Scarves Scarf of the Day 2022 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[xincinsin]

During 2022 I acquired 7 marble silks of various shapes, sizes, and materials. The Kyoto Marble Silk Muffler and the Marble Ex-Libris Scarf in a cashmere/silk blend were from prior seasons, and were acquired on the secondary market.

Then came the bee jacquard series of marble silks during the summer. Here are the Marble Silk Fringed Muffler and the Marble Silk Brides de Gala 90. There were also a Twilly and a Doll Twilly in the series.

Finally, this fall came the Marble Silk Fouets et Badines. This is my scarf of the day, tied with the Marble Silk Doll Twilly.

Such a eyewatering array of beauty! I am bowled over! The marble silks are rarely found in my neck of woods. I have only one and shall be content with living vicariously through you

 

[Snausages]

Thank you dear Karenska!


Y'all are really getting me attracted to this with the bee border.... so STAAAAHHHPPP EEEETTTT!


All of these are spectacular- esp love the GPduF MTS.



You are the marble silk queen! I love the 90cm cashmere one. So pretty.


WOW! What a find on that Poret moussie!


The beautiful turquoise and coral balance out the brown here very well.


Oh scarf sista, you and I are currently doing the same H math in our heads regarding 2023.... Beautiful pics and sweet pups.


These are absolutely magnificent giant silk additions!b I really love the way On a Summers Day ties and the Siesta is out of this world!

TY @bunnycat ! I was hoping today’s mail would come Monday but it appears that I’ve yet another new-in… a Pique Fleuri gav

Well, today's scarf I am going with @Snausages rule of thumb. The CC has not hit yet, and while I have already "paid in full" imma still count this Cheval Vague towards 2023. Because the 2022 totals were.... I'll be discussing this in painful detail next week, in fact.

View attachment 5680595

Here are the highlights of my favorite 2022 scarves. Most were purchases and some were gifts, but I am going to confess right now that this is only about 1/2 of the total count. I didn't include Finn's memorial scarf, because that was out of the normal bounds of scarf buying and there were a couple of "bargains" not in here plus it was just getting too much trying to locate it all. Since we did all the house work, I am having trouble with scarf "storage" ideas, and things are split out in to 3 different areas (and it is not working well for me but I can't think of anything else right now...) I forgot to put Lazy Leopardesses in here too, but I wore it yesterday.

View attachment 5680596

I love the vague horse but that’s next year’s batch. This year’s additions are fab!

A perfect scarf beauty for you and look at all the love from your sweet cockers. Adorable.

TY @Maedi - all three make me so happy!

 

[Living.la.vida.fifi]

Thanks for reminding me on how gorgeous the colors are on your Cheval Phoenix. Wow wow wow. This is SOooo on my hunt list
Wonderful additions, all of them

Thank you so much!

Hi all, thank you for all your kind words. Been pretty busy so haven’t had a chance to read and respond to everything, but here a Costume de Fête cw 03

Spectacular! What an incredible collection of what’s probably my fav scarf of the new season

You are in multiples of four today! Four tries to get your perfect Patisserie and four CS 70s so cleverly arranged! And I fell hard for this pink one, too @Redbirdhermes-- I am up to three-- thinking orange for summer/fall, lime hem for winter and the lovely rose for spring...Justifications, justifications-- as if such beauty really needed any reason!

@Nomad! Thank you so much-- I just found this pink La Femme two weeks ago on The Real Real-- just hanging out in excellent condition for less than retail. So they are out there! Of course my Holy Grail is the black... along with the whole world. This pale pink is truly lovely. I feel very fortunate to have such an iconic design. I truly endorse the khaki Leopardess cw-- I have the vert noir as well but the khaki is quite different and I agree with @Lellabelle (I think it was) who said it flatters everyone...

Thank you @Snausages



This is simply an amazing collecting achievement for anyone in a lifetime let alone one year @Snausages. And I always adore and learn from your pairings and knots...

I think I remember you looking-- I am so happy you found one and hope to see it soon @EtsyBoss! Monkeys, monkeys, monkeys!

Al lovely but your coral Orphee outfit is perfect from head to toe @Cookiefiend. Enjoy your time with the Sweet Pea!

It is really beautiful and what an amazing image of you buying three scarves in a whirlwind of bidding! This is a scarf that has always intrigued me-- this cw looks very lustrous and lovely on you @Nomad and perfect for the holidays... Bonus!

Thank you @bunnycat!

