Scarves Scarf of The Day 2024 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

Wow 60 pages behind 🤣 . I have no idea what the theme is sadly.
This is how behind I am. I took out a painted version of cloisonné necklace and earring set way back weeks and weeks ago when cloisonné was being talked about. I finally got it on with a scarf today haha. The adjustment times between seasons always pulls me away from scarf wearing and free time to peruse here. Sweats and manual labor times for me. Miss my silk friends.
Sotd Jardins de soie and my necklace that I think go well together with the little flowers on the shawl. Having such a cold snap right now I am still very much in shawl (and hat 😡 ) mode.

So you only missed a few days?
Your SOTD is great. I always love off theme SOTD. It is what people really do when left to their own devices.
Hahahaa. It actually has been moving slower than usual I noticed thankfully haha. Sometimes it’s like 10 pages in two days lol
And thank you
"I decided on the pineapple." I don't know why, but I found this quite amusing. A beautiful choice on you, two lovely black and yellow Identical Cousin scarves, and I am quite envious of your Les Coqs. I enjoyed this posting very much. Thank you, HE!Good morning!
Bright yellow today. And bringing out two scarves who could both fit. Am I going with hens or pineapples??
Les Coqs & Index Bromelia - both with slightly problematic wide yellow borders.

I decided on the pineapple…
And apologies for the awful grammar in yesterdays post. As non-English-native speaker a busy morning post without proofreading Can be embarrassing to read after edit has expired- not for the last time….
Wish you a bright Day!
Welcome, and a lovely scarf from your mom. You look great, and thank you for sharing with us.Scarf of the day: Actually, this is my first Hermes scarf that I got from my mom about some years ago. Unfortunately, I don't have the details of the name, materials, etc. (If anyone knows, please let me know!) I like it because it has two different designs by the side. Have a great day all!
An all purpose scarf, indeed. You look great, and thank you for sharing with us.
I adore this wonderful scarf, VK. Trying to convince myself to get it before it disappears. Each time you wear yours, my resolve weakens. It is lovely on you.
Thank you, Fifi. Yes, I managed to spend a lot of time researching themes and colors. More to come!
Thank you, LKB. Of course, the scarves I purchased during my working years were not Hermes. Kind of wish they had been.
A pair of beautiful scarves on you, LKB. As always, thank you so much for your thoughtful posts.
Love your hair, Anna, and your scarf!I like that Splash Park, but you think this is big hair?!! I think I got you beat today

Thank you for sharing with us, piperdog!
Love both of these designs and colors on you, Jereni. Such beautiful scarves on a lovely lady.
Very cool, Croisette! It's red, it has fringe, it is gorgeous. I love this scarf. Thank you for showing us.
Brilliant groupings, Fifi. Flower scarves with the name of the flower in the scarf name. And, of course, your Jardin scarves. All lovely. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Cookie. After I posted I noticed that the ribbons on the scarf ended up looking like long earrings on me. I'm amazed at how some of these designs tie so well, especially when I'm not even trying.
As others have said, this was a brilliant Plan B. Two of a Kind, both for color and theme.Well Scarflandia - I had a whole plan for today… but that’s gone to H E Double Hocky Sticks in a hand basket. All I can say is ‘Derp’
So - ahem - here we go anyway!
The shades of turquoise in both Peuple du Vent Bandana moussie and Paradis de Soie are almost exactly alike!

And they both have birds!

Always delightful when you drop by, Nomad. It is Two of a Kind week, with scarf colors and themes intended, but you are not the first to show a scarf and a piece of jewelry that are beautifully paired. Accidently on theme, but we'd love you and your scarf offerings anyways.
Yesterday I didn’t have time to grab a scarf because I got up at 4:30 in the morning to make sure ŵe could reach the path of totality in time for the eclipse. So today I made sure to wear my outer space themed scarf and appreciate the daffodils and foxgloves that are coming up thanks to the sun and its warmth and light!
Fabulous scarves and thank you for the Nomi video. How amazingly cool that you saw him in concert.
Your DH and DGD are lovely in their focused view. What a special event. I was on a plane and saw nothing.Love your three-of-a-kind collection of "map" scarves @Karenska!
I am so so sorry to hear of your mom's accident and wish her well (and you in your caregiving duties!). We were in the partial path but we found it very very cool to see the eclipse through our glasses and to follow it along as it went from sliver, to smile to grin to gone! Here are two viewers enjoying the cosmic spectacle from three states apart and eighty years difference in age: DH and DGD

