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

[scarf1]

Thanks for all the kind words about Kachinas and the requests for more! As someone who likes to please others - here are a few more Kachinas!
Chasing Star Dancer Kachinas - symbol for the planets and stars, can resurrect those who have fallen from the sky by lifting up. (Tall, so that makes sense?)

Butterfly Dancer Kachina - Represents the butterfly that lands on flowers, then the medicine man uses these in his medications. (Big square headdress, butterfly on top and corn to sides)

Broadface Dancer Kachina - this Kachina carries yucca whips to make the people of the village join together to clean the community areas
View attachment 4561301
Corn Dancer Kachina - Known as Kae, he is probably the most popular of all the Kachinas, he represents a prayer for the fruition and growth of the corn.

And this guy I call Pineapple Haid because well - that looks like a pineapple... but he may be a Bean Kachina - I found a Google image of a Kachina with the crosshatching like this and he is green like a bean?

I remember this search with you, @bunnycat, and @marietouchet - it was fascinating!

yes they are!

Oooo - what all have you found?
I tried this one in the store - the same you tried but didn't go with, pink and orange - I'm hoping the neutral one will be available in Paris.

I do remember all that! It was a fun search and thank you for posting the link. All I did was ask the question though. It was @marietouchet and @Pautinka that cracked the case!

Henry Smith Sailor cotton 70. I believe this is from the very early 2000's...???? maybe....could be late 90's? I forgot. I did look it up at some point.

I love it! Nice pop against the leopard.

I underestimated the weather today, early in the morning so cold.
My first Losange: Tout en Carre medium model
And my first Maxi Twilly Cut which I brought in Paris in April.

Warm and cozy! Beautiful!

@Jbizzybeetle's tale of the KO frog in Madison Avenue made me think of other little quirks in H scarves, what I'd equate to in-jokes. My first encounter with an H in-joke was during a slow night at my home boutique. One of the SAs was chatting with me and asked me a question which I didn't understand: "Did you look for the monkeys?" Huh? Yep, like Al Hirschfeld hiding Nina in all his caricatures, Annie Faivre hid monkeys in her scarves. I spent half an hour being tutored in the fine art of monkey-spotting using this design.

Later I learnt that, like Hitchcock, Dimitri R did a cameo in one of his scarves: Prieres Au Vent This is still on my wishlist And now for subtext. A movie/TV/literature/fanfic addict like me thrives on subtext. Shakespeare's plays are riddled with it, and Acte III has a clever play on words with the visually arresting headless Titania. I was a bit bothered by her at first but I couldn't possibly resist the headless pun, all that back stage paraphernalia and the inconstant Moon.

Ugo Gattoni's Grand Prix, I'm told, includes a riff on Where's Wally. This is Where's Kelly . Somewhere in that magnificent chaos is a Kelly, and, if you find it before me, no spoilers, okay? This is going to be my fun project on the plane when next I take a vacation

TL;DR I learnt that H scarves can be a lot of fun

Fascinating!

@Pautinka and I had a long chat offline about ANGLERS COMPANION, a difficult one to discuss
There is almost nothing documented, ie written and for certain, about the Hermes version of the scarf
But the history of the book is rich, there are wheelbarrows full of trivia out there, and many scarf variants were manufactured by different companies over time
So, there isnt ONE story about the HS, but, there are wheelbarrows full of trivia out there, so long as you dont mind going out on tangents, it is a lot of fun to collect,
But, do we know a FIRM date and artist ??? Noooooo. I would not know what to say to someone looking to acquire it as a birth year scarf ...

@marietouchet I'm still on the lookout for info and will share any new finds with you!! It's a fascinating scarf.

La Cite Cavaliere was a delight to start circling all the “spots” of interest—still circling! Reminds me when as a kid in the allergist’s office there was a Boy Scout magazine with a page for a “search game,” a distraction from the pin-pricks.

There is also a lot of horsey paraphernalia hidden in the map that you can hunt for, Wally-style.

I think this has been my most recent discovery - the actual photograph that the two ladies on Grand Prix are based on. Entitled "Deux Femmes À La Terrasse D'Un Café", it was taken by Maurice Louis Branger in the 1920s. If you want to know who the women were, click here
https://echos-de-mon-grenier.blogspot.com/2015/03/deux-femmes-dans-le-nombril-du-monde.html?m=1
And, as a bonus, I looked through old Paris directories from the time and believe the cafe they were in was at 18, Rue Desaix.

This looks so beautiful on you! This cw is on my short list, along with the blue-green-yellow one. I'm traveling next month so I hope the airport shop will have both cws for me to try.

That looks perfect! Stay warm!

You are so welcome!
For a while after I bought mine, I considered re-homing it. But now I’d never part with it!

Fascinating stuff Cookie!!

Thanks sweetie! Now maybe you won’t think it so scary?

Haha!! It makes them very interesting and I love seeing them on others but, ehm, I would be worried that they were going to jump out of my drawer and into my nightmares. I know, I know, it's just me. However, that blue/pink CW slays me every single time I see it.

Great picture! That girth and the “sangles” in the scarf are probably super lightweight for racing. As you know, it is not common for general English saddles (thank heavens!) to use a girth with only one billet. But the racing girths are prettier.

Here’s another one for you. DH can never remember the name so he calls it a cummerbund which makes me laugh every time.

Cummerbund is hilarious yet quite comparable

Well the good news is that Hermes finally agreed to make a portrait of yours truly ^_^ they got the hair color wrong though, but oh well...

AnnaE...for obvious reasons (i.e., the Kelly-wrap) this is the ONE H that I'd want to frame, but I don't think that it would fit with the rest of the look of my law office (even though I have gone to great pains to have it NOT look like a law office, this might be a bit much to explain among the posters of Coltrane, Chet Baker, the twin towers, the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame and my German print of the Dancing Bears in the forest...).
