I love dip dye. I wish I had been able to get to the one in NYC -- I would have bought a pre-dyed one, as some of those they had hanging (in the photos) looked intriguing. Do try to go GK.

@xiangxiang0731 and @lulilu I will certainly do my best to get there. I think I could be more tempted by the process once I see the finished products, I think I will go through my scarves anyway and if there is something that is a possibility I will take it along. There is one coral pink one that I have that is a vintage pattern and rarely seen and it might take a purple dye quite well.
I definitely agree that you shouldn't dye a loved scarf just for the sake of doing it. (The ones I chose to dye were "mistakes" I'd made--colorways that didn't thrill me or suit me but that I'd not returned at the time for whatever dumb reason. The re-dyed scarves have colors that are more interesting to me as well as the lovely soft fluffiness of the dip dye, which for me were improvements.)
So, your DH has a valid point. But the pre-dyed options for sale are intriguing, and the whole set-up is just fun, so if you can entice DH with a side trip to entertain him, do try to go!

Honestly, I was concentrating more on the Haley Atwell interview about the new version of Howard's End.
Looks fascinating! I love looking at window displays. I wish I had the chance to see the Dior exhibit. My sister sent me photos and some have posted them on IG. Just amazing.
Please do GK! It went to Manchester in the UK but I couldn't go. It would be so interesting to see it!

Absolutely fascinating exhibition! I wish I had the time to go to Paris! But I have too much on my plate right now.
Mindi, hope someone does this! Read about the Exhibit in the NYT yesterday and was wishing I had a Paris trip in my future, but I don’t.
THANK YOU!!! I will be able to go. I might have missed this and I so adore H window displays - so again THANKS! It's free too!
That's great! POST PIX if you can! We will all enjoy this vicariously!
Made a trip to the Hermesmatic. Interesting to see it but nothing jumped out at me to purchase. Most of the for sale pieces were older designs and too dark. It was a great way for them to unload older inventory at current prices. No bueno and unfair IMO. There was only one scarf hanging that looks good and it belonged to a customer who had brought it in for a dip
So sorry you had a disappointing experience gracekelly. May I ask if the pop-up you went to was in Los Angeles? Because that one has newer inventory and brighter colors.
Oh sorry to hear that. So they were selling old designs of the DD? Or just old designs and dipdyed?
Yes it was LA and bright and new was not my take on it at all. Perhaps the better things were already gone by the time I visited?
