Scarves Scarf of the Day 2021 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[Cordeliere]

ok so I don’t own any duplicates but that doesn’t mean i never bought them. in fact, this is my walk of shame. i ended up rehoming all of them because of something that bothered me in each. I am pretty ruthless about keeping my collex to only scarvea that I love every time I wear them and with these i had to tie them a certain way or they just didn’t make me feel as good as i thought.. here goes - the first is the keeper the other ones are gone

cosmo (again always first pic is the one i kept)- the brown in this scarf clashed with my wardrobe and complexion. also didn’t love the smoke corner. I adore the blue green tho

variations of the jungle. too high contrast, and I just don’t wear pure grey as much for the twillyView attachment 5226451
acte III - the csgm rehome may come as a surprise but I kept reaching for it because I felt like I should love it. i only loved one corner. wore it 25 times.View attachment 5226452
plumes. the colors were a tad bright and sweet, plus it competed with my phoenix for wear.View attachment 5226453
kawa - the green and that one pale blue spot kept bothering meView attachment 5226454
not my colorsView attachment 5226455
rhis scarf i tried multiple times. both rehoused or in the process of doing soView attachment 5226456

Loved your post. I am the same about being a ruthless rehomer. If there is a color in the scarf that bothers me, I just won't wear it. Some have been grails, and when I get them, I discover the hiding yuck color. Sometimes, all the pics that are posted posted minimize the problem spots through creative tying. Sometimes the yuck color doesn't look yucky when you see flat pics. Then there is the it looks fine on the counter, but looks yuck on me. @momasaurus said "you don't really know how something is going to work until you live with it." Truer words were never spoken. But just because you lived with it, doesn't mean it is a life time commitment. Here is to setting them free to find their rightful owner.

Today I’m wearing Couvertures et Tenues du Jour by Jacques Eudel in the giant silk format.


I also bought two twillies in this design, one for myself and one for my daughter.

I try not to buy different colors of the same scarf. Instead, I painstakingly pick the color that (in my opinion) best showcases the design, and best compliments my complexion. If a scarf doesn’t meet both criteria, I usually sacrifice the latter in favor of the former. For example, this scarf also came in a gorgeous soft pink colorway that was perfect for me, however, all the horses and their attire were in shades of pink. The lack of contrast and color variety in a design that’s all about the colorful outfits of the horses made me gravitate towards this purple one which truly brings out the different outfits, although the color is a bit too strong for me. I keep saying in the future I will choose whatever looks best on me, but I keep choosing what is best for the design.

What draws me to a scarf is always the design. I am in love with the older designs. My scarf collection is made up almost entirely of reissues of older designs that came out in the last 8-9 years. At the beginning of each season, I examine the reissued scarves, and if they are aesthetically pleasing to me, and if the story behind them is interesting, then I determine the color I am going to buy. In the past I have fallen for a scarf while browsing in the store, bought it and brought it home, only to return it the next day after reading about a sad element in its story.

I’m attracted to every one of Henri d’Origny’s designs, and in general, to scarves by French designers. I feel like the French are simply masterful in their story-telling through artistry. As regards themes, I would say the themes I love are the ones that have in common that old-world Hermes charm.

I really enjoy reading all of your stories, and wish I had more time to write comments. It would be so practical if there was a comment box for each post directly under the like button. The current system requires a lot of going back and forth, and one simply gives up when things are busy. A more user-friendly update would encourage greater participation.

SOTD was Dans un Jardin Anglais. I kept looking for one, found the red cw for a very good price and shortly thereafter the blue one which I was really looking for (and then the corresponding bracelet popped up).

No CCP for those ones...

Wow - that blue! Perhaps the scarf (and cw) that is highest up on my wishlist! It is such a stunning piece!

 

[Naessi]

Some of my multiples. I couldn't add more photos in this post, so I will add them in another one (and also have to photograph some that I didn't have archive photos of).

Grande Tenue - Henri d'Origny



Napoleon - LeDoux. My first multiple and perhaps two that are a bit too similar... But they make for a cool "scarf" when wearing them together



Pavois - LeDoux



Space Shopping - Dimitri Rybaltchenko. Just love this design! Might add the black/white/orange in 90 as well




Les Bassets - Xavier Poret. I really struggled to find this one so when the pink was available in the store I had to get that one. A few months later they also had the blue one, which was the cw I really wanted so I had to get that one too.

The two Napoleon's together!!So amazing how they compliment each other!

I’ve had several colorways of Texas Wildlife but to keep the scarf drawer from becoming a scarf house I’ve culled down to only two.
When @turfnsurf posted different knots to highlight different parts of scarves, I played around to highlight a corner.
View attachment 5226696
And I was chuckling because a friend taught me I can wear scarves as subliminal messages. So this corner is for when I am spending time with those I wish to turn my behind to. I particularly like the sneer on the ram’s face as it makes aggressive eye contact

So funny! I wonder if we have a subliminal message week

Beautiful croissette!!!

One Appaloosa, two appaloosas... I went from none to two but only one will stay. The scarf is so fun and dramatic to wear and I wrestle with which to keep. I do love Alice Shirley but she is already extremely well represented in my collex and I don't feel enough Appaloosa love to double up...

I am interested in what you decide to keep

This looks amazing on you! Your scarf criteria is very impressive to read, thank you for sharing it.

I also wanted to love that red FoSA but wasn't ever sure about it.

Actual SotD is Carre Kantha shawl, one of my most worn scarves. Unfortunately, I don't think my CSGMs will get as much use now that we've moved to LA, but it's a rare damp and cool morning, so I took the chance to pull one out!
Not a duplicate, but I would happily pick up this one in a 90 if the right cw came along at the right price.

Which color would you pick? There was many fabulous CW's in this design

Fantastic!
I used to use a free app called GlamOutfit & one OS update it was no longer supported for iPhone; I was distraught! I had spent SO MUCH time photographing/ uploading/ removing backgrounds & inputting details (price, size, category, etc.) of my sizable wardrobe -including scarves- and had lost it all. I’m finally to a place to begin again & was thinking about StyleBook just the other day...your post will be so helpful!

Here’s my SOTD, Presentation, to be on topic:View attachment 5226694

Thank you
As you’re the Queen of color ways I’m happy to share a ‘new’ one.

There are so many great cw’s of this, but I ‘had to have’ one with dun-colored center horses. Green & tan is such a classic equestrian combo that when I spied this it was kismet.
Here it is flat...

Looks wonderful on you TnS!

 

[Julide]

Wonderful photos! I am also happy to hear how your collections are formed and culled, nothing like understanding how a curated scarf collection is done from many collectors points of view

On to my next multiple. I do love this design and when it came out I was all aflutterSadly I missed Dans un Jardin Anglais as I was busy on the hunt for this. Tapis Persan, wonderful elements of Persian carpets and drawings. I have a couple of framed book pages that remind me of this design every time I see them. Many apologies for my poor staging skills, I forgot to take the tea cloth off that I store them in

“What draws me to a scarf is always the design. I am in love with the older designs.”
I’m in total agreement with you on this
tho’ I’m guilty of buying multiples in different colors... if a design/contrast works with my style I want multiple options!
