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

[kittyvoo]

Why is it that you can look so good wearing a scarf this way?? I tried this, and I think I might be mistaken for either a beggar or a peasant.

It’s funny until it happens. Nothing will scratch from my brain the memory of how, one early evening, I was standing in the slightly misty rain with my son, wearing a Hermes Rocabar poncho. And lipstick, just for the record. He was just little so I put my arm around him to keep off the rain. Wishing our lift would hurry up, I noticed a man approaching on the footpath who, with a look as defeated as it was earnest, tries to hand me his bag of take-away.

I couldn’t face that poncho again and sold it the very next day.

And I think, it is lovely on you, Joanna!

I have a similar feeling. This being said, I think it looks great on you!

Thank you but all redeeming credit goes to the scarf!

Oh my gawd! I’m sorry but I’m laughing and cringing at the same time!! You poor thing!

aw, thank you, Croisette! It really is the scarf!

I know, right! I was so horrified I took a picture of myself right afterwards so I could reassure myself that I was wearing lipstick etc. This is it (August 2017)

Sharing my present from MrBcat this Xmas (which kind of fits in this week's theme) Pani la Shar Pawnee. It was a silk taffeta charm triangle released some years ago. I don't know that the central figure was an actual chief, but a representation of the Pawnee tribe. The horses and figures around the border were inspired by the notebooks of 19th century painter/illustrator Karl Bodmer who spent some time recording imagery of the American West.

Bunnycat, that is an outstanding gift, and you look lovely!

Thanks so much!


I love this CW! And beautifully paired with the striped top! You look quite the Parisienne yourself! Tres chic!


Thank you very kindly


I adore that Paridaiza and am happy to be your twin... Such a joy of a scarf! A d Cavaliers is simply amazing


Thank you so much!


This carré is a treasure for so many reasons! The jacquard and CW are unique and exquisite, and it is a historical piece passed down to you so lovingly. Amazing! Wear it in good health!


Again, an exceptional post... I am in awe at your special editions... I spent a while gazing at each one... You never cease to amaze me!


This CW is gorgeous! I first saw it on @lanit and it also looks amazing on you! Congrats on owning such a special carré


I love the original Amoureux... and that dip-dye is heavenly!


The Kyoto Marble is perfect for this week, especially in the BeB design, which represents an historical carriage. You own a treasure


This CW is sublime! I own the red and ivory and this summer a very special third one came my way that I will post tomorrow... It is such a beautiful and romantic classic!


I am speechless! Breathtaking shawl and you wear it beautifully


Ha! Love it! Would love to see it tied


How wonderful it is! And how beautifully you’ve tied it

Thank you so much, Living.la,vida.fifi!

Bobcat, truly beautiful!

I'm glad you like it, Karenska. Thanks!

You always look adorable in your scarves! This is such a pretty cw of Tohu Bohu, one of my all-time fave scarves!

Happy Holidays, everyone! Staying pretty busy diving and skiing, so not a lot of scarf wearing here, but here are a couple recent photos:

Pique Fleuri de Provence and Promenade au Pays de Cezanne, both worn as headscarves — because it is so cold out!

Exquisite look!

I know! I felt so sad about my Rocabar because I loved it so much.

On topic, Aux Portes du Palais, in beautiful pastel colors. From an unknown source quoting Hermès’ scarf description:

A deep understanding of Indian culture, art and mythology inspired the designer to create the scarf Aux Portes Du Palais. Each detail, character, animal, plant and architectural element is deliberate and richly symbolic. The large doors signify the threshold between two worlds: the known and the unknown. Fruit-laden trees bursting with flowers represent the Buddha in Indian folk art and symbolize fertility.

The lotus flowers, the flower of the Buddha, represent spiritual blossoming. Emblematic animals, revered and present in all Indian traditions, are also present: the elephant – ridden by Indra, the god of storms and rain – brings peace and prosperity; the horse is the symbol of wisdom and formal beauty; the cow, a nourishing mother figure, is the very image of non-violence; the tiger represents the energy of nature… The four dancers next to the trees narrate the legends of the gods and stories from everyday life using graceful gestures.

In the corners of the scarf we see examples of the protective drawings women paint on their homes. The frieze surrounding the scarf, in the style of Indian miniatures rich in colorful decorations, is a tribute to the delicacy of Indian art, expressed in fabrics and temple decorations alike.

And as Fifi noted, Act III Scene ii La Clairiere, in cw 05.

And off-topic, but no less fun (at least for me!), my Christmas present from DH, The Savana Dance! I adore this 70 vintage silk, my very first. The colors and design are just incredible. I have looked for it for more than two years, either in this cw or the fuscia/black. I am also in love with this format and silk. A treasured Christmas gift that I will love wearing.

 

[Living.la.vida.fifi]

Thank you for sharing — all beautiful!



Twins on that lab du temps — one of my favorites!



ahhhh that Turandot!!!

Although I wouldn’t pass on any CWs of Turandot, this red seems so appropriate for the theme and it’s one so versatile that I will wear often

Happy Holidays, everyone! Staying pretty busy diving and skiing, so not a lot of scarf wearing here, but here are a couple recent photos:

You look amazing!

You always manage to find such unusual scarves! Love the pinks !


Quite a collection. I always swoon when I see that flamingo party

Thanks so much... That was such a lucky and unexpected find!

Gorgeous - as always!

Tres chic! I especially like the second!

Thank you so much!

These are just fabulous, Fifi. Gobsmacked with the Fantasies Indiennes and the Zenobie. Wow! What color is that border on the Ballets Russes? It looks black to me.

Thank you so much! The border is a dark hunter green
