[papertiger]

My very best wishes to everyone for the New Year to all SOTD regulars, occasional posters and newcomers alike .

The SOTD 2021 thread is now open and ready for business:

Scarves - Scarf of the Day 2021 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

continued from here THEME WEEKS for 2021 from TEAM SCARF MISTRESS Just for fun, each Sunday begins a new Theme Week. This year, we have some real treats in store! We have a full complement of scarf mistresses and GSMs for 2021 and I want to give a quick shout out and thank you to my fellow...

forum.purseblog.com

The new theme commences tomorrow (3 Jan - whenever your time zone gets there) but there's no reason why you can't post earlier if you want.

Good Morning Scarflandia!

This week’s theme is Sherlock Scarves.

Well my fellow scarf fiends - we’re doing a bit of a switcheroo on you! We’re really going to ask you to put on your Deerstalker hats, and employ all your considerable sleuthing skills. Not to find out what Santa’s hidden under the tree, but to solve some H Mysteries.

Sherlock Holmes first appeared in print in 1887, A Study in Scarlet. Sherlock Holmes was known for his proficiency with observation, deduction, forensic skills and logical reasoning that borders on the fantastic.

I don’t think ole Sherlock has a thing on us Scarfies! I have never seen such a dedicated group - we know SO MUCH about these beauties… and how did we find out so much about them? Why we’ve sleuthed through the internet, we tracked down art and history books, H’s own libraries! We deduced, we used our intuitive and inquisitive minds, to learn all we could.
I’m not sure how much logic was involved - it is H after all!

I’m going to start the week with Kachinas.

A Kachina is a spirit being in the religious beliefs of many Native American cultures, Kachinas are spirits or personifications of things in the real world. The central theme of kachina beliefs and practices as explained by Wright (2008) is "the presence of life in all objects that fill the universe. Everything has an essence or a life force, and humans must interact with these or fail to survive." The Kachinas are supernatural beings who visit the villages to help with everyday activities and act as a link between gods and mortals. There are different types of Kachinas - Chief Kachinas (elders), Ogres (disciplinary), Warriors or Guards (enforcers), Runners (race the men) , Clowns (humor), Female, and Animal.

I don’t know about you - but I find this fascinating.
The outer circle has 16 Kachinas, the inner has 8. I’ve been researching off and on for a couple of years, trying to figure out what they all are. I have found what I *think* are some of them, and a lovely woman on Instagram (@cloudwei.c) has been working on it too. She had some that I did not and I’ve incorporated her information. I hope she doesn’t mind!

I’m going to start with the inner circle - starting with Number 1 and going around the circle clockwise.

I hope we can all be like Sherlock and find even more information on this scarf. I don’t know what all of the Kachinas are, but would like to. I’ll be adding the next 16, including the ones I don’t know, starting tomorrow. Any new information gleaned using time tested Sherlock, I mean Scarfie methods will be added to my Google documents and posted at the end of the week.

And I am so curious about so many other scarves as well… What are the all the lucky tokens that are included in Turandot? What does the background of Mythiques Phoenix mean?

Tell us something interesting about a scarf you have or play mystery scarves: show us a close-up & we’ll guess the scarf - we’re going to be all over the place this week!

It’s Elementary, my dear Watsons!

Fantastic intro, cookie! I have looked into the kachinas some too.

I love h silks with their rich and thoughtful designs. They are so much more than scarves! They are works of art, and they offer a window into so many fascinating subjects if you care to explore.

I also love the curiosity and sense of wonder and excitement of the scarfies here. Everyone's passion for these lovely carres is fabulous, and guessing will be fun too. I can't wait to play and learn this week!

Today I wore La Serpentine de Pierre Charpin, and posted it in the wrong thread LOL. He designs furniture and cool objects. I think this is his only scarf for H. View attachment 4922395

Momasaurus, you look lovely! I like your lipstick colour - which is it, if you don´t mind asking me.

I have missed out on a few weeks of SOTD because of being busy with work and struggling to photograph scarves in daylight this time of the year (living in the dark north...). So I apologise for being a bit off topic for this week.

Here are my contributions for Spice Route - Destination Europe:

Marine et Cavalerie. In my cw the flag looks like the Dutch flag and the cavalry are wearing red, white and blue colours.


Napoleon x 2. I love it so much I got it in two cws (that look very similar...)

 

[hermesguy]

Thanks! It is a quality that comes with age


Stunning insouciance !

[hermesguy]

So. Darn. Fabulous! ❤❤❤

Cookie...thanks for the vote of "confidence"! Wish I wasn't so alone in the "crossover" accessories camp of H's...

 

[hermesguy]

I can see you on the Left Bank, sitting at table at a little bistro, enjoying a good bottle of French wine (pre-covoid of course).

CBL...it is on my "bucket list"

 

[Naessi]

My contribution for last week's theme Wearing Two Hats is of course Jan Bajtlik

An attempt at a Kluska look-a-like (dressing up one of the dogs in Animapolis)


Cosmographia Universalis. This one you have seen many times before, but I can't help but post it again. I just love the colours!


Exposition Universelle. The latest addition of JB scarves in my wardrobe. With Kluska wearing an Animapolis scarf in one of the corners.
