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

[scarf1]

Twin! 90s today and tomorrow, but 61, rain and thunderstorm Friday. I am sooooo happy!

Glad to be your twin!

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

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 is great! Twins on this scarf! That is one of my favorite scenes on the scarf.

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.


What an awesome discovery!! Gattoni captured them exactly

Thank you! Hope you find yours!

That looks perfect! Stay warm!

Thank you!

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

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

Fabulous!

Thank you!

Actually wearing yesterday’s SOTD today. Really need to wear it as a headscarf, but too hot today. Have to wait until I drive somewhere.

Ugh don’t think the photo attached...

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.

Aww- naw- Kachinas are good spirits!

Ugh don’t think the photo attached...

Beautiful AnnaE!

 

[bunnycat]

your cotton Smith is the best! so elusive! e-wink!

Thank you! It's really comfy! (though I originally got it with thoughts of framing it....)

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...).

Sounds like an eclectically enticing decoration - wonderful for conversations.

Looks perfect with your red lipstick

Just out of curiosity I wonder if a Hermès scarfie shops lipstick with a scarf, showing the scarf and saying you are looking for this specific colour or you pick a colour and match it with a scarf at home or you manage to choose them separately and find later out it’s a perfect match because it’s your favourite colour?

SOTD. Equateur Wash in a chain knot. Excuse the lipstick on my teeth!

 

[Pautinka]

Jeesh. Why aren't my photos posting even though they have uploaded? Twice in two days. Sorry.

@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

Ihad no idea that Grand Prix was hiding a Kelly! I am searching today........!!

Wow, excellent sleuthing Pautinka....I've bookmarked your post because now I need a print of that photo in my life!!

The latter for me. I enjoy shopping my lipstick collection to find just the right one to wear with each scarf.

I do try to blend scarf and lipstick colors at least by warmth or coolness if not by actual color. No need to shop for specific colors though....I must think lipstick is like confetti or candy since I was reorganizing my makeup drawer a couple of weeks ago and apparently have acquired about 30-40 colors so I think I've got all cases covered. (and I always buy back ups of favorite colors...)

Wow! That's a fabulous knot!!!

Off topic - though I’m certain there could be some research done on this cutie - and stuck in a plane on the runway. “Too much traffic in the air”
So travel photo - sorta - in my Iris gav

And we’re rolling again so TTFN!
