Hermes Shawls?
- Thread starter orchids
- Start date
I'm eyeing one on eBay at the moment but am wondering if it'll have longevity in my closet and how to use it aside from draping it over my shoulders. Any thoughts would be great...
I have one, and I love it!
I never thought I could wear one; I am 5'1" and small-boned, so I assumed a shawl would swamp me, and I think in several of the designs, they do. However, in the right color and pattern, I found one that I adore. I find I reach for it often, and it can substitute for a coat or sweater. Besides a shawl or poncho, you can fold it on the bias and use it as a muffler.
There is a thread with gorgeous pictures here: http://forum.purseblog.com/hermes/my-hermes-cashmere-and-silk-shawl-37257.html?highlight=ombres

You guys rock...great input; tangle, thanks for that great thread link...I must have missed that one, and Gina, you look amazing with that shawl. GF great to know that it can be folded up and worn pashmina style...I thought it would be too large to do so. Okay, am convinced...going to get the trigger finger ready to bid.
I'm not a traditional shawl wearer myself, but I broke down and bought two H ones that I absolutely love and wear often, folded diagonally, typically as a scarf/pashmina substitute. You can just see one of them here (Jungle Love in beige) in this pic:
gina, I love that entire outfit!!! You look HOT girl
