90 silk dear. The 140 cashmere/silk shawl is only coming next season i.e. A/W.
This is simply amazing!! Thank you for sharing!! The details are breathtaking.
Once again, this confirms my "need" for colorway 05! Cygne18, this is GORGEOUS! Thanks for sharing!
What a fantastic knot! I need to copy this! BJ, you look AMAZING! I love how there are so many ways to wear this design!
This look so pretty with your dress! When I bought 07, I also tried on cw12 but in the end, I thought 07 was the best choice for my coloring. I love how Hermes makes something for everybody! This is what makes shopping so much fun.
Hello Twin!
You look fabulous in this colorway. Thanks for posting your collage!
Ladybaga you positively glow in colours, so envious! My dear SA is so looking forward to seeing your 07 for herself!
Wearing 07 today with cranberry and winter white (as long as it feels like winter!)
So beautifully tied and lovely with your crisp cranberry and white!
That is incredible! Lucky you being able to see it in real life. I wonder if the museum has worked out why flocks of people in scarves are congregating by the dozen at that exhibition?? [emoji16]
I can finally join this club! My store finally stocked it but they only had it in CW 11 and 12, was debating really hard and I decided to go with CW 11, I hope I don't regret lol. Still waiting for CW8 to turn up, that's my fav out of all!
Hello again, folks!
As I had mentioned earlier, I was so happy to find out that the Samurai Collection, the inspiration for Honore's knockout design, was based in Dallas. I had a business trip scheduled there and carved out some time to visit.
The museum is housed on the second floor of the St. Ann School building. It's a little odd because the entrance of the museum is accessible only through the ground floor restaurant. Here's the gentleman who greets you at the entrance to the exhibit:
"Oop, gotta get mah scarf out and take a quick scarf-on-site photo!" I tell my friend. She waits patiently while I take a selfie:
We walk inside and are greeted by this merry trio:
"Ooh, this'll make a good scarf-on-site photo!" I tell my friend. She waits patiently while I take a selfie but now adds a little foot tapping.
Dang it, why does my face look so broad in these photos?? I take more shots but but stop when I realize that I may need to accept that my face is just that broad. [emoji31]Plus the foot tapping has gotten a little louder, like when the orchestra starts playing in the middle of an Oscar-winners acceptance speech. I move on.
There's a wonderful woman at the desk and I loudly tell her I've come to see the exhibit not because I have an inherent interest in Samurai artifacts but because ... scarf! I take it off to show her, and her eyes light up.
"Ohhh, I had heard about this but I hadn't seen it yet!" she exclaims. She thinks it's beautiful, and ooh and ahhs. I like her already.
I show her this thread with BBC's photo showing all 12 cws. She loves them all and says, "How can you choose one when all the colors are so nice?" I like her even more. She gets us. She'd make a good scarfie. I start telling her, with the zeal of a missionary, why scarves are so wonderful, especially H scarves. I see her eyes start glazing over and realize I've laid it on too thick, now she only sees me as a crazy scarf lady! I need to gently lure her to the H side, so I refocus my questions: Where is the suit of armor pictured in the middle of this scarf?
"Oh, I know exactly which one it is but it's actually part of our traveling exhibit. It's in Phoenix right now." I curse my business trip for not being in Phoenix. But she finds the suit in their large coffee table art book featuring the collection. Wow, it's amazing to compare the scarf to the real thing.
I ask her about the corners of the scarf - what is this?
She looks at it and instantly recognizes it, "Oh, that's the view of the top of a helmet!"
Ohhhhhh! How clever! Here are a few shots of various helmets and their tops:

Oh, darn, I'm sorry folks but I can't write part two right now. Kiddo is sick so I gotta put my mommy hat on now. Be back later tonight...
Thank you for posting, @Joannadyne! Wonderful photo. Woowza...I'm so happy that this scarf design came out and that everyone appreciates it. It is really too stunning.
