[ouija board]

Ok- I am back with my DD pick ups and more....

I remembered to take pictures this time!

Here's the before and after of my two scarves. They came out GREAT and everyone was super nice! I'll surely be going down to Houston town at some point to visit with the lovely SA who was up for the event from the Houston store. She is super sweet.

Wow!!! Msr et Mmme went from blah- totally not my colors to WOW! I love this now!

And a few images from the cases and walls. If you are anywhere near the area, I really suugest making the trip. Come in from the south (Ben White/71) if you come from out of town, and park a couple of block south of it and walk in to avoid SxSW.

These were all for sale:

Vintage 90 Champignons DD'd a beautiful pink with deep plummy brown mushrooms.

Your scarves turned out beautifully!! I love how the ribbons pop on the Monsieur et Madame. I agree, it was so worth the long drive to come to this event. I managed to not hit any traffic coming north into Austin around 9:30am, and I lucked out with parking directly outside the shop! Unfortunately, I had a grumpy DD in tow, and I unwittingly parked her and her toys all over the chairs in the photo booth. Fortunately, we were the only ones there at the time, and the staff was gracious enough to not say anything about it!

The pink Champignons is gorgeous, and I seriously considered the red Jonques et Sampans. They had some lovely vintage designs available.

These are wonderful ouija board, I don't think I could have resisted them either!!! I'd love to see more of the pre-dyed scarves available somewhere, perhaps on the website; I would imagine that would be easy enough to do....

Thanks! It would be wonderful to see these dip dyes available online. There were so many more scarves available in the drawers that I didn’t have time to look through.

Thank you ouija board! Glad you got to make it up to the event! And glad you got to take over the store for a bit!

The bright ribbons were part of my initial attraction for this CW. But they look SOOOO much better now!

Beautiful transformation!



those are stunners ouija board! Congrats! They both have that incredible DD glow!

Thanks!! I’m not used to dip dyes being so vibrant or having this glow to them!

 

[scarf1]

@bunnycat - congrats on your dipdyes. I think they both turned out better than before,, and even more important, they totally suit you and your style, now!

 

[ouija board]

The Lalbhai is stunning!

Thanks! I’ve never loved this design because I don’t like scarves with people on them, but the color is so vibrant that I can wear this scarf even with the little guys and gals circling the design.

Bravo! I much prefer the 'new' M&M and though I liked the colours of the twilly before, it's really pretty now, and how cool to have a DD twilly

Thank you pt! yes- I think one of the few DD twilly I can recall was Pavois that was sold as a DD. ??? It really makes this one a lot more fun now.

Thank you MissIn! It's my pleasure and if anyone gets a chance to go to a Hermesmatic DD event in their area- I highly recommend it!

I totally understand you. I loved the blue version of this design but the humans were too big for me.

I finally made it to Austin yesterday and dropped off four scarves. Bunnycat is right, the color specialist with the pink hair is amazing. All of the staff were knowledgeable, but she looked over my choices after I filled out the forms and suggested a different color for one of my scarves to get the effect that I wanted. I can’t wait to see how my scarves turn out!

I did succumb to the scarves on sale, negating the whole concept of a free Hermes event. But who could say no to these gems? View attachment 4000944
Lalbhai 140cm silk in blue and Chantilly 90cm in fuschia. I was shocked to see the Chantilly since I believe it’s a fairly old design. They had several Lalbhai for sale (fuschia and I think a dark purple). Lots of 140cm Ex Libris Pour Suite (name? The one with stripes and circles all over). I wish I could remember more of the 90cm designs, but the choices were overwhelming. I do recall a green Equator, a lovely pale pink Champignons, and a teal blue Faubourg 24. There was also a stunning yellow Tigre Royal 140cm on display. I wish I could go back with more scarves to dip dye, but I fear that I’d come home with more scarves than I dropped off.

Oh my, you found chantilly!!! I always want that design. Maybe I should go back?!

I love the after effects! They dip dye added some mysterious taste in it. Love it!

I missed the one in LA... I feel like the dipdyes are best for older scarves that need a bit more life and color? I can't bring myself to take in a new scarf to the laundromat!
