Scarves MYH's Scarf Showcase - and philosophical ramblings about how I built my collection

[tabbi001]

Hello everyone! I'm back today with another scarf installment. I was going to keep going through my CSGMs but am going to get sidetracked because I'm so in love with a 90cm I picked up at the BH sale.

I can't believe this scarf wasn't even on my radar until PbP sent me a photo. How did I let this beauty slip by me when it was in the boutiques? I think I might have been on my 90cm scarf ban at the time and perhaps never looked in the scarf case when it was in stores. But I am so glad she told me to look for it at the sale and I found it! I was quickly and carefully scanning the scarf section with my eyes (felt like I was on some shopping game show) and when I locked eyes on my target I felt like I had won a contest. Keep in mind, everyone else is doing the same at the same time and there is a lot of pressure to find the "gems" first LOL!

As I've said before, I'm not typically a horse scarf person. But if the design is done in a modern/abstract way, then I'm all in. And this one fits the bill perfectly.

If you're a tan and blue lover, this cw has every single beautiful shade in those color families. And even though the design looks symmetrical, every corner has slightly different colors in it. So there are four different cowboy knots that let you highlight various colors in the scarf. If anyone is really desiring this design, there are some pochettes currently on the US H.com site.

This is my first sale scarf and the stamp they put on it this year isn't bad at all. I have seen large black S stamps directly on the back of the scarf on various eBay listings. Sometimes that black stamp even bleeds into the front of the scarf/shawl making that corner practically useless. This year, the S stamp is a light yellowish looking S and they were careful to place it right on the care tag. So if you take the care tag off, you wouldn't even know it's a sale scarf. Thanks Hermes! That's really considerate of you.

So I took some photos of it with some accessories and my gold kelly and legende sandals. Momasaurus - this photo is for you! I guess you didn't know I have a gold kelly because I've been neglecting her recently. Miss goldie is the first K I ever bought. She kind of took a back seat ever since Miss Gris T showed up but I am going to try to use her more. I promise!
I also found that beautiful blue indien clic H at the sale that is pictured next to my colvert illusion bracelet. It's my first narrow clic clac ever! Up until now, I've only bought the extra wide or medium width ones. I am looking forward to wearing it a lot this summer. And thank you to my H friend that swooped it up but then let me buy it when we got to the cash register. I owe you a drink for that honey!

Hope you guys love this scarf as much as I do. Have a great week everyone.

Wow that is a beautiful scarf tied! I think I saw that (but different CW) in the store a while ago but I didnt really pay attention to that. You look good in it 😊

 

[Mininana]

That's a beautiful scarf!!! One of my favorites too. I'm still H scarf illiterate so I just go for whatever looks best on my skin/hair tone but it's interesting to learn about the history of each piece of art!!

Thank you MyH for getting me a backup of this scarf. This was my first 90 silk and my second scarf. Back then my selection process was very organic. I didn't know there were seasons or what was popular. I hadn't found tpf. My SA helped me to pick it out to match my hair and eyes and I loved it so much that I wore it a lot. It gained even more sentimental value when I was lucky enough to visit the H museum in Paris. The other couple on the tour was late so I had almost two hours one on one with the curator and we really bonded. I'm a history geek and I was quickly becoming a scarf geek. Those who have been there know that you can't possibly see everything and there is no set tour. The curator will simply show you what they think you will find interesting. One of the very last things that she showed us was a book from the 17th century about tying knots. As she flipped it open I saw the Della cavalleria drawing. She couldn't tell because I was wearing my scarf very tight at my neck like a turtleneck but I took it off and opened it up and it was the della cavalleria of course. She and I both teared up with joy. She allowed an exception for me to take photos of the book but I'm not allowed to share them or post them publicly. Needless to say this will always be my sentimental favorite. Lately I find myself wearing it less because I don't want anything to happen to it. So now thanks to MyH I have a backup that's fresh and crisp. I put it in a box and tucked it away in a safe place in case of scarf emergency. Oh and stupid me, I don't know what happened to my colorway tag from the first scarf. So now I have one. Thank you MyH!!!!

What a lovely story and also a lovely friendship!

 

[MYH]

It is all so beautiful! And love your VCA pendant too!
To me, this is a design that looks way better when worn than when seen flat. I admit I just passed it by as well!

Scarf1 - thank you for the lovely compliment. I've been wearing my VCA pendant necklace so much. I'm a blue gal for sure!

