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.

I'll let you in on something interesting. I have Printemps Ete in what looks like the same cw in both gav and 70 cm. The sole difference between the two is the hem. They have different colour contrast hems!

Sounds like something I would own, let me ask - do you find gavs useful? I’ve never owned one but I do love my 70s!

hm, a year ago I would not have known about it, but I do recognise this feeling now...

Same for me Agrume! I will turn one in this thread next month I believe. What a fun year it’s been in this thread. Thanks for sharing your lovelies!

We should bulkbuy Liberty jammies
And totally off-topic but I wish to share my sorrow here: the very old and venerable department store where I bought my first Liberty scarf decades ago closed down a couple of months ago - it didn't survive the Covid-caused loss of business.

And to return to topic, this took the award for Most Unexpected Obsession 2020: the Hermes x Liberty scarves. I started the year with one, and now have around 6.

My first one:

What treasures! Congrats labelo I love your knots, so fresh. Random what cw of patchwork ? For the better part of a year I have gone back and forth with myself on the green blue cw that @scarf1 owns or the Kawa Ora in the same color family. Maybe I’ll decide in 2021 haha

Parme/Rouge/Bleu! Here's the old h.com image from 2014 I dug up as a reference when trying to confirm authenticity. I think it will be perfect with jeans.

I really like that blue/green cw that's online now! I think the Kawa Ora reads a little more light blue, and the black accents jump out at me more.
Green's a favorite of mine; the 2014 olive green cw of Patchwork Horse is currently on TRR and calling my name, but I'd already pulled the trigger on this one. I hope we see some rich greens next year!

I love this design! It looks lovely with your Fair Isle (?) sweater.

Thank you ! The designer does say it’s a Fair Isle design indeed!

I used to be only 90s when I first started. @bunnycat enabled me into buying gavs. Do I find gavs useful? Interesting question!
a) practical: I live in the tropics, so actually gavs are a good format as they are less warm because less cloth (depending on how you wear them of course)
b) pacifier: some designs are available in both 90 and gav, and I might not like the design enough to buy a 90 or I haven't found a 90 cw I like, but I think it's cute as a gav and it satisfies the craving for the design (Magic Kelly - I never did buy a 90 in the end)
c) price: gavs are cheaper - this really counts in seasons when I want too many designs and it stretches my budget
d) Versatility: I wear my gavs in pairs and like to mix and match
e) Men's collex: some of my fave gavs are the men's pocket squares

We could do a decision tree for this, but I have to admit that most of my gav purchases are visceral. OMG penguins! Buy! OMG dinosaurs! Buy! (I have no idea what the sweet male SAs at the men's dept think of me, but I hope they find me amusing

That Dumas is a special scarf, for sure. and looking forward to,seeing your Les Boxes. Congratulations on your new treasures. You do an exquisite job of picking scarves that look lovely on you.

I *just* missed out on the blue Dumas at a killer price while debating whether I should get another blue scarf, and now I'm obsessed with finding one. It looks like it will tie perfectly for showing off corners since all the horses are facing the "correct" direction.
I'm a little nervous about the Les Boxes. It's a sort of minty green, and I'm not sure whether it will suit me, but I kept going back and looking at it for weeks and decided I had to try it. If it's a miss I'll try to rehome and look for the light blue cw that's much more common and that I know will work for me, even if it's a color that I already have lots of in my collection. I love Clerc's style, it reminded me of a slightly more refined version of the illustrations in the Madeline books that I loved as a child.

This is so pretty, great choice! I think I’ll eventually succumb to the green cw as I love the hints of purple into too. My struggle is that I own the pink/mauve Kawa Ora and it ties exceptionally well. One of my most worn shawls. Gah here I go down the rabbit hole haha. Congrats again and can’t wait to see the knots on it.
