I had sent two scarves to a friend in NYC to dye for me and they just came back [emoji16]

I really loved this one but the colors just felt dated to me and I hardly wore it

Before-

I chose a purple wash and you can't even tell in photos how much darker it is but its truly lovely
After-

Next was a pocket square originally light pink which just never worked for me [emoji17]

I chose pink to make it a bit darker and it looks fabulous!

Voilà - three "mistakes" from my early days of collecting become beautiful, wearable pieces. The white Springs was the most predictable change; the maroon Vinci got subtlety bumped up to burgundy with a pink wash. The most WOW was the Brazil, transformed into a lush rain forest with a blue wash.View attachment 3739681View attachment 3739682View attachment 3739683View attachment 3739684View attachment 3739685View attachment 3739686

Well done!
 
I am relieved to see that these transformed scarves are trickling in because I'm still waiting for mine! Here's hoping they're as successful as all these posted . Thanks for the previews!

Still waiting for mine too. Was told they shipped them out Monday Fedex two day delivery. But as of today still no scarves.

For those who, like me, purchased a "display" scarf that had to be shipped after the pop-up closed. . . Have you received your purchase yet? I was told it would ship, but was this incorrect: do I have to pick it up at Madison? I have left a voice mail at Madison which, of course, has not generated a response in the last 24 hours. :shrugs:

I called today and they are shipping it. It might be worth calling again.

73A5E385-A9AC-4BF6-92D8-C2A22A6D3F7B.jpg Thank you guys sooo much for all your help and for encouraging me to go! So here is what I did. The original is the bottom and this is the transformation. The colorist suggested pink but I went with blue. I think pink would have been great but I LOVE the more casual denim blue. I wish I had gone back to do the others but the SA at Hermes Madison (who still remembered me even though I haven't been in in over two years! These ladies are amazing).

Edit my hand is there to try to get the cell phone to show the collect color!
