Dooneybaby, I love that concept of tying two scarves. For me, two 90s would overwhelm me; on you, they look great. I have seen two 70s combined with wonderful style.
Going out strong, cuz!
I am so glad I got Flamboyant Web through a wonderful reseller before FW2019 took all my money.
The Game is definitely on my future money-tree list.
I loved Spirograph too! (And love the center on Vertige! I wish it didn't have an empty border!)
Gorgeous Holsby! The color is perfect on you!

I feel your pain....Love these together dooney!
I had a really hard time deciding which cw of Flamboyant Web to get. I liked several. And no shopping for it IRL because my home H didn't have it. I remember angsting over it for ages, and finally ordering it off the US site on 1st Jan 2018 (Christmas bonus makes one reckless...Going out strong, cuz!

Hi, all!
I just realized that I should have posted last night my time (back in California), since it's already late in some parts of the world! With apologies, here we go:
17 Nov 2019 -SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW- Your changing (or non-changing) tastes in colour, design or format. Show us a scarf you bought early on in your H journey, and a recent acquisition.
I have been a collector of Hermes scarves since college and remember spending some campus job money on them! (I can speak several languages, and tutoring them paid at 'regular' high-end tutoring rates, so I could actually afford quite a few scarves!). Over the years, scarf colors in my collection got brighter and more red, but most remained in the 90cm format. I chose some examples:
The 'old':
A green Aux Portes du Palais Spring 2011 -- actually, I still wear this one! I was quite fond of wearing scarves around my waist. Would repurchase again for sure, although I don't have many colors in my wardrobe with which to wear this.
A pointu Caleche Elastique Spring 2013 -- I wear this one sometimes, very rarely. I don't mind the format, but I would not buy again, just because the colors are too dark.
Realistically speaking, I could get rid of a lot of scarves from the older days (except for maybe that APdP) and not feel a loss! They are just not the right colors and level of brightness for me right now.
The 'new':
Flamingo Party Maxi Twilly (the original one) Summer 2017. I do buy non-red scarves sometimes. Mostly blue ones
Arabesques Mousseline Changeante 140 Fall 2019. This one is a clear favorite, alongside almost a hundred other other red scarves!
Now it's your turn!

Fab intro! And are those your college pics? Super cute!!!!
This week is definitely going to be full of introspection. I haven't been collecting as long you you have, but my tastes have shifted fairly dramatically.
My journey with H silks started with twillies for my bags and MTs. I did get a couple of 90cm silks as presents and inherited some too, but I didn’t really buy them myself until about 2016 when I was obsessed with solid colour CS or CSGMs that would match perfectly with a bag. Nowadays that isn’t enough, the design itself is important, how they fold etc.
This year I have been obsessed with moussies, bought my first on in January and this is my latest, number 3, bought in June when I was on a cruise. Before this year I couldn’t even touch a mousseline, let alone wear one. I always liked the pics here on tPF, but only got the courage when H stopped the production. I kind of realized it’s now or never and that they cannot be so delicate.
