Scarves Scarf Of The Day 2020 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[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.

I suppose I could call these the joint winners of the Last Hurrah Prize for a year when retail therapy became more than just a buzz word.

Last scarf mail of 2020: I opened the package a scant 20 mins ago. It's a special ed of Perspective - bought for curiosity value. It was issued for The International Federation for Human Rights and incorporates Jane Birkin's signature in the design.

And my last boutique purchase of 2020: Mega Chariot, picked up yesterday. I think it appealed to me because it hearks back to a much simpler age when I could fangirl Optimus Prime (now I obsess over Bruce Wayne's mental stability ).

Favorite 70 of 2020 is J’aime mom carre. I had been hoping to get one for a couple of years, then in January I found this one.
2020 definitely saw me reaching for the 70s often while at home.
this CW has turned out to be more versatile than I expected. I often paired it with a burgundy cardigan.

and my favorite 90 was another past season find. I had been wishing for this CW forever and felt lucky to get this one in excellent new condition, because i can never have too many BLUE scarves, LOL!

Beautiful J'aime mon carre, scarf1! And I agree on the blue scarves!

Well, my award for Best New Format in a Starring Role goes to The Mousseline...
After drooling over pictures of moussies here on TPF for a long while, I finally waded in and added the first to my collection, and I am thrilled with the format. Moussies work very well in a tropical climate and they are truly sublime. This year, I found five beauties and I know they won’t be the last...
So, once again, here is my very first mousseline and the one that remains my favorite and worthy of the Best Moussie award: Offrandes d’un Jour



And, here is my last moussie purchase of the year and winner of Best Moussie in a Supporting Role: Under the Waves in the black CW



And, I also was lucky to find a long-time moussie Grail: Rayures Mexicaines in this less commonly seen CW. @Joannadyne let me try hers on when she visited and I was convinced I had to have it, and she helped me locate this one... It arrived in time for my birthday



My other two lovelies are: Carre Kantha



And, Under the Waves in the navy/pink CW

Both marvelous and so versatile! The Poisson Corail is truly wonderful in the blues CW... Very fitting for the design, IMO

Every pic is a cloud of dreamy allure!
Love the last pic of UTW: the fish really look like they are peering out from wavy seaweed fronds

 

[Karenska]

This design is a treasure... So sumptuous! My favorite thing about it is the mandolin jacquard... Love this CW as the figures stand out so well

They do! And the jacquard design is in completely in sync with the scarf’s theme. So fab. One of my treasured silks, as I am sure are yours.

Thank you so much... and, I also thought those UtW pics were pretty effective as it almost looked like a watery world with swimming fish in it... The magic of mousselines!

I had that happen with Acte III. I loved the red cw in the stock photos. I loved it even more when @papertiger modshot hers. I went to H with high expectations of saying "Take my money, take it, take it!" ... and somehow it just didn't look the same IRL for me. I still bought 3 other cws of that design, but I've always felt like I missed out on the red. Doesn't help that it is still available on the local h.com and I get dissociative amnesia each time I see it - my finger moves to click "Add to Cart"

Aw XCS, you are not alone on this issue. I fell in love wit the red Turandot on several members photos here, finally it was offered by a dear member and the red just did not look great on me, and normally cool reds do! It was the other colors and pattern just would not work no matter how I tied it. I eventually found my slate and purple ones. I loved reading your post though.

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...

Now the question is what will 2021 bring us silk lovers? My tansu is so full I must edit before buying anything else. Reflecting on this past year I sought out vintage and also Landed some very Special Edition silks too, and I enjoyed contributing to some worthy causes. So here are my “nominees” as they are all winners in my world
Best Shawl- that I wear the most this year ( My bd gift at start of Pandemic)

View attachment 4939666

I empathize with your need to make room for any future additions... my silk storage system limit has runneth over.
Your nominees are amazing, amazing, amazing- I was going to call out my favs, but you’re right; they’re all winners!

Hmm, a fun theme! I'll try to keep things to just three categories, all with archive pics as I'm away from my collection at the moment.

Most Worn: Carre Kantha CSGM
I am thrilled at how often I pull out my new-to-me Carre Kantha CSGM. It's been perfect for cool weather and goes well with most of my winter wardrobe.

Most Inspiring: Plumes en Fete 90
This is the scarf that started it all, my 30th birihday scarf and the one that started me down the slippery orange slope.
View attachment 4939843

Most Exciting Find: Into the Canadian Wild 90
I'd had my eye on this one since starting my collection, so I jumped on it when I found it gently preloved at retail price. It's been a joy figuring out how to tie it different ways to highlight all the different wildlife.

Bravo Paruers!!...stunning.
Can’t wait to see your other winners (runners up are beauties, too)

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!

What an excellent start you’ve gotten! It’s great that you’ve already honed into detail preferences that work for you. CS s.e. is a treasure.
