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.

Dear fifi, your CSGMs are amazing!! Love L‘Arbre de Vie especially! This CW is absolutely fantastic on you! - Thank you also for your lovely comments! ❤

So glad you like them... Thank you so much! I adore each one... And, I am mesmerized by that Arbre de Vie... even before seeing it IRL, I knew I was going to love it and that it was going to work for me

 

[xincinsin]

Really enjoying all your scarf awards - lovey way to end/begin the year.

A very Happy and Healthy New Year to you all!

Last but not least my CSGM of the Year - PeF, and not only because it was my only CSGM bought this year (although there is that)

OMG, I'm feeling all enabled again! Thank you for that lovely pic, papertiger.
Maybe I should buy Liberty PJs! (or buy rose-tinted glasses...)

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. View attachment 4940850View attachment 4940849View attachment 4940851

Aaaahh! You did good! And, I can’t wait to see more..
Personally, I just love this Les Bassets on you... Such a great CW

 

[Living.la.vida.fifi]

Like RBH- I am a huge fan of Les Artisans d'H and am giving it the award for Best New Design for 2020 in my scarf stash, tied here in one of the knots the lovely @Yoon daily scarf showed us the other day.

I also have created a very special category. Some of you may remember that I have been through SEVERAL attempts at finding *my* Jungle Love. I started with a deep red Dip Dye a few years ago, but always had trouble tying it to see enough of the cats....so it got re-homed. Then I tried a 70cm cotton charm, and still, I couldn't really get enough of what I wanted to see in it, plus---borders...just not a fan!

Since I am not a fan of borders, and knew I was going to have to accept them or keep waiting for a format I liked (had sooooo many hopes for a Jungle Love Maxi twilly....) especially when Jungle Love Rainbow came out.

Finally, I decided none of that was going to materialize, and then JL Love also got released. So I decided twillies was going to have to be "close enough" and got not just one but both JLR and JLL twillies while they were out together earlier in the year. Right after that, I found an older pocket square for a great deal NWT. And thought..."well why not?" Surely 3 JL is now good enough!

Another bit of shortliness after that I found the 90cm JL Dip Dye (also for a great deal) and figured "well, I can at least see the cats better, and there is some color variation here, and I don't hate the purple border....plus SALES GOGGLES"

Me: Now! I am fine...I have 2 twillies, a pocket square and a 90. I know I missed out on that CSGM I SHOULD have gotten but these will be fine!

.....

.....

Due to procrastination I had missed a GREAT deal on a red/black/white CSGM, which I then found *again* some time later for also a pretty good deal and did not hit BIN fast enough that time. Foiled *again* on the CSGM front!

Me: Oh come on! You have enough JL!

Also me: No....I really don't....

Me:

And so the search continued until I located one of the old color ways I had been interested in, since the giant tattoo hadn't really called my name hard enough....


And so I present my award for Best Overreactive Scarf Purchasing with a total of 5 Jungle Loves in one year (and I would not say no to some other format should it ever come out.... )

Great post... and five Jungle Loves in one year? They are each one amazing... So, how many JL’s do you now have in total? It is such a spectacular design... And, that is a great category that has inspired me to present some awards... Hmmmm

 

[Living.la.vida.fifi]

Oh, what a fun post, Bunny! Twins with the JLL twilly and I bought my two JLs this year, too: JL Rainbow and your twilly twin. View attachment 4940881View attachment 4940882

Aaah... Both are winners! You know how fond I am of JLRainbow, especially in that CW. Love how you’ve styled them here!

Thank you! I have these 5 now. All bought in 2020 starting with the twillies. (I figured that was going to be my pacifier prize for not being able to find any other JL to suit me... ) Now I have all the formats it has been released in, I believe..... (except for that old cotton pareo with a similar pattern but slightly different cat poses....)

 

[Living.la.vida.fifi]

Thank you, Cookiefiend. I get ya on the GSDoggies. I never met a dog I didn’t like! I love dachsunds, although they aren’t my top breed (shhhh, don’t let @MaiTai hear); for that we need a big, almond-eyed, smiling Golden Retriever, but I do love the dachshund breed with their incredible intelligence, pretty little faces and great hunting instincts. And they are soooo sweet.

Our Heidi is my third dachshund as I’ve owned two others before... I love the breed as they are so smart and so darn cute! But, they can also be problematic as they can be crabby and set in their way and not too friendly to kids

[Still catching up on older posts...]

