I am soooo enjoying this thread. Not enough threads are devoted to non-bag things and this is the best scarf one so far for me because you give insight into your MO which I find very interesting :yahoo:

Interesting to see how many scarves we have in common (bolded, twins on the DD Mawari) :ghi5: and how are collections differ. You also have about 10 scarves that could have bought if I hadn't of already purchased so many in the season - I still think about photo finish and in the cw.

I shall be back to read more

Thank you so much for the idea of using acid free paper. I couldn't find it in the Container Store, but did find it on Amazon. LINECO - Unbuffered Acid-Free Tissue Paper, 30x40", Pack of 12.

After some Googling, it was recommended to use Unbuffered for silks and cashmeres. Hope this helps other TPFers who are looking to line their drawers.

Thanks for sharing Werner. I'm learning so much here.

Ok, I'll start with my favorite. It was so hard to decide. I would say I have a top 5 that I cannot part with and I had to look at each one carefully just now. Funny enough, I did not have a "favorite" in my head until Mimi and Pocketbook Pup just asked me. So, here it is.

De La Mer Au Ciel

I just love the colors in this scarf. It has a lot of what I call Hermes "gold" in it, a caramel color that just makes me :love: Also, I really love navy and coral together and this scarf has both. I have taken a pic of it with my gold legende sandals and my gold kelly 32. I also piled on a bunch of bracelets I also wear with this scarf (not all together) that also coordinate with this scarf.

And this scarf has a feature I absolutely adore in scarves. An asymmetrical design. That means, you can tie a cowboy knot with the four corners and have a different looking scarf each time. That makes this scarf all the more versatile and valuable. In fact, my little sis loved this scarf so much, she bought one for herself too.

Here's a pic with my shoes, bag, and accessories. And another I took from the US H.com website because there's no way I can take a picture of the whole scarf any better than Hermes does.

This is gorgeous ! I especially love the last tie, where u match with the farandol necklace ! I've been showing DH and our 3 DDs how gorgeous your fave scarf is!

I can't remember names and color ways so I'm not sure if any of my small collection is amongst your amazing collection. Can't wait to find out.

Thanks for your generous sharing MYH [emoji106]

PbP - I have made several mistakes. At some point, I will discuss the grail I hunted down like a crazy woman, only to discover, it looked ick on me. The most disappointing moment of my H scarf life. That one had to be re-homed too. With scarves, I let myself make mistakes because really, the monetary loss is minimal. But with bags, yikes! I think long and hard about them before I pull out my wallet. The loss on those (due to fees when reselling) makes my heart ache.

Can't wait to hear about this one. There'll be a good lesson here.

Thanks for sharing your collection, MYH! You are a wonderful, thoughtful writer, and you tell stories beautifully. I always enjoy your posts and pictures.

A while ago, I stumbled upon TangoTosca's Scarf Circus thread while researching a design, and it seems her kind of sharing has mostly fallen by the wayside. It looks like you (and possibly Pocketbook Pup, Pirula, klynneann, and rainneday - I was lurking on rainneday's other thread) may be taking the reigns again. Thank you very much - it's very generous of you to do so!

Some thoughts on the de la mer since I have it in a different colorway. It's a great scarf. One I constantly wear in the summer.

If I am going to bias fold it I generally do it in just the direction you show. Doing it the opposite way doesn't work as well because there is too much contrast on the two sides (less with mine than yours). If you triangle fold it you can definitely use three of the four corners. I find the fourth a bit challenging because depending on how you wear it you see upside down birds. In yours it is the coral corner. I would love to be able to use more of that coral. Have you been able to find a way to wear it to play up the coral?

Here is my blue vert mauve. Just for comparison. It is a more seasonal summer scarf than your colorway and I think reads more casual, whereas your colorway can go casual or dressy and seems more year round.

If you want us to hold off on comparisons until you finish let us know. I just thought the comparison would be interesting. But I don't want to interrupt your show.
