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

[LKBNOLA]

I adore La Vie du Grand Nord. What a wonderful posting for your beautiful scarf. Yes, I love birch trees, and they certainly grow Up North. Thank you, LKB.

Wow!! I love how you've folded it and managed to get the two sweet faces in there!

Thank you so much @Redbirdhermes and @Cookiefiend! When I wore it last month I think my baby granddaughter thought these faces were actual stuffed Gund toys...

Wlodek Kaminski in his Selle des Steppes depicts an antique embroidered saddle from Turkmenistan in the Steppes of Central Asia. The Hermès catalog states, “This virtuoso design by Wlodek Kaminski reproduces a saddle from late 19th-century Turkmenistan, conserved in the Émile Hermès collection. This ceremonial saddle, with its high pommel skillfully riveted with fine horn plates, features an embroidered cushion and cover. The saddlecloth, which covers the horse’s lower back during parades, features a two-headed eagle, emblem of the Russian Empire, amid a varied menagerie and an abundance of floral motifs. The two crowned heads symbolize Europe and Asia, the continents across which its vast territory was spread at the time.” The saddle inn the illustration is trimmed by a Hermè sangles strap and this iconic design is repeated on the borders.

Zoe Pauwel’s Rêve d’Australie, or Dream of Australia, is a design full of delightful decorative graphics inspired by the prehistoric rock art found in Australia’s caves in Kakadu National Park. Some of the images were created up to 20,000 years ago by the aboriginal Gagudju people of the region.

After the scarf pictures, a series of images of the paintings and carvings found inside the caves.

For Pierre d’Orient et d’Occident, or Stones from East and West, Zoe Pauwels took her inspiration from exquisite European inlay work and pietra dura which flourished in the Baroque era especially in Italy.

Following the scarf pics, some examples of marble inlay and pietra dura found on objects and furniture.

Sophie Koechlin’s L’Art Indien des Plaines, or Art of the Plains Indians takes its inspiration from the textiles, embroidery and bead work characteristic of the Native American Plains tribes, notably the Sioux, Cheyenne, Apache, Cherokee and Blackfeet tribes.

Below are some pictures of the scarf followed by a collage of some examples of the tribal art of these tribes. The picture on the upper right is from an exhibition entitled, L’Art Indien des Plaines which took place at Paris’ Musee Quay Branly in 2014

A gorgeous "Joies d'Hiver"-- you are killing me with your seasonal beauties @Karenska!

Red you inspired me to share a little of my origin story. My mom was a public servant in Trinidad. Working first for the Ministry of Health, then the Ministry of Education until she retired. For those unfamiliar, a public servant is another name for a government employee and those ministries are the British equivalent of your American departments of health or education. Trinidad was a British colony up until 1962 so most of our pillars are British modeled - system of government, education, law, main religion (Catholicism), language, and our spelling (lol) etc. Back in the day and in my childhood they all wore uniforms and I remember her mixing and matching the suit jackets and pants with multiple solid or patterned blouses or inner shells. I loved seeing the outcome and the effect of her adding a brooch or necklace for some pizazz. She started pretty young in the service as a clerk typist and stenographer - elevating to the highest grade level possible and running her own department years later. I always remember seeing those pitman shorthand books around the house and being totally unable to make sense of the hieroglyphics. I had Les Sportives on my list forever and two came up on TRR in two days and of course I ordered both being unable to choose a colorway. Shoutout to @Snausages for pinging me about it! I can’t decide which to return and the window is closing soon! I’ve included two pics of my mama in her uniforms and I raise a glass to her this night. **cheers**

Fabulous story of your wonderful mom @Foxy trini! I was so touched. Keep both as a little shrine to her amazing life and career...

Oh my! The husky and the polar bear! What a splendid way to tie to show them? @momasaurus look! I think this is one of your faves! Now I really want one too!

Oh thank you so much @essiedub! I love those sweet faces so much... They do show up on a very wide bias fold!

SOTD and art in itself. First edition dd Brides de Gala. There was a most charming reindeer ad with these dip dyes.View attachment 5276077View attachment 5276087

Beautiful @Maedi. I was not familiar with dip dyes before TPF but I now have three (one for each season ) and love love love them!

I adore this design and this cw is amazing Barbette!

Scarf twins! I love this scarf and bought it and the grey/yellow/cream colorway as well. Beautiful with the color of your sweater.

Yes @Barbette! Please mod shot your neutral one-- I saw it and almost went for multiples but the wallet was behind bars that week...

I love this CW, and how you've tied it!!!
One of my favorite scarves (I sold 3 and still have 4 CWs). Thanks for all the info!

so much! Would love to see yours someday... It's just a delight in every respect. I am happy with my "icy" colorway!

Oh @Karenska: are we twins? Here is my Joies d’Hiver…View attachment 5276228

Wow! Perfect on your sweater @momasaurus. Note to self: simply admire lovely TPF mod shots; DO NOT run out to search...

Good morning! I just adored this week's theme. I was an Art History double major in college so I was in throwback heaven! Thank you all for the incredible loveliness and thoughtful connections. I am closing out with two: My beloved Zabavushka, which was actually based on the Toy Museum and as @SusieAugusta pointed out Museums have art! This is folk art and the museum was created to preserve the craft of traditional toys made of straw and clay and textiles. It is a hands on museum where children can actually touch the pieces and take classes. You can find some fun information online-- I thought the museum's logo looked a lot like one of Evgenia Miroschnichenko's toys!

I wore it last week to a holiday event with a holiday sweater:

And today I am wearing a sister scarf to @Living.la.vida.fifi's: Selle des Steppes tied to show as much holiday color as possible, including a gold star and some glitter ball earrings!

 

[Redbirdhermes]

I am very sorry for your loss and love the meaning of this scarf. Stamps are pieces of art and it's sad that people don't collect them as much anymore.

So sorry to hear about your loss. It is a trying time and hope you can still find some Christmas joy.

Dear RBH, I am so sorry for your loss and I send you my deepest sympathy. My Dad, who passed in 1997, was an avid stamp and coin collector; I remember the interesting stamps and ancient coins he would collect. My DH also has a most interesting stamp collection. It's true that stamps are works of art in miniature. I'm sure that your father appreciated that particular scarf, and as a collector, I'll bet he was quite wowed with your stunning scarf collection.

Thank you all for your kinds words. It means so much in this difficult time.

 

[Redbirdhermes]

My scarf of the day is Dame du Coeur a Vous L’Honneur. Both @Living.la.vida.fifi and @momasaurus own this scarf. I'm wearing it today, because as moma has said, it goes so beautifully with many outfits. Thank you, Fifi, for highlighting this scarf earlier in the week.

Well, with one tie on your steppes you made me want to buy this scarf lol. Love! I have done this tie ( just did it w duo) but you got it to look so much better here. I must practice more. The colors look great on you. And your raspberry top sets off the zaba wonderfully

Besides being a role model, she was also a lovely lady .
I would keep both scarves ! Quand on aime, on ne compte pas (Money doesn't count when it comes to love. I hope my translation makes sense !)

Both are gorgeous, Foxy Trini, I think I like the black best. Please let us know what you decide.
I don’t see the photos of your mom. Such a wonderful recollection of her. I worked in NYS government for over 35 years. It was a most rewarding career.
