There must be a joke that starts off "A Scarfie walks into an H Store..." and the punchline is "and leaves with a wallet-buster she didn't know she needed". I went to the boutique at Short Hills last spring to "see" some new season arrivals. Just looking. Right? NOT on my Approved Purchase List. True. A design that I already owned in three (three!?!) gorgeous 90s. Hello? But there it was on the counter 
and then it was around my shoulders 
and before I could blink...it was in the box, the bag and on the way home. Reader, I bought it. Faubourg Tropical aka Coup de Foudre

Not sure if this is breathtaking in the traditional sense, but I love dogs, pink, and fun hems so when I saw Woof Woof online I knew I had to have it. The dogs are hidden but I know they are there! And new bangle to go with
Not on theme at all but following the death of our dear Queen and in tribute I wore my LE scarf commemorating the queen’s 90th birthday
I always find Tapis Persans to be breathtaking.
I was bowled over by this one as well - I would have gotten it if the colors worked for me! I passed on the red and blue color way because I'd already purchased Colliers et Chiens in red and blue - but I'm still tempted!
Thank you for sharing your in-depth knowledge of all the special editions fr Japan. Absolutely stunning!Japan is a very big market for luxury goods, so H will sometimes issue a cw or a special edition only for the Japanese market. Just last year, they released a special cw, very limited edition of Duo Cosmique for the Omotesando boutique and the price went through the roof in the resale marketIIRC, one of the scarfies here had the good fortune to nab one of these rarities. Well, one of my more quirky scarf acquisition preferences is to buy scarves made for the Japanese market if I find them at a reasonable price (so, NOT Duo Cosmique
unless I win the lottery).
The H boutique at Ginza has a couple of special editions associated with it. I have De Passage a Tokyo with its fascinating sketch of the city and a twilly of another design Ginza 5-4-1.

Ginza 5-4-1 is in a delightful pink which pairs well with my Alphabet and Red Berries twillies.

There is also Ginza 2001 scarf which Carre de Paris describes as issued for the opening of the building which houses H Tokyo HQ. A gav which shows the central motif of the Ginza 2001 90cm was printed as a silken invitation. The same gav without the words of the invitation is also available. Ginza 2001 is one of my grails.
This is the gav (pic from the internet because mine is somewhere deep in my errrrr... cavern

Carreve was a gift to VIP customers in Japan a couple of years back. For the rest of the world, H released an embroidered version. This is a fave because the swirling motif is a quotation from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Flora Graeca, issued for Japanese department store Seibu. I love this design and have more than one.

Grand Uniforme, issued for Japanese department store Sogo (pardon the bad photo).

Ex Libris en Kimono, Matsuzakaya edition. According to H lore, the inspiration for ExLeK came from kimono fabric in the Matsuzakaya archive collex. Matsuzakaya started off selling silk kimonos and is now a large department store selling a wide variety of goods. I hesitated to buy this as it seemed awfully bright, but it's actually very wearable.

And this is my favourite amongst the Japanese scarves: Romantique for Japanese department store Takashimaya. Strictly for sentimental reasons. The cw is very pale. I prefer strong colours. BUT

this is such a soft romantic beauty. very tempting and totally understandable why you had to have it.There must be a joke that starts off "A Scarfie walks into an H Store..." and the punchline is "and leaves with a wallet-buster she didn't know she needed".

The white hem pops so well off the bubblegum. And against the charcoal top even more so. LoVe your new bangle! Animals and architecture…doesn’t get any better!
How nice to honor her with this beauty. It’s so beautiful. H magic of colors here. Harmonious.
this emoji is all I can say to express my feelings on seeing this lol. Wow. Agree, ALL tapis are breathtaking in their beauty.
This is absolutely stunning, love it with that top!I have recently been lured over to the mousseline side of H beauty by several amongst you Who Shall Remain Nameless. I saw a beautiful post by our dear @Living.la.vida.fifi on her instagram account about Offrandes d'un Jour-- a design which already left me breathless but I was unprepared for the perfection of that particular design in this particular format. My DH thinks it is the most stunning piece in my collection and though I have not owned it very long or worn it very often, it never fails to elicit approving comments and even gasps of admiration when I do. It is so beautiful to me that I can't even bear to tie it! (and coming from a compulsive knot experimenter y'all know that is saying a lot)

Stunning scarves which leave you Breathless
I can still recall the first time I grabbed the phone and called the boutique. "Do you have Sieste au Paradis? It's the scarf with the picture of cliffs. No, I don't know the cw. It's in blue and red." The helpful SA ran with my barebones description and found it for me!

It doesn't happen all that often, but every now and then, a scarf will seize my attention and overwhelm me with desire. Sometimes, it's because of the design or the colour. Sometimes it's because of a single element in the design (ahem - bunnies...). Oftentimes it's because of the format (I'm partial to 70s and silk/cotton). Occasionally it's because a scarfie here wore it and stole my breath away!
A couple of scarves which I bought for a lark and stunned me when they arrived. Neither are grails or special editions or even hard to find. But when I opened the package, I fell in love. Their common denominator: both are jacquards.
Jouvence, which I wanted because it was one of the few designs created by Leila Menchari. The fireworks jacquard is tdf! And the peachy orange cw was surprisingly pleasant.

The other jacquard is Plumes et Grelots with a holly jacquard. I like this shade of blue, but it frequently doesn't photograph true. So I have bought scarves before which I thought were this steel blue but turned out to be quite different from what I expected. This was not only the blue I wanted, it bowled me over with the luxe silk jacquard and the delicately detailed design!

Thank you, Nomad!All so great! I really considered that cite 140. And I particularly love the brown top in pic 2.
Yay it got some time out. it’s a beauty and that is always so nice to hear with getting a compliment.
oh my that orange Tourbillons is tdf.
A classic beautiful look in black and white. Great reminder too with this tie
Wow! That africa is gorgeous! I love those colors in it!
I always love seeing your Scotland scarf. Perfect top
Gorgeous! Can’t wait to see what else comes up from you. Sieste is indeed breathless making. But your jacquard colors are amazing
@LKBNOLA i don’t know what happened to your post. That offrandes is stunning in that format. Stunning! I love hearing these stories of others making note of our scarves like etsyboss too.
Very pretty colours!
Love this bracelet, what a lucky find!
Wonderful, also the earring pairing!
Le voyage de Pytheas - the title already intrigued me. An explorer, he went off to chart a world at the borders between known and unknown. Much as a researcher does, too. So I needed this scarf, and this is the 5th colourway I wore today (2 rehomed, so I am at 3 at the moment), appropriately on a day I had an academic function.
Insane heat wave in SoCal the last couple weeks means this is the first scarf of the new school year for me! Eleftheria 01 tied to minimize the lettering; the details on this scarf are incredible, one might even say breathtaking!
Sometimes the journey from seeing scarf to clicking on scarf to purchasing scarf is near instantaneous. This scarf had that “wow” factor for me. Shown with some late summer flowers I didn’t deadhead because the goldfinches are eating the seeds
Sheer beauty! Congratulations, fortunate @LKBNOLA!I have recently been lured over to the mousseline side of H beauty by several amongst you Who Shall Remain Nameless.
