hello, my name is DQ and i'm an hermes scarf addict.

i don't know what posessed me to do this, but i counted my scarves last night -- 70+.

then i did something even dumber: i tried to figure out what i spent on them. even under-estimating at $200 each, that's over $14,000!!!!

and i'm still surfing ebay to look for more. ush:

Hi DQ, and welcome to this 12-step meeting of Scarfie's Anonymous (aka SAs)

I'll walk you through the steps really quickly.

Step 1: Count all your scarves. Lay them out, handle them, fold, them, ooh and aah over them.

Step 2-11: Repeat step one

Step 12: Go to the boutiques and recruit more scarves for steps 1-11.

Oh wait. Am I supposed to help bring you to some sense of sanity regarding scarves? Because if so, I'm kicking your behind on number/$ spent, so you maybe you'd want to talk to someone else. I'm really best at encouraging money to disappear. In fact, I'll just disappear myself. There MUST be a scarf out there I haven't used yet. (Doing the Homer Simpson, eyes-half-shut drool sound)

DQ, you are my hero! I'm only in the 25-30 range and half of those are pochettes.

 

[CynthiaNYC]

Hee hee!
Just think if you had paid retail for all of them! Your total would be more like $25K. That's a heck of a nice bag

(i didn't count the pouchettes or mousselines. :shame: )

Rule of thumb -- cannot total your purchases, otherwise you realize the insane amounts you have spent...

 

[mrssparkles]

I am no where near the size of your collection, DQ but I have this to say ... the enjoyment your scarves give you, is P.R.I.C.E.L.E.S.S.

I did that once, and I freaked. Never ever again.

 

[bprimuslevy]

I have some catching up to do. You're not an addict, you're an inspiration!

 

[Rose]

I am NEVER going to count my scarves!

 

[dressage queen]

I am NEVER going to count my scarves!

lol, i always knew you were a wise woman, rose.

i'll feel better after HG and GF log on and tell us how many they have.

 

[hermesgroupie]

I'm around there with you, but GF skunks us both.

so funny because just this morning i opened a bag in my closet and found like 2 scarves i forgot about. i have only been collecting short time and lordie is right. i keep syaing i am going to pare down but um, that hasn't happened yet. think of it this way- you have one hell of a fabulous collection.

LOL! I couldn't agree more.

The correct system for totatling HS purchase is the HSE Hermes Scarf Equivalent , not the dollar, yaun, yen or whatever
1 carre = 1 HSE
1 pochette =1/3 HSE
1 pointu = 2/3 HSE

so, 50 carres =50 HSE ! A much more agreeable number !
