The “one neck” argument!! That is a good one. But there’s 365 days a year…I will confess to being quite omnivorous, Lellabelle. I like anything beautiful in general, so that includes many of H designs, and will happily hit BIN if I see the unusual (or bunnies)! My DH frequently uses the "one neck" argument against my collex..... but I see his point and am trying to Kondo.
At the beginning of my slide down the orange slope, I was not very discerning and so have ended up with several (many?) scarves I never wear. Also been conned by computer monitors several times and bought scarves which looked quite different upon arrival

So very nice to “see” you, dear Moma, inspiring with your beautiful cw of Grand Vie du Nord.
That is a spectacular cw, for sure. Mine is soft pink and plissed. I really love this design.
Well saidWhat a wonderful way to describe it: an omnivorous appetite for beauty
I would respectfully counter the ‘one neck’ argument with ‘one life’ to enjoy them in… if they bring you joy, and it’s not harming you or anyone else, then value them for the joy they bring you, whether that’s on the neck or admired in the collection. Its easy enough to divest a few if you choose to. Also, you are a master at pairing different scarves and formats, so in simple H math that means your collection can rationally be twice the size, right?
Actually, I’d say that despite the breadth of your collection, there is always a meaningful story or reason for purchase, and your style is both distinctive and recognizable. I feel I could tell if a mod shot was yours or not without any other identifier. Your collection is lovely because of how well it reflects who you are; your curiosity, your thoughtfulness and diverse interests. Collecting changes over time and however large or small your collection is, I hope you’ll continue to share it here!
So pretty! I love this whole look.So very nice to “see” you, dear Moma, inspiring with your beautiful cw of Grand Vie du Nord.

This is super cute! It reminds of these little handkerchiefs I had as a child, which I loved.I thought for sure when I pulled out Les Triples, to help soften my look w my black top, that those three rascals surely would be playing w boats in a fountain. But alas, no boats. Just falling into a fountain haha. Maybe they were pulling out the boat and fell in

Thisssss is perfection!! Mulberry will be on everyone’s closet wishlist after seeing you in it. It just doesn’t get any better than this. I am absolutely smitten with your colorway. it is gorgeous w that pale pink inside and snappy border. Wow
What a great corner in the design. This is so fun and whimsical
Haha clever expansion of theme. Stunning!! And your cobalt blue top equally looks stunning. The detail in it
I had totally forgotten about the hem on this. What a perfect nautical colorway for this Design. And your first tie…wowza!My new La Reale triangle is right on theme! It is based on the La Reale scarf design. "Among the major works on show at the Musee National de la Marine, in Paris, is this sumptuous, carved transom stern dating from the 17th century. The ship in question is the Reale, from the royal fleet of Louis XIV. This remarkable warship, noted for its elegant lines and rich ornamental carvings, was sailed by an exceptionally large crew. Reserved for the admiral of the fleet, she sailed until the beginning of the 18th century." (from the Story Behind) I am approaching a milestone birthday next year, so I am collecting birth year designs for the occasion. Happy to have this updated version of a classic-- striped hem, new format and all!

This doesn’t even look like the same scarf. I love it when that happens w a design.
SO happy this worked out for you. It is glorious in its design and on you. Definitely add pieces in these colors into your closet. These look amazing on you
What a unique colorway and unique design with the white stencil work. A graphic marvel! I can see what it is a favorite
your posts are always such a joy to read. I love that we all know you so well from your silkie sharingInspired by @LKBNOLA to show a birthyear scarf with a nautical theme. This is Compass, with some artifacts on display at a local yacht club. Now, I am not a good match with brown, but Compass is rather uncommon although not a sought-after grail. So I bought this. Also inspired by @LKBNOLA, I recently acquired another cw using her Colour Correction Program justificationIt is in the mail.

Two ship scarves with a contrasting detail in the design.

Both have ships circling the design. The ships on Silhouettes Navales face inwards, while the fishing boats on Retour de Peche face outwards. I'mto say that I rarely wear Silhouettes as it makes me feel seasick. Worn in a bias fold, everything on the scarf is upside down and I feel queasy when I look down at it.
You have made both stylish pieces work perfectly on you.Not on theme, and asking for help on the pattern of this Maxi. The format is a bit difficult to work with in that the length is beyond that of the normal men's oblong, leaving few options for inventive knotting, it seems. Oh well, it is a great, sunny day in NTEX...wearing my new Tecovas lizard ropers today on their maiden voyage. An unexpected and much appreciated gift from my D-Son, who is much more into that look than I (after all, he IS a Native Born Texan, and I am NOT!)

love being sisters in this design with you.
Awe sorry for their loss. This scarf is a gem, and that green in it is so delicate
wow love how this tie is highlighting this interior design so well. I don’t even recognized the cw when tied like this. Gorgeous!
Doesn’t get more water themed than this! What a pop of color
So jealous you can make this colorway work so well!

Can't show all my cards at once, Belleboots and scarf are great, and work so well together. The colour combo is very polished, and you’ve wrangled the silk with an expert hand. Now.. to find a coordinating hat…
Thankyou dear Karenska, It is from the Spring/Summer 22 season Tied Up In Knots C/w 1
Thank you, dear Hotgalaxy, it’s beautiful and so sunny. Very witty, too.
I think your scarf looks like mine. It’s Calvacadour then.Not on theme, and asking for help on the pattern of this Maxi.

Here is mine:
All of these are wonderful, but aren’t Christine Henry’s colorful designs so wonderful?
Sisters with Rives Fertiles, a favorite design.
Oh, @Maedi, I am so glad you found this beautiful cw of this fab design. That lavande/bleu is so pretty on you...Congratulations, sister!
Wow! What a vibrant beauty @Coco2606! I am your very moody, stormy navy/grey and white sister in this lovely design...

"There's gotta be a boat in here somewhere?" Such a charming, mischevious scarf...Looks lovely in the pink @Nomad!I have never collected this design and when I see mod shots like yours I always wonder why @Coco2606! Beautiful.
Thank you!
WHY? @paula24jen? Why on earth are you rehoming this beauty that looks so so lovely on you? I urge you to reconsider!!!
Thank you! Truly cool that they added this feature to a cashmere format.
Thank you dear enabler! I have a whole "clutch" of scarves that owe their real estate in my scarf drawer to you @momasaurus...
This whole look is just so lovely. This design is amazing-- I have a pale blue one too and it completely alters the scene. I am sure I was inspired by your pastel cw for that one. Can we ever have enough of Aline Honore @Karenska?So very nice to “see” you, dear Moma, inspiring with your beautiful cw of Grand Vie du Nord.
