Every time that I bought a scarf thinking “I dont like this one part but I’ll tie it so that part does not show” even if I loved the rest of the scarf... I ended up never loving it and I got rid of it. Too many fish in the sea to settle for something less than completely fabulous.
I think this makes the most sense! Most of us have large collections and it should be about curating wisely. Thank you for your input!!
100% no compromise with anything H
I love this. Do not settle! [emoji5]
Yes I have! I'm not a huge fan of the tassels on the PdS and they are quite important in the design. They remind me, being European, of old fashioned interiors with heavy curtains. But I do wear this scarf with great pleasure. I have recently learned more about they signification in Japonese culture and mystical knots. So I'm even more happy to have bough it.
Do you have special designs in mind? For this season, I have some concerned about Acte III. Not sure if I enjoy the moon or the character with the donkey head. Nonetheless, I guess this scarf will look fantastic once tied. There are a lot of differents patterns which make it interesting, the curtain of the front for instance. I will have to check myself !
I think it’s so interesting how there are pieces of particular designs that some people love and some people do not like at all. Last season, I was obsessed with the Jeu de Omnibus Remix- only in the way it tied. For me, I really didn’t like the central design of the ladies playing cards. I know it’s based off the first scarf...but still. I didn’t settle and don’t find it missing.
This season I didn’t find a ton interesting until I saw how the Baobab Cat scarf was tied! Those colors and combos are so gorgeous. However, for me I am not a fan of the cat coming out of the flower- it’s just not my thing. But that’s the point of this scarf and so it may be a pass. I could eat my words after I try them on in the store.
Thank you for sharing your personal version of this dilemma!!
For me, it is the Appaloosa scarf. I can't stand the horses hoof, haha. But I adore the horse itself, and I still love that scarf. I am also not a big fan of the tassels on the Samourai scarf, but the design is fantastic. So these things don't bother me too much. There have been scarves I couldn't buy because of elements I didn't like, it depends on the design.
I think you are right- it’s hard to have an absolute rule and with H there are always exceptions. I am going to still try and hold firm to not settle, though!
So exciting to see a preview of some of the new designs! I am having a problem with the Boabcat scarf. I don’t like the graphic of the cat emerging from the flower so I intitally wrote if off completely, but now that I see it modeled, I think I’m going to love it for it ties beautifully! And the CWs are spectacular! It brings to mind my resistance to Appaloosa des Steppes. I hated that big horse with the staring eye and refused to consider it for the longest time.... until I tried it on and I immediately changed my mind... from hating the concept to absolutely loving it tied! I had a similar experience with Etude pour une Parure de Gala. I wasn’t excited at all by the graphic display of jewelry items in a boring composition IMO. Then, I tried it on and totally changed my mind, largely because of the exquisite CWs, particularly the ballerina pink that I finally purchased. Another is Tous les Bateaux du Monde. I wasn’t excited by the central boats en parade at all and totally dismissed it. Then I saw it tied and focused on the magnificent monochromatic borders and fell in love. It always happens to me that I focus on the central element of the design and if I hate it, I dismiss it. But, either a spectacular CW, or borders or corners win me over at the end. What scarves are you hating, loving and considering this season?
I find your response so interesting and very similar to many of my thoughts. I just remembered that another scarf that I liked very much, except for the central theme, was Bateaux Fleuri. When tied, it looked very Japanese in nature- like washi paper. However, the scarf itself was not appealing to me. I passed on that.
I love so many of the scarves that you wear and the way that you wear them!
I mentioned above what my thoughts are on the Baobab Cat scarf. I am quite intrigued by the game board scarves- both the Jeu de Soie and the other. I’m not blown away but they could be interesting.
I was mostly anticipating the Sieste Au Paradis 140 giant silk but I will just have to be patient until hopefully next season.
Verdict- I’ll stay strong and not settle, however, I’ll still try and see what I think. [emoji5]