This is such a very lovely pink and the beautiful florals are perfect tied up like that. Really perfect for you @Maedi!

Thank you so much @Living.la.vida.fifi -- It is nice to be with family, as you say. Everyone has been under the weather so we are finally able to get together just in time for 2023! I am thrilled to be your twin on Sichuan-- I know exactly what you mean-- I cannot bear to even tie it-- I just drape it and stare down in astonishment...

It is truly an extraordinary silk and you wear it well

Well in one post you have highlighted two deeply desired grails of mine: the lilac Samurais and the Cheval Phoenix-- both gorgeous and I congratulate you on such a wonderful achievement adding these to your already amazing collection. Gorgeous post @Living.la.vida.fifi!

I am thrilled with all of these..: Thank you so very much!

Cotton is so easy to wear, and I love that is so practical for, say, chasing after puppies.



A lovely collection ❤️



Happens to all of us!! And congrats!



That’s so delicate, I love it.



The Cheval Phoenic worked out even better than I thought… wow. stunning



I know someone who has a green chorus, and it looks amazing on them. I have a blue one, and I think I have never worn it. Maybe I should have worn a blue one.

Thank you so much!

This one, L'arbre de vie, is not new to my collection in the strictest sense but it has just come back from the Hermes workshops with a plump edge. It's as good as new! (But the scarf ring is new)View attachment 5680095

It is amazing and perfect with the lovely scarf ring

My love affair with the double face scarves began with C'est la Fete and continued with Pani le Shar, Clair de Lune, Wow, La Danse de Chevaux... Well, this year my double face love doubled and I acquired two each in the SS and AW 2022 seasons. Later I even added two more: Folies du Ciel and Hermes Factory. Even when they do not have what @Maedi calls "two equally convincing sides" I love them for the ease of tying, the drape and the subtle variations in design on each side. And sometimes, you really do get two for one -- as with Clair de Lune and this past season's Sous les Charmes d'Orphee. I already have my eye on Jardin de Peintres next season!

Not only are they stunning but sooo beautifully styled!

These are all so beautiful and very special for different reasons, Cookie, and tied in your signature stunning knot, but I must swoooon at your marble BdG. Oh my! What a special souvenir de Paris.



Coco and Fifi, your SDs are all just amazing. I think SD is so beautiful in any format, the giant silk, the wash. For me, I am on the hunt for the oblong mousseline stole in marine/ tan.

Thanks so much!

I love this cw, Coco, and tried it first but, dear sister, this one beckoned, so consider this cw, if you are adding multiples:
View attachment 5680132
I love the sweet bees, too, and all the attic-like treasures.

I love this CW… probably one of the most dramatic and goes so well with black! Love it with the black jacket and pin!

PF is very pretty! And despite all the CS multiple owners, RBH, I think you are our queen. The soft pink is divine . Beautiful choices and I am so happy you managed to acquire the green. My search was almost futile, then a tip from a dear friend here, and on its way from the Greenwich CT boutique it was. I could see myself with the luscious pink…
View attachment 5680142

Oh, so pretty worn with the creamy blouse and pink scarf ring! Perfection…

That blue CdO is magnificent, Fifi! And your Cheval Phoenix is TDF. Beautiful choices.

Thank you so much!

A few sought-after treasures, all acquired in 2022. The first of the year, acquired from a wonderful member of this great community, Les Normands in a truly delightful cw.

Ohmigosh breathtaking! What an incredible collection!

For my last of the year - the two grails.
First - Au Contra Courant - I searched for this for several years and it was worth the wait. It’s beautiful.
View attachment 5680396
The second is a scarf I’ve been on the look out since the beginning. It was (and still is) the sort of search that you know is pretty much hopeless, yet you still search. I have very few rules - but one is that it won’t pay over current retail. I figure if I’m paying over that I might as well buy something from H anyway, and lord knows there’s plenty of temptation there and I don’t have to worry about authenticity.
Well - I fell over my first Poret. It was under current retail, and it’s a moussie.

L’Art du Sarasa
View attachment 5680392

Amazing moussies! And, you were my muse on that Sarasa… always so lovely

The last of my three 10 minute bidding frenzy this month , coupons indiens. I have officially decided I can’t buy scarves with brown. I just don’t like brown plain and simple. It is just a weird personal thing for me. So question is, do I break my rule of not keeping a scarf if there is anything I don’t like in a scarf and have to be creative to hide in a tie? My brown coat was a gift haha. And I sadly had nothing in my winter wardrobe to go with coupons, so neutral blue top was it for running out for errands. I need to stop adding scarves and add wardrobe pieces haha.
View attachment 5680407
I went out like this, and switched to this due to too hot. Happier.

