30 Dec 2018 SCARVES OF THE YEAR: your favorite purchase(s) this year (new or new-to-you)
On the final week of the year I’m back after a brief hiatus due to a few RL issues. I am so glad to be here to share and to learn and to marvel at all of the silky wonders. I will be covering this week for dear @ABQ2ATL who is taking a break to take care of some issues at home.
Thank you, for the intro, dear @xincinsin . I am so humbled and excited to contribute to this forum as member of Team Scarf Mistress next Year!
This week’s theme is so much fun as we share our favorite and most special purchases of the year, as well as those that are from new designers or “new” to us in any way (a designer that we’ve just discovered, or a new format that we’ve experimented with, or a new discovery that we’ve made, etc.). So many possibilities!
One of my favorite scarves this year was Edgard Baribeaud’s Acte III, Scene 1, La Clairiere. Baribeaud is a new designer for Hermès and I was so happy to discover this design and add it to my collection. It was my first purchase of the Fall/Winter 2018 season. View attachment 4291881
Another new designer for Hermès is Jan Bajtlik who created the delightful and popular Animapolis for the Spring/Summer 2019 collection. This scarf is also my first purchase of the coming season. I immediately fell in love with it and it has already become a favorite.View attachment 4291875
And, now on to a couple of new and innovative concepts at Hermès: the interactive scarf and carré wash...
La Tour de Monde en 63 Cases is Hermès’ first interactive scarf and this idea was so innovative and fun that I couldn’t resist getting two CWs.
Also, this year Hermès introduced the carre wash or washable silk concept and I fell in love with the special vintage feel of these carrés and made the delightful Coupé de Gala my own.

And as far as favorites go, I must mention my lucky find in February of the yellow/grey CW of Parures de Samouraïs. Many here knew about my angst at having passed on that CW and a very kind SA tracked it down for me when all hope was lost. I’ve been over the moon with it since.View attachment 4291879
Another very lucky find of an amazing scarf was Flamingo Party, the special Miami boutique edition, which my SA casually and quite magically offered me in August. I was floored that they still had one of this rare edition floating around at the store. This is my very first scarf of an edition created for a specific city/store.View attachment 4291872
This was also the year that some very special vintage Grails came my way from designers new to me:
Fleurs d’Ecosse by Sylvia Kerr;
Chaque Rencontre est Unique by Hajine Katagiri; and Zabavushka by Evgenia Miroshnichenko.

Finally, there is my last scarf of 2018: Grand Manège Detail which has quickly become a favorite in my wardrobe. Can’t wait to see all of the beauties you will all share and how you will expand on this fun topic!

Thank you, dear bunny!Perfect on you! Hi 5 twin!
Ok- wow- I'm really gonna have to find a green/white scarf combo at some point! That Belle Epoque is awesome!
Beautiful end to 208 dear Croisette!
You are so welcome Croisette! It's been fun!
Perfect intro fifi!It's a good thing we don't have to narrow it down to one this week...because I wouldn't be able to do it. You have some stunning picks, and I love the new Animopolis on you!

My pleasure, sweet xincinsin ... thank you!It was a honour and a joy to be a scarf mistress here. Hugs to bunnycat who is a wonderful sister in silkand much love to @ABQ2ATL who showed us the way forward.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful H and non-H collex so generously, Croisette. Keep those amazing holiday snaps coming!
Thank you so very much!Impressive! They are more gorgeous one another!
I confirm that every single pattern/colour suits you effortlessly. Amazing.
Yes! We must post multiples, of course! Both new and vintage... I had kissed away the Flamingo Party Miami forever and suddenly here it was! I was stunned! One of my fav finds of the year! Can’t wait to see your picks!Welcome! I was thinking you might be the new new team scarf mistress.
Lots of beauties here, but that Miami edition of flamingo party would be so pe4fect for me! Jealous of that one!
Glad that we can feature multiple favorites, because it would be hard to pick just one or 2.
Thank you so much, dear!All fabulous, dear fifi!
Your Belle Époque is fabulous!!My last offerings for this week. But before I show the silk, a quick teaser for tomorrow.
We are welcoming more scarfies to Team Scarf Mistress and one of them is going to introduce the last theme for 2018. You are going to love her (correction - we already adore her!). So get ready your Scarves of the Year and let us cross over to 2019 in style!
Now for my last few feathers and ribbons:
Cent Plis de Miao: these pleated skirts are fastened round the waist with a long handwoven ribbon, and the border is embroidered and appliqued with ribbon.
View attachment 4291760
And this is a 2-for-the-price-of-1 deal! (For our green-eyed scarfies), Belle Epoque features a feathered fan in the centre and ribbons curling round the border. So with a bit of adjustment, I could have feathers+ribbon round my neck

So happy to celebrate my favorite new-to-me scarf of the year, the beautiful Tohu Bohu!
I saw this scarf on Jan's website and mentioned it to my husband as something I was casually interested in. Was upset when I checked a few days later and it was sold.Christmas morning was a very wonderful surprise!
