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...

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.

Gaming is very popular in my family, and I find that I have a soft spot for silks with cards or dice on them. Le Tarot caught my eye a while back, and it comes in a number of pretty colorways, but this red, blue, yellow and green version caught my eye. Colors right in my wheelhouse, and designed by the popular Annie Faivre, one of my favorite designers, and even featuring her cute monkey. But what makes this scarf an award winner is this: when I sorted my scarf acquisitions for the year in order of purchase price, from high to low, this beauty was at the very bottom.

Presenting my Oscarf for the Best for the Least Award to Le Tarot.

Everyone loves a Year End Wrap Up, even in a year such as this... and oh - whatta year! I’m always curious to see what others are thinking, how they’re tallying up their votes, what makes the cut, the confessions (mea culpa dear wallet), and seeing what *really* gave us joy.
I was a bizzy bizzy bizzy cookie this year - though not as bad as last year - and managed to bring in 33 scarves. I sold or gave away a total of 21, for a net gain of 12 scarves... that’s how I’m looking at it anyway!
But how to start deciding who wins?
< throwing a dart >
I’ll start with the moussies - 6 new came in...

Best Supporting Moussie goes to Carre Kantha

And the Oscarf goes to Parures des Sables - it is beautiful!

All so wonderful on you! I also love your nuees. ( of course it is blue)

 

[Cookiefiend]

The Parures is my absolutely favourite!

Totally deserving of an Oscarf!

All so wonderful on you! I also love your nuees. ( of course it is blue)

Thank you! The Nuees is such a lovely scarf, and in this shade of blue - it's perfect to image floating along on those clouds!

What a fun week! As this is my first year collecting H scarves, I just wanted to thank you ladies for a fun distraction from 2020! I have loved spending time on this forum and appreciate all of you!
I collected a total of 23 scarves this year. I anticipate my next years will be much less, and I’ll become even more discerning. I’m a minimalist at heart. There is only one scarf that was a slight miss for me, and I decided to keep her after listing her for sale. So - I’m considering my purchases a total win for the year!

My categories:

1. Best format: the winner goes to 90 cm double face silks. If you had asked me six months ago, I would have said wash scarves, but after purchasing two double-sided silks, I’m a firm convert. Below is my Formule Chic.

2. Best Color Family: It’s the botanica from AW20, hands down. I have three scarves from this color family, and below is my La Legende du Cheval a Plumes. I can’t get enough of these colors!

3. Best Design: Almost all of my scarves, including the three in these photos, are borderless, with all four corners different. Some of the designs I love are Cosmographia, Acte III, Pivoines, and Animapolis. These are the designs that I prefer, as they maximize value and are the most aesthetically pleasing for me personally. I love feeling like I’m wearing a piece of art that could be hanging on my wall. Honing in on this design style early has allowed me to be very discerning, which is for the best for my wallet.

4. And the Scarfie goes to: Cosmographia Universalis Special Edition 90 cm, for the brighter future of Hong Kong. I love this scarf so much, it’s my favorite design and these colors are my catnip. The fact that it’s special edition makes it all the more precious to me!

Looking forward to 2021!

OMG... These are goooorgeous - the Parures is especially breathtaking... I‘m in love... ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for this wonderful eye candy!!

 

[Sammy Royal]

I need to catch up on all the wonderful posts over the last few days. (I have seen some lovely pics from so many fly by!)

Here is a quiet but beautiful moussie I picked up this year. Inspired by @Sammy Royal . Ceintures et Liens.

I would say she is in the running for best supporting actress for an understated, sublime performance.View attachment 4939696

So happy to be your twin! You tied this beautifully! ❤️ Isn‘t it amazing how this mousse can be shy one moment and surprises us with brilliant colours and this wonderful changeant effect the next...?

Oh, this is lovely!! There is a special place in my heart for “winter scarfs“ and this is absolutely wonderful, my dear Croisette!

I just sat down with my scarf spreadsheet, and here are the learnings:

I bought a total of 55 scarves this year, excluding my husband's gift. Among them:

• Age:
  • The scarves range from 1964 (Les Coqs) to 2020.
• Mode of purchase:
  • 18 (~1/3) were bought from the boutique.
  • The rest (~2/3) were from various other online sources (eBay, TRR)
    • I am surprised at how many came through those channels. But I do enjoy a good vintage scard.
• Sizes:
  • 35 scarves (~2/3) were 90 cms; that's standard for me. I also bought:
    • 3 x 140s (unexpected -- I thought I would buy more large ones)
    • 1 x giant triangle (unexpected -- I thought I would buy more large ones)
    • 6 x 45s (a lot, considering I only wear them for horseback riding).
    • 3 x 70s (fewer than I thought)
    • The rest are various odds and ends like maxi twillies, one regular twilly, etc.
• Mousseline status:
  • 5 scarves (10%) were mousselines
    • Disappointing as I hoped for more.
• Color:
  • 23 (42%) were red / predominantly red (I am not counting red lines or splotches)
  • This means that 3/5th of the scarves were NOT RED.
• Artists:
  • 6 (11%) scarves were by Alice Shirley
  • Cathy Latham and Robert Dallet are in the close second with 5 and 4 scarves, respectively
• Special edition status:
  • 10 (18%) were special and limited editions, which is something I have been enjoying this year.

I will start actually posting some of those scarves tomorrow. I think I have never even shared some of them...

I love how you broke this all down!
