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.

 

[Pautinka]

oh BRAVO! This is my favorite design, and I am watching for another cw still, it’s beautiful!

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!

Ain't that the truth!!!

 

[Sammy Royal]

You wear the Losanges so well, Sammy!

Thank you, my dear friend! It is my fav format - whether it is PM or GM.

thank you, Fifi!
wonderful, all those greens!
lovely, Sammy!
thank you, Croisette!

Thank you!

Beautiful, Sammy. Love your claque au vent. Very festive!

Thank you, dear Awillow! ❤️

Artist Akira Yamaguchi's masterpiece for Hermes immediately captured my attention this year. At first I thought that I would be satisfied with one colorway, but as more appeared at random times on h.com I found myself hitting buy three more times. I purchased two books of his artwork which helped me to understand this scarf better. And, I use a detail of this scarf as my avatar here on the forum.

Clearly this magnificent scarf by this accomplished artist is deserving of awards least of all mine.

My Favorite Design of the Year goes to Les Artisans D'Hermes.

Ooooh- you have 3! This is probably another one of those I will eventually regret not getting more of. It's rare, but this one is soooo worth it! Nice choice (and mine too for best new design!)

I always admire your brides moussie, bunny. I regret not picking this one up whenever you post it!!

Thank you! I hope you find one some day!

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.

Stunning choice! So cozy- but also a little edgy!

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

This is another I have come to love in many color ways, not just the one bright one I have/ Congrats on your find! (So easy to wear!)

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

Perfect combinations Sammy! The CauV looks superb with the cheerful summer top! It seems it would be easy to swing this scarf a few different directions depending on the color/material you pair it with.

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

Beautiful finds! I love them all fifi!

The Quadri is SPECTACULAR on you!!

Thank you!

Ahhh, thank you so kindly, Bunnycat, that’s the product! Does anyone prefer one brand over the other?

I think the one I get is called Faultless Light Finish. ???

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.

*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.

Pricing yet again you can wear almost any color! The gold/caramel is spectacular on you!

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.

Beautiful choices Langsam!

thank you, Cookie!


Love those Jacquards, Cookie!

Thank you, I love the soft glow of the jacquard!

Thanks, bunny. I was trying to good when the moussie came out. And my boutique never got them, so I didn't get to try it. I have seen the blue available since on the resale market but not the red.

The red is still available online in Canada, but only the rose vif here. I believe I asked my sa to see if she could bring it in, but she said they were sold out in the us.

I do love your colorful bains!

Sisters with you! It looks lovely on you!!

The raspberry colouring is just so perfect for you....you need to buy more of it! Gorgeous.
Thank you. I can't remember the pink cw but I'm sure it's equally as gorgeous.
Oooooh, very, very elegant. I love it!
This cw has the same calming effect as water. It's a perfect match for the design.
Your losange/top combo is amazing!
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!!!!!!
Aw, thank you kindly Karenska!

Thank you, dear Pautinka!!

congrats! I have a slightly different CW, but this was one of my most worn scarves.

OMg , love both of these. I have been hop8ng to find a claque au vents one day.


Wow! These Are great on you

Thank you! ❤️ Keeping my fingers crossed that you will find a CauV! It is the perfect summer holiday scarf - hopefully including some travelling again next year...

thanks, scarf1! I felt lucky to find this. I followed a typical pattern for me (sadly) with this acquisition - I seem to specialize in seeing a scarf I am interested in online from resellers when there are several available, thinking too long, having them all disappear, and then waiting till one comes around again (hopefully not at a completely outrageous price)...

Hi just checked my Fontan book Carres d’art IV. First released in 1956.
looks lovely with your striped top.

 

[Sammy Royal]

Truly deserving of an Oscarf!

Lovely!

Gorgeous - the losange is fabulous!

Adorable!

oooo - I will check that out!

<le sigh >
Theyre all beautiful, each and every one!

Thank you sweet Pautinka! ❤

Dear Cookie, thank you for sweet compliments!! And major congrats on your two jacquards! They are out of this world beautiful!! ❤️

Dear bunnycat, thank you so much! And you are right: Each corner has a different vibe. Posted some more pics in the 70‘s thread when I got the CauV in July (page 100).

All lovely. I could never decide on the best colors for me, so haven’t bought one yet.

 

[Karenska]

I just reviewed this year’s haul () and I not only added several scarves to my collection, but also several formats:
Gavroches (6)
CSGMs (2)
GTCS (1)
140 Silk Plume (1), and
Bandanas (2).
I also increased my 70s by 5, the first of which is Tigre Royal Fleuri, purchased on Jan 29 on Broad St H in NYC, and the last of which is today, Les Bassetts. I’m sorry to say I don’t know if LB is going to work out.
I also acquired another Maxi-Twilly Cut, two twillies, two plisses, two GTs, and several 90s. The awards for me will be expressed over the next couple of days. Meanwhile, here is scarf mail, Les Bassetts.

Love this venerie des princes! What a lovely color!

Thank you, the golden color is so pretty, it even has matte blanc on it - you can really see it on the dogs!

Congratulations - it’s a darling scarf! I had planned on getting this, but my better sense said no...
(now... if those were GSDs? I’d have every colorway. )
