Scarves Scarf Of The Day 2019 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[bunnycat]

I'll probably spend a good chunk of time reminiscing this week. The end of the year is a great time for that and this will give me some excuse to plow through my scarf drawer(s) and explore.

One of my first purchase was this twilly (after being sure as shootin' that small formats were the only thing that could interest me... ) Bouclerie d'Attelage. It has since found a new home (though in retrospect I shold have kept it as it goes with several bags....oh well...hindsight...I do still have and wear the t-shirt tho...it's a fav...)

One of my very first SotD pics! (And to all who have been participating in SotD since then- my sincere thanks and appreciation for always making me feel so welcome in Scarflandia!)






And, let's just go ahead with maximum contrast for some of the more recent purchases

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.

I love the way things have shifted for you! Beautiful Serva!

I had fun wrapping the Sieste au Paradis scarf 140 around my head today. One skill out of the ordinary that needs to be done more frequently.
Then I realized I needed a new style of earring to complete the look.

Love your earrings too!

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!

What a smart way to earn shopping money while in college!

The arabesques was made for you!!Amazing picture!

Lol, me too on the "I'll never need a bigger-than-tiny scarf". I love how your color and style sense was there early on, and just got bigger and better with time!

I have maximum respect for those who are able to let scarves go. I just can't bring myself to do it! Those I have bought that don't bring me joy I just lay aside in the hope that as I age and my colouring needs change they may be welcomed back into the fold ( excuse the bad pun there! ).
You have a fantastic collection BC.

Thank you so kindly Langsam! Totally agree the words- "never say never" are most appropriate when applied to H.....

Thank you Pautinka! I don't have too many regrets on the ones I have re-homed so far. If I don't reach for them, I just don't reach for them, and think it's better for me to put the $$ towards something else. I am having a harder time now with the ones I do have left, even if they aren't getting a lot of wear for the same reason you give. Maybe one day I'll change my mind and they'd be too hard to find.

Lovely intro! arabesques so perfect on you!
I am looking forward to more “what’s old/ new” and all the pretties along the way!

I have this scarf in the same color, also have never worn it. It looks beautiful on you. I purchased mine after my first child was born and it bears a lot of memories. The vignettes show such sweet and tender images.

I like your style back then and your style now. The dark scarf against your pink outfit looks so smart.

Wow, the three of us are in the same boat with this scarf.

Like many other scarfies, I have trouble letting go of scarves which don't work for me. Sometimes, they have memories attached. Sometimes, I spent so long tracking that design down that re-homing it seems a betrayal of my efforts. And also, like many of us, I started off thinking that I'll buy just one

This was my "one".

I love the design of Caraibes, but this blue really didn't do anything for me. I collected scarves before I ever wore them. And when you buy them as art, you don't have to pay attention to whether or not they suit you. I wanted to wear my H scarves. So I had to learn which colours suited me, which shades of those same colours made me look like a Halloween escapee, and which colours I should just admire on others.

I still admire that Caraibes but I just took the major (for me) step to rehome it. First H scarf I bought. First H scarf I am rehoming.
