I have been waiting not so patiently for this week to come. Have you ever seen a design where you couldn’t decide which colour to buy? Or one design that got away? Or perhaps a scarf that spoke to you in some other way?

Seduced by silk: Multiples.

I may have been sided tracked once or twice ;)by a design that pulls me in. My first foray into H scarves ended in purchasing multiples of that design. Have you ever been drawn into a design that you “needed”:giggle:more than one? What compels you to buy more than one of the same design? Is there a design you wished you had bought more than one of? Some say there is no other scarves that feel like H scarves or maybe it is the designs or maybe the colours. Forgive my rambling, for me it is the design. Some just grab me and I am in:love: Thank you all for indulging me in one of my weaknesses when it comes to H: Multiples.


Here is a statistical:smartass:breakdown of my collection:
Exactly 60% of my 90’s collection is a multiple.
46.3% of my 140’s collection is multiple. This includes giant silks, mousseline and CSGM
As you can see by the data before you:PI am a little bit fond of multiples:amuse:


This week is going to be filled with scarf eye candy! Fellow scarifies be prepared, rest your eyes...btw did you know that green can be a soothing colour for the eye? Diamond graders usually have a green wall to relax their eyes on. So rest your eyes upon this lush greenery and enjoy this coming week!! :flowers:

P.S. I will of course be back soon to share some of my multiples!:flowers:

P.P.S. Many thanks to @bunnycat for hosting a fabulous week!!:flowers:

Lovely intro.

wow! So many multiples! Beautiful Foxy Trini and bunnycat!

I have very few multiples. In fact only one both 90s and two 90s/CSGM. It appears to be a hang up I have for no good reason. I’ll share them now because in two days time I’m off to………..Paris! :yahoo:

Sorry for the messed-up quotes, everyone! If I am not losing quotes, I am apparently doubling up and somehow muddling up the format...
I have been eyeing this week with a bit of trepidation because until recently I had few multiples and the ones I had were sort of accidental (an "inherited" or gift of a scarf that was a duplicate of one I had). I guess right there is a distinction: duplicate versus multiple. My first actually chosen "multiple" was Parures des Samurois, the scarf that started my road to H Perdition. Since then I have consciously added multiples because (a) I adore the design and "need" another or (b) I bought a cw before I became a collector and have since decided I prefer something else but have not yet parted with the first (this is my Colorway Correction Program CCP). Some of these multiples are in a re-home pile but occasionally are given another chance to audition for a leading role. Sometimes, I buy a multiple because the scarf is an "outfit-maker" and I want to have another cw for a different seasonal look or day/evening etc. So that is my story so far and I am sticking to it! Here is a recent multiple from last season. I traded my blue Selle des Steppes for red/black/blue cw which is much more casual than the black/white/gold one. I wear both quite a bit. (Last tie is @blydia's amazing "rando knot").

I just love your CCP concept- I’ve mentioned this to DH and mean to implement it...
Great looks of SdS (what a border)- you’ve really nailed the Rando knot :heart:
 
It seems to me that when you get a new design it signals to the universe (& internet) to put more in your path.

Exhibit A is Bolduc:
524D1ED1-9CE6-4C6C-941C-817F7A67585B.jpegLeft is older reissue, Right is newer reissue- originally purchased to frame. I enjoy having examples of odd copyrights, etc. and the oldie falls in that category. It presented itself shortly after first and I couldn’t resist having both to compare/contrast.

They are very different in color & hand (the older soul has had numerous washings and is buttery soft).

“Newer” has bolder H box color and more body.

Interesting! And SO pretty.

The scarf is stunning on you Cookiefiend. I think the right name is Millefleurs du Mexique. There was one in sea green and I was really torn.

I think of that design as a 70. Is that right?

You do such a nice job wearing white blouses with scarves. It's a great look for you.
 
@Julide this is a scary week for me. I will come back now and share because this upcoming week will be crazy and I won't be around much (story of my life) but I want to be brave about it. I need to confront my multiples obsession head on, perhaps this will encourage me to part with some of the doubles/triples/quadruples I own. Thanks for hosting! & thank you @bunnycat for a beautiful leaping week last week!
Thanks for sharing foxy!:flowers:We all have parameters for our collections and I’m sure you will find yours too! You have a wonderful collection, I can see why you had multiples of many designs.:flowers:
 
Thank you Croisette!



You are very welcome! And here's another I didn't think of! :tup: Great thinking!


Thank you MAGJES!



Thank you Cookie!



I love the turquoise and blue together!


That pink with green- yes please!!! :love:


Beautiful, compact tie on this! :tup:




Thank you for starting us out Julide! I can't wait to see your multiples! (And yes- that green is very magical and restful!)
Thank you Bunnycat!!:flowers:

Looking forward to the other multiples this week.
@Julide what about cross format multiples? Such as the 90 and the 140cm versions?
You have a wonderful collection that compliments you so well. I can’t see how you could let any of them go:flowers:
 
I have several for this week, and they are all 2 word Titles...Is there something psychological there going on???

We'll start with my true love in the cat scarves subset. It was love at first sight for the first colorway I saw so I bought it as soon s I saw it, but then could NOT get the purple colorway out of my head. For EIGHT months...couldn't get it out of my head. Couldn't bring myself to sell the first and get the other, so I called to a boutique to find one (only time I have gone through the trouble of ordering from a boutique over the phone) and still (happily) have 2 (and still search for a larger format that would suit my coloring...)

Jaguar Quetzal. Caramel/Rose colorway. This was the first one I got.

But then the purple one nagged me endlessly....The purple scarves were fantastic that season. Here with the same top because I was trying to decide which one to wear that day.. :lol:

And the purple on in a cowboy Bova knot.
