I went back the next day for the lime green, and the obsession began.
3. The oldest scarf I have is a purple 1988 Poesie Persane, purchased from another collector.
4. The patterns I have the most of is Rocking Horse (7).
5. Most predominent color? Blue.
6. I would have to say Magie de Mains rank high.
Any other questions or comments you have, feel free to post them here! Like I said, I can't get enough scarf talk!
