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

[momasaurus]

I’m sure they would only “fix” the one side that was damaged, so you would end up with a lopsided Carre

I missed this, thank goodness @momasaurus alerted me to your comment. As I had imagined. Sad to hear your idea about the rosee couldn’t be done. I was hoping that it could

Yeah...but I don’t know if I am ready to damage my scarf...let me know if you ever do. I may need some instruction on how to do properly.

Indeed, but it freaks me out!! And knowing my luck, H would probably say , “well, in spite of that huge slit in the border of that CSGM, we still don’t want to cut down the border!”. Or words to that effect!!

I was really hoping they would agree to cut down the border, too! As it is, I have never worn the La Rosee because of that border - grrrr...

Reading the discussion on cutting down hems — a quick google suggests there are a lot of services that can do a rolled hem. There seem to be more based out in the UK especially. Fundamentally, a rolled hem is not that hard to do — many other brands (not to mention fakers) manage to do it. I am pretty tempted to give one of these services a try with an older scarf.

Thanks Fizzywater! To answer your question:View attachment 4403169 It's a dark ultramarine/brighter navy, but not royal blue. I'm comparing them in this photo to Tout en Carre, Acte III, Zodiaque, and Turandot. The dark navy of the TeC looks almost black next to it. Acte III's center is almost exactly a match. Zodiaque is royal blue and much lighter and brighter. Turandot is the same shade, but a slightly warmer hue (a touch more violet than Tuiga). Hope that helps!

That's a fascinating perspective. It makes my appreciation and fondness for the scarf even deeper. This is one of those scarves I just couldn't unsee and spent a long time hunting down. Calling it Minnie Mouse isn't meant to be disparaging. It's really just what it feels like to me and I love it because of the association.

It's not hard! I think any good professional can manage. I'm a hobby seamstress and I managed to re-sew a rolled hem on a cheap vintage silk twill scarf that started falling apart after watching a couple of YouTube videos. My amateur job isn't too bad. I think it could be worthwhile, if the alternative is letting the scarf go unwornView attachment 4403172

I have done hand rolled hems on scarves...in those days of long winter evenings before Google and Netflix. (Sigh.) It's not difficult; it just requires a lot of patience (it's very slow).

Aha! I was about to suggest sending someone to Lyon to learn the craft, but perhaps we've found our answer! @Hat Trick and @FugitiveRouge - maybe it's time to start thinking up a price point for your services....

But now, BACK TO TOPIC! Sorry.
I don't understand the next three weeks of themes, so I'm going to wait until the pictures start rolling in.

Perhaps either start a new thread about this issue or carry it over to the 'curate' thread.

We need to get back to topic now before the reports start rolling in TY

The colors look great, and nice to see a format that is different from what we usually see! Sorry for your solar panel troubles, sounds beyond frustrating.

It's just gorgeous! Thankfully solar troubles are sorted - DH amazes me at times (actually constantly!) He did try to explain the whole electricity and currency thing to me last night and commented that I was typing too much. I was erm, 'researching' some H ankle boots as a consolation for surviving the solar episode! DH now wants wind turbines as well

Ah — I am not sure what to advise here, as I have broad athletic shoulders, so no bag problems here. The Maasai does come with a longer strap and can be theoretically work crossbody, but not sure how that would work. I am jealous you can pull off the Evelyne, I tried it multiple times, and can never make it work for me.

An Evelyne is my grail bag! I fell in love when I worked in the Middle East and was younger and more sensible (aka pre-H love). DH has currently forbade one so I am currently narrowing down colours. I'm leaning towards a to a neutral (etain or bleu nuit? w PHW) but what is this broad athletic shoulders and not making an Evelyne work?!?! Sorry if this if Off Topic! I'm now madly goggling the Maasai FYI.... Thanks to Mai Tai's blog I'm also loving Picotin's but I suspect the mere mention will lead DH to an H-ban He's already banned scarves hence boots

It's pretty cold again, with Voitures à Transformation CSGM today

Oh wow, those colours are just stunning..... I may have added it to my wishlist

 

[Croisette7]

Oh- that's too bad! The canvas strap is perfect for my shoulders and the casual vibe goes with most everything for me. It finally made me realize all I need is one of those in a neutral color, and a couple of smaller dressy purses and I am good. Because, unlike with scarves which I tend to look for a different one every day, I am incredible lazy about purses, hate to change out of them and prefer to carry the same one for weeks on end before getting tired and switching to a new one.