The award for Most Glittery Scarf In My Collection goes to my 2008 iridescent Ex Libris, worn here on Christmas Day with my matching enamelled Rudolph earrings.

You seem to be an endless source of winter scarves! Love this one.

My first ever post on TPF! Wearing Rainbow Faubourg 140 shawl! I have had it for one month (first purchase from Hermes shop) and I am loving it! Adds colours to my usually otherwise boring outfits.

Looks beautiful on you! Welcome.

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

View attachment 4939666

The tansu certainly seems like it's bursting at the seems with so many pretties

“One is too many, a thousand is not enough.”

Indeed!

I don't quite know where to begin this week. I can't say my habits have changed all that much. I think I did tone it down just a little this year in purchasing, but still....not enough of the letting go for me yet.

I'll start with my up and coming favorite new format for me. It is getting dangerously close to overtaking mousselines in terms of the "favorite format" factor. So this is me: ... and my wallet:


This year a favorite purchase and favorite design are combined in to one "Best All Around Purchase" with Cosmographia CSGM:

Excuse me, ma'am, are we sure that red scarf was meant for you and not for me?!!

What wonderful scarves, Fifi, and your four-legged buddies! So very sweet. I adore my La Comedie Italienne. Your cws are stunning! View attachment 4939737

Lovely -- don't think I have seen this cw before

So you didn’t own any JL’s before this year?

 

[bunnycat]

So you didn’t own any JL’s before this year?

I had 2 other tries at it but re-homed them as the colors and borders weren't working for me, and I couldn't get the cats to show on the dark red DD I had...I gave up and figured the 90 just wasn't going to be for me. Then missed and missed again on the CSGM I pondered (because I went through the same questions about color overlap with other scarves and borders)...it was a real adventure.... 3 years of adventure!

 

[AnnaE]

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.
View attachment 4939840

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.
View attachment 4939846

You have a wonderful sense of color -- all these look amazing on you.

No refund and no, I didn’t cry to them . I was having a bad day, anyway, and seeing this rumpled beauty just made me see red so I started to tear up . Because I really hate to see these beauties treated in such a manner, and I dislike having to iron a silk unless I absolutely have to. Sending back another treasure- Les Mustangs 70 in red/cranberry which I used a $50 credit on. I adore this design and it was listed as excellent - NOT. Well used, run and pulls, plus - you guessed it! - wrinkled. Staying away from this company for now and I told them that. So I will lose out on my credit.

Ughhhh that really sucks. I must have bought ~20 scarves from TRR in the past few years, and I have never had any issues. I do know it's hit or miss though...

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.

Very cool. Do you know anything about the tarot cards? I would love to learn about the ones on this scarf. I understand that they all have a meanng.

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

View attachment 4939899

Wow, that Parure is entirely jealousy-inducing. It looks beyond amazing.

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!

23 scarves -- not bad!!! The ones you are wearing really suit you -- here is to a great 2021 year, too!

 

[Living.la.vida.fifi]

ok, I was going to be quiet but I must now confess - I am also one who was captured by the red 90cm ActeIII! I ordered from h.com and was gutted to have to return it. So spectacular on those who can wear those colors, but I was forced to admit that the (unexpectedly warmish) red and peachy tones did not work with my skin tone. You just never know until you try! So happy for those with whom this scarf found a home! I ended up with the creme and soft raspberry/purple colorway which is right up my alley.

Ok... need a follow-up comment here as well... I tried on the red Acte III several times at the store after I had chosen my “purple clouds” one... I loved it on me and really wanted to add it to my collex, but there was sooo much I wanted from that season that I got sidetracked, but it’s always been on my mind... It is amazing! And, I must say that also yours, the raspberry/purple is gorgeous...

Thank you! I have these 5 now. All bought in 2020 starting with the twillies. (I figured that was going to be my pacifier prize for not being able to find any other JL to suit me... ) Now I have all the formats it has been released in, I believe..... (except for that old cotton pareo with a similar pattern but slightly different cat poses....)

I'd make Pacifier Scarf a theme, but I don't want to encourage this ... errr, do I?

Twins with you on LB......so you must keep! Just kidding....we seem to be twins on so many....
I like how you are wearing in the last pic. Very chic.
Try pairing it with something grey!
I’ve taken a quick pic of how I wore mine last week. I liked it with a grey sweater as it seemed to pull out the grays in the dogs.

How beautiful it is! Love it with the sweater.. and, that lively, jaunty hem!
