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

[essiedub]

Not on topic but trying out the fifi knot on my 70 ..the one without the psychedelic horses. I really like the knot though ...so easy! Ulterior motive is testing how long I can take cashmere..the cashmere is so fine that my allergy doesn’t seem to be kicking in? I am desperate to get Awoo

Squeeee! So beautiful! I love that second tie - how did you do that?

I was afraid someone would ask that. Basically, luck. but thanks all for the compliments!
I think it's probably a tie method y'all know by name (I don't), so you'll recognize the steps up to the point that pretty little "flower" magically appeared between my fingers. Share name, and I'll feel smarter the whole day.

I wanted the scarf to warm my neck as one of those days sunshine makes a hot 90 on your body but wind cools neck to 30.

So, goal: tight about neck, loose from neck towards shoulder seams of scoop-neck top.
Tied tight once at front neck. Crossed the two ends back across each other and around to tie at back of neck.

BUT tying moussie knot at the back of my neck is crazy clumsy--and then the ends stick out crazy weird.
So, while trying to stuff the flimsy ends into the knot, it all kind of slid forward and around, and Voila--cutest little flower-like accident blossoms where before was crazy scarf ends.

I knew when to quit.

Welcome to the 2019 Scarf Thread Scarflandians! It's time to start the first theme of 2019!


6 Jan 2019 -FIRST- Your first H scarf in any sense

This week we’re going to start the year exploring our “firsts” with H scarves. Take it liberally and spread it around because that means the first in any sense you want it to. After all, our motto this year is Grab and Go! So a first for you might be your actual first scarf, your first mousseline, first red scarf, first Annie Faivre, first multiple of a scarf you bought, first GM size. Maybe, some first purchases of 2019???

Whatever first takes your fancy this week, now is the time to show and tell!

The firsts I have for sharing today are some of my favorite firsts of the past.

My first mousseline GM was La Rosee and that started a Loooong fall down in to GM madness....

My first bandana purchase (which was also the first issue of the bandana format) - double first!

My first Maxi Twilly- Brazil...also from the 1st issue of the MT format...still going strong in its 4th or 5th year now...

My first “in store” purchase was in 2018 (H-matic) as I usually purchase new items via H.com so that was a real treat for me- Dans un Jardin Anglais

And more recently, Xmas brought my first C/S scarf- Zebres Bandana

PS- As I am writing this….I keep double-checking the word first…because it’s one of those days when nothing looks spelled correctly…. [emoji38]

Let's get the new year started right and share what firsts you can think of!

Wonderful firsts bunnycat! You seem to suit every colour going!

My first purchase from h.com - I remember hesitating for days over this. There are several H boutiques in town, but this design was sold out. Two days after I made the order, I received an email asking me to call a US number because I was using a non-US bank credit card. Fortunately, my order was accepted and, after the wonders of freight forwarding, I had my vert amande phoenix.

Yours is my top favorite CW in MP silks!

My very first H scarf was the result of my thinking that I needed to step up my appearance - to stop being that plain Jane all the time. I went in a mission looking at style blogs, Pinterest pages and fashion mags. In one of the blogs I found a woman who was building outfits around H scarves - hrmmm sed I. So off to eBay I went (because in the way back there was no way in h e double hockey sticks was I paying full price for a peice of silk - oh how times have changed! [emoji38]) and searched around when my eye was caught by a pale blue and textured (I had no idea about jacquard) silk - and it had falcons on it! Interesting! The seller was very kind (because I had zero feedback she asked that a buyer contact her) and we agreed on a price that I still think was fair.

I love this scarf. The seller disclosed that it was possibly stained on the corners. After receiving it and washing it, it is a little yellow-ish on the corners. I wrote to the seller and told her that I thought the scarf had been truly loved by its previous owner and that now it was my turn.

Because I didn’t get back on the 2018 thread before it was locked, I’d like to thank everyone for their kind words and likes. You guys are just the absolute best. [emoji173]️

This is sooooooo soft and lovely. I am eyeing one just now but I think it has a different jacquard.