You always coordinate so well dear MyH!!
This is one of the patterns that I feel "meh" about when flat but looks very nice when tied. It always amazes me how H can make even the most "take it or leave it" designs truly elevate an outfit. I especially love your last tie with the snake showing!!

On a side note, I am jealous of those of you who got to attend the sale in BH last week. Luckily I have a VERY sweet friend who attended and picked up a little something for me [no hints on what it is until I actually receive it! haha].

Many, many years ago H would hold sales in all the boutiques and even though they were limited to what that particular store had in stock, it really allowed more people access to the deals. I do hope they go back to that model, much like Bottega and Gucci do. However, I do plan to take a day off and go to the NY sale in the fall of this year but I hear that is truly a madhouse compared to the one in BH.

Hi BJS- can't wait to see what you got as well from the BH sale! I bow down to your Hermes sale knowledge. I never knew each store location used to have sales? That must have been so fun. But yes, I agree, the sales are inaccessible to so many people. When I lived in PA for many years, I could never get my trips to NY line up with the sale dates and the reports of waiting and not getting in really frightened me! I am so grateful I now can go to the BH sale.

And funny enough - I didn't try to tie with the snake showing. That guy just popped up. It's really a neat scarf. I'm so happy to add it to my collex

I'm so glad you picked this one up. It looks so stunning on you and even more so with the way that you accessorize and tie your scarves. Major congrats!!! These are such good colors on you!

And you are welcome- you don't owe me anything- I just appreciate all of your scarf coaching and camaraderie lovely! [emoji8]

I think I owe YOU for helping me to edit so well!!!!

You are a sweetheart. I was so happy to see you again at the sale.

I love Della Cavalleria and tried many times to buy the red/blue 90. Every SA and every friend I went with sniffed and said no. I love the design, particularly in that CW, but apparently it doesn't love me! I believed everyone. Maybe when I am very very very old I will buy it and wear it around the nursing home.

Yours is gorgeous and thanks for the gold kelly show. May I say that you neglect her just a little??? At least around here.

Honey - if you want the red/blue 90, forget what everyone else says! Start hunting. I think I know which one you are referring to and I agree with you, it is stunning. Love the visual of you running around the nursing home with gorgeous scarves tied around your neck.

You're so welcome my dear. I'm just glad I found two in the same cw. I honestly think there were only two in the whole pile and I found both of them. I was freaking out when I only found one at first because I knew I needed two! Whew! And thanks for sharing your touching H story. H is such a special brand full of coincidences and "gods" and fate. The museum sounds so cool. How special that you got a private tour. I can't believe someone could be late for an appt at the museum! But their loss was your gain!

Wow that is a beautiful scarf tied! I think I saw that (but different CW) in the store a while ago but I didnt really pay attention to that. You look good in it 😊

Thank you tabb001. So nice of you to say.

Hi mininana! Nice to see you here. Thanks for the sweet compliment about my scarf. Stick around tpf for awhile on SOTD and various threads and you will be scarf literate in no time!

What a lovely story and also a lovely friendship!

Thanks Kate! Yes, I'm so grateful to tpf for the friendships I have made.

Oh goodness! It's a whole new world here now. We lost all our cool old emojis. I'm so sad about that. Now there are only 12. And I haven't figured out how to search a thread yet either because was I going to feature another CSGM but can't remember if I've covered it already or not.

Hope I can figure out this new site to add a post later today. I feel like a new technology user right now...

Totally agree dear. I also wish font was easier to read. The emoticons were the best, I hope they bring them back cuz these are too limiting! I was in the throes of withdrawal and needed to search for leather style for a new to me Kelly bag. Had to rely on other sites. Would love to see your shawl regardless!

 

[klynneann]

Ugh, and why don't the photos show up? I hate technology fixes and upgrades. There's always an adjustment period.

Yay - at least it only took me one erroneous post to figure out how to quote again lol. And now I can even multi quote on my phone! At least there's good with the bad during these things lol.

I wonder if the ones on our regular keyboard work....let me see. ✨

Nope. Only the star worked. I tried to insert a mood emoji, a handbag, and a monster too. Ugh.

And klynneann - I heard the new photos will just show up. The old ones pre-migration need to be opened up individually. I hope they can eventually fix that though. It is a PITA!

I was like you! I tried to find a photo of the Gris Mouette leather swatch for a friend and felt powerless! Now fess up about your new Kelly bag! We need the deets!

I'm still depressed about the 12 emojis available now.

Coming soon I promise as soon as I figure out the photo posting process!