View attachment 5680408

This is such a spectacular design and I happen to love this CW and feel it looks wonderful on you… I also was able to add this amazing design to my collection this year

Thank you for the lovely compliments @Croisette7 , @Coco2606 , @Lellabelle, @Nomad @bunnycat @Living.la.vida.fifi @AnnaE @LKBNOLA @Karenska


@Nomad game theory in action! They are all wonderful additions!




@Cookiefiend another fabulous parade of beauties! Every time you model the Sarasa I wish I’d tried it


I want to live in your scarf drawer @Living.la.vida.fifi And no matter the size, material, or color you wear them all beautifully

This is a great scarf @Maedi and I love all the different looks it creates

This is pure magic @AnnaE and the pearls are <chef’s kiss>


My love affair with the double face scarves began with C'est la Fete and continued with Pani le Shar, Clair de Lune, Wow, La Danse de Chevaux...

@LKBNOLA these are all fantastic scarves and excellent outfits. That Passades screams ‘Spring!’ which we are enjoying in Texas where it’s in the 70s






Wowzers! @Karenska you are another who can do any size/material/color! That bright green works so well on you and that’s a perfect ring for CS! Love the maxi twilly and I always keep my eyes open for it

You are the Marble Queen @Redbirdhermes and I love how you use the doll twilly as a scarf ring!

Thank you so very much!

I’m officially horrified with the number of additions this year, and I thought SS23 would give me a break but I just came back from the boutique and I’m in trouble But since it’s the new season and my credit card bill won’t arrive for 2 weeks, I’m counting it toward next year’s number.

Instead I shall share 3 additions: one is a scarf that features a flying flappy eared cocker spaniel and 2 are actual flappy eared cockers!

Best post ever! When scarf aligns perfectly with life!

I am going to request your indulgence for a second post today. Otherwise I can't fit in my whole "highlight reel"!?! I took a bit of a break from my beloved 90 silk twill (my first and forever love) to explore the larger silk sisters. I added four to my stash this year. Two were grails and two were just very lucky and happy finds (one mislabeled as a 90 and priced accordingly!). Hat tip and to @Julide for her help on my first 140 grail, Tapis Persans. And of course our wonderful @Living.la.vida.fifi and @Coco2606 just showed the amazing Savana Dance 140s in their collections. In order, Tapis Persans, On a Summer's Day, Harnais de Coeur en Patch and Sieste au Paradis:

[Living.la.vida.fifi]

First up, my first scarf of 2022, which happened to be my Valentine’s Day gift: the lovely Promenades de Paris


And, this year I finally found a coveted design: Coupons Indiens


And, continuing with my penchant for multiples, I acquired two amazing designs in pairs this year…
After many years searching for the perfect CW for me, I finally found the bright yellow Cuvee d’Hermès, which made its happy debut on Easter Sunday


And, later in the year, the white CW came my way and I couldn’t resist


Another masterful design that I acquired in two CWs this year was Le Laboratoire du Temps




And, now my actual SOTD, which I already posted this week as it was a 2022 acquisition: Parures Precieuses giant silk which I wore this evening to the marvelous Salute to Vienna New Year’s concert

Oh cookie so exciting to have a long hunt concluded! that is amazing in a moussie. I wish I could be as disciplined as you on never paying over current retail.

But how I got my zabavushka, pytheas, Samourais, sieste, kimonos. But H math balances out with so many for less than retail…right?!?!

It is just a weird personal thing for me. So question is, do I break my rule of not keeping a scarf if there is anything I don’t like in a scarf and have to be creative to hide in a tie? My brown coat was a gift haha. And I sadly had nothing in my winter wardrobe to go with coupons, so neutral blue top was it for running out for errands. I need to stop adding scarves and add wardrobe pieces haha.

I went out like this, and switched to this due to too hot. Happier.

I think this looks great on you, @Nomad ! tied like this, the brown is just a hint of contrast and actually helps anchor that beautiful sky blue.

I’m officially horrified with the number of additions this year, and I thought SS23 would give me a break but I just came back from the boutique and I’m in trouble But since it’s the new season and my credit card bill won’t arrive for 2 weeks, I’m counting it toward next year’s number.

Instead I shall share 3 additions: one is a scarf that features a flying flappy eared cocker spaniel and 2 are actual flappy eared cockers!
