Thanks to the keen eye of @Julide I was able to snag another of my grails - and not just any grail, but the limited transfer of Hong Kong edition. The color and details on this are *AMAZING*! Quite honestly, this might now be my favorite scarf of my entire collection.
Congrats!!
It is so stunning in the photos you posted!! I am so happy for you! Wear in the best of health!!...just for historical accuracy (and not to offend anyone), just realized this was a 50th anniversary of Mainland China and not the transfer of Hong Kong - I was two years off.
I hate that you can’t edit your own posts on this forum
I’m sorry, I don’t think I responded timely. Apologies!I see! Behind the cylinders! Jbizzy your collection has certainly changed. I’m now interested to see what next years photo will be like!
Adding: have you found particular designers you like now? Or has it stayed the same?
Next year’s photo: may reflect fewer cashmere mixes as we anticipate moving to an even warmer climate; however, it’s known for bone-chilling winter gales so we will see.
Designers: more open now, focusing on design and color rather than designer. For example, I’d like to have a nice Faivre for the monkeys but not because a Faivre. Early on, I wanted to see all the classics: Grygkar, Peron, LeDoux, etc. Later, Nomura’s early “curvy” designs all represented, but the two new ones not a priority though I could be swayed into Space Odyssey gav were it not sold out.
Whims: of course, basic philosophy could be upended at any time on a whim, such as the drool-worthy new Plumes exceptional!
I think my love of Hermes scarves has changed with my jobs- what looked good with suits and more formal dresses.
Now that I am retired- I have a different view of my Hermes scarves- more 140cms, colors that work with more casual clothes like jeans and wearing patterns and colors that I love!
No concerns of how it would look to others in a professional setting...

Interesting view, I'm not yet retired so haven’t encountered that issue yet
What have you done with the scarves that looked good with your formal clothes? Re-homed or are they sleeping beauties for the moment? Could be a theme for Scarf Of The Day - same scarf, two ways, one formal one casual?
That would be a great theme!Interesting view, I'm not yet retired so haven’t encountered that issue yet

Hi Paula24Jen! The formal scarves are “Sleeping Beauties” as I am “working” in retirement to cull my entire wardrobe but finding hard to let go my H scarves! The memories of wearing the formal scarves makes it hard to let go...
What scarves are currently resting? It might be that you consider them formal because that’s the context you wore them in, others here might be able to help you reframe how you view them? It would be a shame to not wear or rehome them when you feel that emotional connection...
@froufrou I'm just bopping in here and didn't you have a vivid yellow Modernisme Tropical? The Queen mother was floral and lace, extremely feminine but there's no way she would have worn this scarf. This is a wonderful scarf, I hope you own it. It's so modern and refreshing.That's point,I def don't want to be seen as Queen Mother ! But I see myself and once seen can't unsee .
Now I'm in that Dali sequence in Hitchcock film Spellbound , with all the Eyes
I appreciate your sane approach to your scarves, you are more constant in your humours!

Earth colors in my mind are olive, brown, gray, and maybe purple. Just pointing that distinction out. I like these colors, too, and there isn't enough of them out there.