First day to wear new MP moussie stole. Wore it three different ways with two outfits as temp jumps from 40 to 60 in three hours.

Gorgeous, Jbizzybeetle. It really has vavavoom.

Lovely.....and I hope the cashmere works out for you!

Congratulations - it's a stunning scarf and I can't wait to see you wear it!
Thank you too for your kind words regarding my pink parade!

Gorgeous!!
I'm on the hunt for just the right one after @bobkat1991's marvelous post!

And here I am, waving my pompoms with vigor, cheering you on!

Cookiefiend, you look so great in all your scarves that I would never think of telling you to stop wearing them. But, Hun, you couldn't look like plain Jane even in a flour sack!

Jbizzybeetle, you look MAH-VA-LUSS!!
And...to those who asked:. I was wearing Brides Et Gris Gris in my last photo post.

Great topic for the first of the year. My first scarf was Panthera Pardus, back in April 2016. I was in Glasgow for a ball and had forgotten my heels for the event so headed out to the shops. I have always liked scarves so thought I would "just take a peek at Hermes" because, obviously, "I just couldn't justify spending that on myself on a piece of silk". I fell in love immediately and promised myself I would treat myself to just one....yep, right! And yes, I just keep the Letratag there beside the boxes ready for the next purchase! [emoji23]

 

[ksuromax]

This is stunning ksuromax. Congratulations.

thank you, Dear Pautinka!

 

[HermesHope]

This is my first ever Hermès scarf, La Promenade de Platon, bought in the Spring of 2014. Like many on here, it was to be my one and only expensive designer scarf. After all, I am a very ordinary person, living on a pension and in a very small house. Well, one very slippery slope later and I am now totally out of room for any more and I have orange boxes balanced all over my bedroom. I wear one almost every day, even though I hardly ever manage to get out of bed, never mind actually leave the house. I don’t quite wear them with my pyjamas, but nearly.....

Here it is in a range of scarf ties. I might try to get a new modelling shot tomorrow.

You look so beautiful, @Cookiefiend !! And what a great story about your first purchase.
Who would’ve thunk that you would become a Scarf Queen! It is such a lovely one...

First day to wear new MP moussie stole. Wore it three different ways with two outfits as temp jumps from 40 to 60 in three hours.

Gaaaaah! Gorgeous!

Looking forward to seeing everyone’s firsts this week. Like @Cookiefiend, I bought my first few scarves off eBay.

After taking a voyage on QM2, I learned that there was a Queen Mary 2 scarf issued by Hermes in 2004 for the maiden voyage. It was only available on board in the Hermes boutique. In 2009, the design was reissued with no name on the ship. The scarf is simply called “ en avant toute!” Which means “ full speed ahead!”.
At any rate, I started my search for this scarf in 2013, long after the HA boutique had left the ship.
The very first scarf I bought was the 2009 version en avant toute! Shown below. The last pic is of the original 2004 Queen Mary 2 version, which I did eventually find on eBay some months later in unused condition.

I now have 2 addictions: H scarves, and taking QM2 transatlantic to beat jet lag.View attachment 4297940 View attachment 4297941 View attachment 4297942 View attachment 4297950

Oh so gorgeous! I so covet this scarf because I adore travel by ship. My first transatlantic crossing was on the QEII... but, it’s songard to come by! Yours are true treasures! And great scarf on site!

Not on topic but trying out the fifi knot on my 70 ..the one without the psychedelic horses. I really like the knot though ...so easy! Ulterior motive is testing how long I can take cashmere..the cashmere is so fine that my allergy doesn’t seem to be kicking in? I am desperate to get Awoo

I love the neatness of this knot and being almost necklace looking... Beautiful!

You look amazing! First of all, I love your hair styled this way and what a great knotnwith the Mors! And, the PP is one of the most striking and elegant designs, especially in this CW!