You know I love love love this particular two-of-a kind @EtsyBoss!
Thank you @Living.la.vida.fifi -- a beautiful choice for Eclipse Day. I am your Identical Cousin on both Brandebourgs and Brides de Gala Fleuris-- two absolute favorite pieces!
I share your fondness for MP @Sickgrl13 and have also acquired more than one format and iteration of this wonderful design.
Amazing scarf-on-site for the ages!! Two beautiful cousins and what a great photo @Cookiefiend. As to your Age of Aquarius-- at least now the eclipse is over we can all sing another silly song: "Gliddy glub gloopy, nibby nabby noopy, la la lo lo... Good Morning Starshine! The Earth says Hello..."and 🙏.
You have an 80% Scarf-on-Site situation there @Redbirdhermes...
Two wonderful two-of-a-kind color pairing @Locquaciousloc! Glad you have time to play...
That is a Rule Up With Which I Could Not Put, dear @textilegirl! I am breaking out in hives just thinking about it!
Good morning! As Animapolis goes with everything, I am sure there is another scarf in the closet to match it - just did not have time to think
But off cause the same knot as almost always - flattering called the echidna-knot (I kid you not!) it highlights the corners and leave some space around the neck.
Some combos just work

Yes, please do - it'll be great to see some more of the dip dyes!Really just one of those serendipitous moments. The event had two purposes, to allow scarfies to bring in a scarf (or more, I forget) and allow Hermes artisans to work their dip dye magic; you could then pick up the scarf in a few days.
The second idea was to select from a few scarfs to which Hermes had already applied the dip dye treatment. I couldn't attend the event but a dear friend planned to go and I asked her, if possible, to pick up two for me in whatever colors she thought would suit (I didn't have any scarves on hand that I wanted to run through the process but I was happy to have a selection from what Hermes had already produced). Remarkably this one was part of the duo (the other was Ciels Byzantines in a Bleu Hydra sort of cw, strong, mid blue). As I recall, Hermes didn't use scarves that hadn't passed quality control, and I seem to recall the prices were the same, but the selection was totally random. She reported that there were oldies like Longchamps as well as newer designs. I think I have a pic from the selection and when I get my tech difficulties with my photo library sorted out I'll try to post what I can. Thanks for asking!
Parade en Fanfare in the autumn colourway today, suiting the wet weather we can't seem to shake off here in the UK.
Planning to wear one of my brighter colourways of this design tomorrow so consider this part one of two!

Wednesday - Recent Hermes Annual Themes
Today I'm going to take a look at Hermes annual themes in recent years. The themes are trending to be less specific than in the past, and far more enigmatic.
For example, the annual theme for 2016 was "Nature at Full Gallop", and brought us such scarves as (clockwise from upper left): Au Coin du Feu, The Nature of Men, Au Bout du Monde, and Panthera Pardus. The Nature of Men is a 60 mm design by Nigel Peake for the Men's Department. More than once Hermes has issued a men's design which is specifically named for its annual theme.
The 2020 theme was "Innovation in the Making" and brought us such innovative designs as the first double face scarf, Formule Chic, and a 140 cm round scarf, Clair de Lune. There have been many double face scarves issued since Formule Chic, but not with entirely different designs on each side as this one had. As far as I know, round scarves have not appeared since. I looked up the model shots for every colorway of the original round Clair de Lune, and the model was posed topless in each one!! The round shape was certainly innovative, but apparently even Hermes couldn't figure out how to tie a scarf that has no corners.
The theme for 2021 was Odyssey and is celebrated by the men's design Hermes Odyssey. Eleftheria was also issued that year.
The theme for 2022 was Lightness, which celebrated different forms of levity. "Lightness is when the everyday becomes wonderous." Scarves issued that year included Les Mustangs II, Le Sacre des Saisons, and the hilarious Sur Mon Nuage, shown here in two different colorways.
Last year was the year of Astonishment, a time for surprise, reinvention and imagination. Just in case you didn't immediately recognize what (clockwise from upper left) Tea for Two, Planifleurs, Super Silk Quest and Le Carnaval des Animaux all had in common. Astonishment works for me.
This year, 2024, Hermes is celebrating Hermes. Some wags have alleged that Hermes is always celebrating Hermes, but 2024 does end in 24, the famous address of the Hermes mothership store. This explains the issuance of (moving clockwise from upper left): the Hermes Flagship design, as well as Mystere au 24 which provides yet another look at the upstairs at 24 Faubourg Saint-Honore and Emile Hermes' office. Beaute Composee gives a nod to classic Hermes scarf compositions using riding equipment, as well as a look at modern beauty products. Finally, Silla de Gaucho celebrates Hermes saddle designs, and the Hermes legacy as a saddle-maker and the leather goods that are still beloved today.
In celebration of Hermes, I'm wearing Hermes Flagship as my scarf of the day. (It’s breezy out, hence the fluffy looking mod shot.)

Let’s see, what do these two scarves have in common? Not size. Not design or colour… oh yes, I bought them both while I was meant to be basking in the sunshine on ban island 
if this week is meant to be exploring our existing collections, I have failed miserably!!!
