I just got my mojave scarf. I paid 38.00 + ship for it. I won't be returning it. I think I'll get enough wear out of mine. I think that with a couple of washes & wears it'll be fine. It's got a rough texture yes like it's been overly scotch guarded or starched. I am bummed about it only being printed on one side. it does make it hard to wear even when folded in half. I find the length to be great. I've got many scarves that are the same length and width. It's one of the easiest lengths to play around with. You can do so many knots.

If I paid full retail I would be miffed (I'm keeping mine) & deeply discounted at 22.00 I'd keep it.

Mod shots: For reference 5-8" Size US 14

Close up pictures of the scarf.

Wow, that looks great on you, Lu!

However, the close ups of the scarf alone make me sad to see how its stark white looking on one side. Sitting by itself, I would guess it to be table linens. boo!

 

[paelaf]

Great pics, lu. I think it looks really good on you. I'm curious what you'll think after a few washes!

 

[Miss Curly]

The scarf looks great on! Good pictures Lu! I guess I didn't realize the other side was such a stark white. That's too bad that both sides weren't printed, but you wear it well Lulu!

AS for remaking it, I'd make it a crossbody messenger by folding the ends up, leaving fringe as flap like @ or an un. Sew the sides up, add nylon zipper on top of pouch maybe. Do this on both ends, saddle bag fashion, and add velcro strips to hold both pouch backs together. Viola ! A Hottie bandolier !

If you still have too much length, take a tuck center front, sew up sides and velcro shut for cell phone or ipod.

Stormy - I wish I was as handy at crafts as you seem to be!

It doesn't look too bad fabric-wise, but that white sure is stark. Maybe after washing the blue will show through a little. I'm kind of excited to experiment with it.

Wow, lu, you are definitely a master scarf wearer to make me want to buy that scarf. If I wasn't ware of all the issues with this, I'd cave.

 

[saccharine]

yeah, you're definitely the scarf guru, lulu! looks awesome with your outfit!

ITA! You wear this so well! This one (below) is my favorite look...gosh I NEED to learn how to tie scarves more than 1 way! I downloaded that Hermes scarf PDF a while back, I need to go find it!

 

[joy_de]

Lu, you make that scarf look amazingggg! absolutely love the ways you tie it!! very polished

You look beautiful in the scarf Lu...you have 6" on me and I think that helps. Simply draped around my neck, the scarf hangs down way below my knees.

I have two scarves, so I decided to start washing one. Some shrinkage, lots of color fading. The scarf is much softer now, but it still somewhat coarse. I'll try to post some pictures later.
