Scarves Chiffon (mousseline) scarves

[scarf1]

No news on whether or not 'proper' moussies are returning for SS20. We'll have to wait 6 months before we can find out.

Sure hope so!

Thanks! And please know that you are largely responsible for my deep dive into the world of mousselines in the past twelve months, for which I am eternally grateful!

Just beautiful. Perfect Easter colors.
And wow, it must have been really warm up there yesterday!

I was in the boutique last week, and the SM warned me that mousseline scarves snag very easily, and with having young children, she'd advise against me purchasing any. Can you help me understand just how fragile they are, and what your experiences have been? I think they are beautiful, and have particular interest in two currently available, but not if the fragility will be an issue.

Thank you - It was warm enough for sleeveless linen Elaine!

If you read some of the posts on this thread about fragiiity and care, this topic has been discussed. I have quite a few mousselines, and though they appear to be delicate, they are easier for me to care for than the cashmere silks. The older vintage mousselines going back ten years or more were very strong and have held up really well. They have gotten thinner through the last several years IMO.

My 2005 Toile d’Hermes is documented here surviving a fingernail snag, red wine shower, and velcroed pocket. Not a pouff, pout or pull to be seen. The 2014 Mythique Phoenixes have not been put to such tests.

Has anyone acquired the Brides de Gala Quadra Tattoo scarf 140? I was at the boutique today and it felt so much thinner than the traditional mousseline. Would love to hear your opinions. TIA
