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.

 

[Karenska]

Thank you for the wonderful introduction to Oscarf week, Fifi. All of my Hermes scarves were acquired during 2020, so they are all in the running for an Oscarf Award.

I like colorful scarves with interesting designs, and I tend away from horse bit, military, colonial and hunting themes. However, I have been inspired by many of you to look at vintage designs as well as neutral colors, and that leads me to my first Oscarf Award of the week.

Yesterday's scarf mail brought me a scarf from 1948 by Hugo Grygkar, which makes it my oldest scarf, as well as being older than me. Chevaux de Cirque celebrates the horse as a circus performer. I love the large ostrich plumes and I can almost hear how the bells jingle in rhythm as they trot around the ring.

My Most Vintage Award goes to Chevaux de Cirque.

Redbirdhermes, your collection is stunning! You need an award for Best Collector In Record Time.
Beautiful choices and finds.

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

What beautiful additions to your collection - all so vibrant but in different ways. The Offrandes is TDF!

 

[Pautinka]

Evolving tastes is what makes us yearn for that which we were unsure of originally, or at least that is how it is for me. ITCW is a design I would grab now but it’s so expensive on the resale market. Animapolis, too! ( ) And as I have said before, I can’t buy everything nor do I want to (although I certainly added to the collex this year. Blame it on the pandemic.

Passing on Appaloosa des Steppes when available at H, I finally found one this year - my framboise/canard cw. Not easy to find, though; this one came from France and not pristine condition. I have washed it but feel a good starching is needed (or whatever that starch-like product is, which I know I can look up; the name is just eluding me right now).
I feel that I do need to reevaluate my collection but good luck to me to have the courage to part with any of it - what if my tastes change back?
There are some scarves I just don’t get around to wearing. And that makes me feel bad because I certainly don’t buy these at these variously expensive or occasional good-deal prices for them to sit in the drawer!

The raspberry colouring is just so perfect for you....you need to buy more of it! Gorgeous.

I love this on you, pautinka. I have thought about getting this in pink. Beautiful!

Thank you. I can't remember the pink cw but I'm sure it's equally as gorgeous.

Lost track already after 2 days... busy days at work.
after starting to buy scarves on a more significant scale last year, my purchases also increased this year, for some of the reasons you described. I also learned better about what I like and what I could let go. This year was also my first at this forum, and I much enjoy the time out your posts provide. Definitely something to keep post COVID!

my Oscarf this year goes to Charabia, SOTD. I love the quiet design and its colours.

Best supporting actor today - the men's Bain d'Hermes. Inspired by @lanit and acquired this year.

This cw has the same calming effect as water. It's a perfect match for the design.

Difficult to decide... So, let‘s start with the easy ones! Best male actor this year: Losange GM Chevaux d‘Apparat:

View attachment 4940658

Your losange/top combo is amazing!

My award to Preferred Format of the Year goes to the CSGM...
Since I live in a tropical climate, I was never much drawn to cashmere shawls, nevermind that I have a mild allergy to cashmere. But, last year I took a chance with the format and found that shawls are actually very useful as they come in handy in highly air conditioned places and are great for travel.
But, my CSGM collection truly exploded this year, probably as a result of the pandemic. I was astounded to do a recount at the end of the year to see that I’ve acquired a grand total of 15! This year has been my most expansive and expensive Hermes scarf-buying year ever!
I am very pleased with my shawl collection as I now own nearly all of my CSGM Grails, which is pretty remarkable.
So, here are the shawls that win the award for Best Shawl of the Year... Yes, it’s a tie among these five beauties...
My last shawl purchase of the year and among my favorites is this Ex Libris en Kimonos
View attachment 4940681

I purchased a grand total of three Parures de Samourais shawls... I am in awe of each one, but the blue CW was my first and remains my favorite
View attachment 4940667

My most impacting and dramatic shawl is my red The Savana Dance. I was lucky to also find the navy CW of this design, but this one is unparalleled
View attachment 4940665

L’Arbre de Vie in this black CW was the most elusive of my CSGM Grails. I had been pursuing it since last year when I started my shawl adventures. I missed out on it twice until I finally landed this one this last summer. I am wearing it today and I am thrilled with it
View attachment 4940682

And, once again, my first CSGM of the year, and a most amazing design: La Femme aux Semelles de Vent
View attachment 4940666

Twins on the blue PdS Fifi....and am well jel of the ELEK. Stunning. Don't worry about having so many cashmeres.... you'll put them to good use when you visit me one Scottish summer!!!!!!

Ahhh, very fab, Ms P! It’s quite gorgeous and perfect on your pretty self.

Aw, thank you kindly Karenska!

Hi! One option you might like: Airtable. It’s an online database that is as easy to use as a spreadsheet. The feature that makes it good for scarf tracking is that it’s designed to be easy to drop in photos. The free version is plenty for this type of use.

(I love excel, but for anything I’m cataloging, like scarves or jewelry, I use airtable.)

oooo - I will check that out!

4 of the scarves that joined me this year were vintage jacquards - I love the jacquards. Sadly 2 left not too after their purchase because they were not good colors for me. The 2 remaining deserve Oscarfs.
Best Supporting Scallop Jacquard (and the most puzzling*) - Alliance Franco-Anglais.

The Oscarf for Scallop Jacquard Vintage Beauty goes to Venerie des Princes.



*I couldn’t find this scarf for a long time in the Piwigo catalogue, but I knew it was H, and in the scallop jacquard. Do you know how long it can take to go through on random searches, looking at tiny, often blurry photo? The listing had terrible pictures and the seller was - erm - less than helpful. I didn’t pay much (@Redbirdhermes this would qualify for the Best for Least award too) and was a little worried it was going to be a disaster. It was in excellent condition though, just a little musty and wrinkled. Another question about it is, when was it produced? Piwigo has it as 1940, but our learned MT thinks it’s from the early 60’s because of the jacquard.

My Oscarf for "Best Design" of course goes to ... PeF! I was slow to get on the bandwagon but ended up with 2 90's and a CSGM, which is the most I have of any single design in my collection. Here is a family photo.

Yes, yours makes my heart pitter-patter, it is so lovely.
The date does help, I had mine down as 1957... I wonder if H had seasons back then? Could it be FW 1956, meaning it’s part of 1956, but no one found one at the boutique until 1957?
Hermès is... contrary!