That's a beautiful blue Croisette!



No- definitely not at all Disney!



Yeah- that was a such a great resource for looking at past issues....so sad it is gone...



I like the combo! (And I can see how it could be a real challenge for pattern on pattern....)

Thank you bunnycat!

Quite hot today, so I'm carrying my SaP summer silk instead of wearing it. View attachment 4403105

I love your CW, litchi!

My last contribution, the Monte Carlo carré

For sure. Nobody is going to mistake me for a cowboy! But it's just a vibe I can't shake unless I'm wearing it with the most formal suit and shirt combo. It's kind of like my Hola Flamenca, which I pulled out to consider wearing this morning. (Mod shot with my sad-looking pajama shirt)

It's quite a sophisticated scarf, but it screams Minnie Mouse and Hello Kitty to me. I tried tying it on as a top to show off the design. I think that's pretty fab. I'll have to try this under a blazer or with a tank top this summer.

I decided to wear my brand new Tuiga as the SOTD. I was so thrilled to find this with tags still on it. I've been on the hunt for this colorway for ever. It will be perfect for summer. It's still cold and wet here, so not the most seasonal choice. But I couldn't resist doing a test run. I love it with my red glasses; the red hem really coordinates and pops nicely.

love that tuiga

Thank you, Croisette! I love being able to share the results of my successful grail hunts with H fans who get it.

well... Let's see now. Is it red? Yes. It's totally up your alley. I could see the polka dots going very nicely with some of your high contrast AMcQ outfits, too.

Thanks! I love it so much, but the red white and black polka dots are basically the natural habitats of MM and HK. See? View attachment 4402721

thanks for the laugh

It’s up my alley not just because it’s red! I like this graphic look — I would totally wear this with a plain black McQ dress. All jokes aside, it is on my list now.

I am still not seeing the cartoon connection we took Eva Air flight this winter that was Hello Kitty-themed, and everything was pink, not red!



This is from today — with my Flamingo Party MT. Technically, it belongs to my husband, but he is a generous man

It’s been a real (first-world) problem though, since I love both McQueen and Hermès scarves, and making them work together can be difficult.

Ooh, that would be charming framed! There’s a pastel blue version that I didn’t like on me but would be great framed in a certain room, I think. Doom!

I was struck by the idea of a gavroche framed, though, and panicked at the realization that I might have purged a cheap frame that I bought years ago. The print was sub-mediocre, but the frame was ornately carved + layers of matts. I still have it - it’s smaller than remembered and the gavroche larger, so the matting is lost, but I would still hang this:

That would be darling framed!

I love this scarf, and this colorway. It would be excellent framed!

It's a special edition and only available in the Casino Boutique, Monte Carlo.

A tpfer just started a thread about the Animapolis and a Super H she framed. They look very nice!

Your cute collage made me smile

Hello Kitty and (my favourite) My Melody have several costume changes. HK usually has a red ribbon, but Eva chose to have both Sanrio characters in pink. I have a cute HK in camo and I've both bought as well as declined to buy scarves because they reminded me of My Melody.

They look amazing, worth buying duplicates for.

Hello again Scarflandia!

Do some of the scarves in your scarf drawer have siblings? Did you maybe hit the Xerox copy button a few times when you saw a favorite scarf in another format? Have an original issue and then loved the remake as well? If so- this week is for you!

14 April 2019 FRATERNAL TWINS: same but not the same

This week we are celebrating scarves that have fraternal twins in your drawer (or maybe you're a fraternal twin with someone else this week and can post that? Maybe you have the original and they have a re-release or variation!) Put on your sideways thinking cap and hop in to your scarves!


I'll start with one of my favorites, Mythiques Phoenix. Luckily, I have managed to keep from having this one in multiples of the same format but when I first saw this pocket square online at H dot com I HAD to have it....




It was soon followed with a twilly (rehomed now)


And last year the mousse stole:





I never actually intended to have multiples of Art des Steppes...but when I found a color coordinated tie of it for my pocket square....wellll....I decided it was going to have a sibling and MrBcat was just going to have to learn to like a tie that had a pattern on it!

Thank you, pt.
We can talk about wide borders next month when we have a theme on hiding or highlighting parts of a scarf. That would definitely include borders and other open spaces (someone mentioned skipping Pivoines because of this).
