It wasn’t on purpose - I’d left a job, spent my days in T-shirt’s and track pants doing yardwork, and lost 90 pounds which made necklaces exciting to wear again. Thought I’d sell my collex, came here to see what was ‘hot’, saw Animapolis and the rest as they say is history :happydance:

Awooo I think was the only purchase I made in that period, so to stay on theme…View attachment 5624801View attachment 5624800View attachment 5624799
Beautiful scarves and such accomplishments.

This week is about resistance :bagslap: and capitulation :whiteflag:
Which is also the story of this design: a complete comedy of lust, indecision and FOMO.

When H first released Clair de Lune, I love love loved the design ... BUT ... yes, there was a but. I find 140 silks very difficult to use. Too much silk for me and I get swamped. And it was round - would I look like I'm wearing a tablecloth? My SA showed it to me and I sighed over it but reluctantly decided not to buy it because it was a lot of money to spend on a scarf that I would likely never wear. My SA agreed and swept it away (the hot pink cw, I recall).

Then Clair de Lune was released as a double-sided 90. Oh yes! But it was during the pandemic and there was a run on the scarves here. Gone were the days I could hem and haw over various cws. My SA made an executive decision and reserved a cw for me. There was zero choice because all the pieces of Clair de Lune were reserved.

The round version still haunted my mind because every now and then, a scarfie here would post a modshot that made me second-guess my decision. On Monday, I was browsing a local resellers inventory because I was considering selling to them. And lo and behold, they had the round scarf, like new, for half the retail price. I bought it and picked it up the next day. Because at half-price, yes, I can afford to try it out.

This is me swamped in silk :faint:

This is me with a very very controlled Clair de Lune. :lol: I need to find something in-between.

Thank you to everyone for the likes and loves on my "Jungle Chickens"! A few days away from y'all is like entering quote eternity...never ending pics of swoonable loveliness. Going to try to not miss any photos and have read, chuckled and nodded along with comments as I caught up...
Multiples week, hmmmm....

I have a rule not to buy multiple CW of the same scarf (multiple formats are OK though... on occasion). The one time I ever broke that rule was with the mens 100 Hermes Galaxy. I was searching for the grey with fuschia hem for a long time, and could only find the red one, which I eventually got because it was bright and fun and looked great. I continued looking for a nice scarf with fuschia (love wearing that color) for a long time, bought and returned quite a few different ones... and lo and behold the grey Galaxy suddenly popped up online again. Couldn't resist and I'm so happy with that purchase - it's one of my favorite scarves to wear and so versatile! I just love the contrast between the subdued grey and that bright pop of fuschia.

Twins on the first @ajaxbreaker! I think you were among the enablers-- I glimpsed it out of the corner of my eye as I was leaving the Short Hills boutique last spying and they had exactly one fresh one left in store. Now it is mine all mine.... :graucho: I love you grey one also. Perfectly styled.
A bit late for last weeks Blue theme, SOTD is Legende Moghole triangle. I only have one triangle, I thought the reduced amount of fabric would make it easier to wear but I don’t reach for it as often as I thought I would.

View attachment 5623018
The most beautiful colors on this blue cw of LM @paula24jen -- how did they carve up the elephant outline for the triangle I wonder? Could we see it flat?
Le Carnaval de Venise is definitely a favorite of mine. The design has so many happy colorways, and I love the costumes and masks.

View attachment 5623100View attachment 5623101View attachment 5623102

I currently have three colorways and I am so tempted to get more.

Le Carnaval de Venise is my scarf of the day.

These are gorgeous, @Redbirdhermes. I particularly love the first-- never have seen that green in natural light...
Like many of us, I started with the “Only One” rule. Which changed to “Only One in That Size, a Different Size Is Okay”… to “Oh What the Heck..”

Both are beautiful-- transformed by the colors which is why multiples make sense amirite @Cookiefiend?
To add a bit of summer to this autumn week, let me highlight another multiple in my collection: Sea, Surf'n'Fun in 2 formats.

I bought the twilly because I love bright yellow accessories.

View attachment 5623554

The twilly made me fall in love with the exuberance of this design. I looked in vain for a 90 on resale sites for years, even though I don't like that format very much. Perhaps fortunately, I never found one. Then last year, lo and behold, they had a gavroche at the Hermes sale. Pastel pink is not a color I wear EVER, so I went back and forth to the gavroche stand quite a few times before finally grabbing it. I love the mix of red/blue/green (it somehow even works with the pastel pink!!) and the summery insouciance of those surfboards. One of my favorite scarves in my collection :heart:

A marvelous pop of colors for you-- this happy little gav is absolutely charming and perfect with your lovely hair or on your neck @ajaxbreaker! Lucky find, too.
A group of giraffes (I learned this week while reading a fun book to my grand-little) is called a "tower"-- the perfect collective noun for your stunning beauties @MAGJES-- and I adore Kantha too- I am twins on the pink 90-- a fun and pretty scarf...

Welcome, @greycity! I love your scarf (on my wish list actually) and hope to see a lot more of you on the thread!
I adore my Appaloosas. I have two 90s and one 45. I love the colors that I found. I find this to be a versatile design.

Here are the 90s.

A lovely and colorful herd @Redbirdhermes! I remember when you helped me decide between cws for mine...
What a fun week! I have more multiples than I thought (mostly Alice Shirley!)
At one point I owned two Les Artisans, though I returned the red:

Wonderful @labelo and congratulations on adding the little zebra to your dazzle (:giggle: )
Since I was young, I’ve had a habit of buying multiples of clothes that made me happy. I have not outgrown this practice.

Alice Shirley is my fave designer. I have multiples of Arrrgh and Awooo but I also have multiples of

Oh, my @Snausages. This collection of Shirley designs is spectacular... and beautifully knotted and styled.
My first Toits was, I have to admit now, a placeholder. I wanted a Toits and I wasn't picky about colour. This light blue cw was "H cheap" because it was flawed.
View attachment 5624051
And for a long time, I was happy. Then I came across the grail dark blue cw at a reasonable price and hit BIN. It is a sentimental scarf now. I became online friends with the seller in NY. She was a jewel who whittled my crazy grail list down by half and she wanted her son to meet up with me when he was planning a trip to Singapore. We lost touch during the pandemic. If I never find her again, this scarf will always remind me of my wonderful sister in silk Dede Kaufman.
View attachment 5624053
Le sigh @xincinsin ... that is all.
When I saw Alice Shirley's Three Graces 90 I knew I had to have it. The design is just gorgeous! But it also reminded me of a most memorable and glorious, mind blowing moment on safari that my family got to have breakfast with 3 giraffes - no fences, just us and this wild magnificent tower of graces. Two of them fought a bit, entwining necks and trying to head butt each other's back. It makes quite a racket! I love how The Three Graces design captures that fascinating aspect of giraffe behavior. Later when the design came out as a 140, I had to have it too but couldn't settle on a colorway and so never pulled the trigger. Earlier this year I was in luck - one cropped up on the website and I knew I needed it as it was "probably the last Alice Shirley design ever." I'm so glad I was wrong! And also that one magically appeared on H.com in an agreeable colorway.

A magical scarf association @EtsyBoss-- of course you had to have this in your collection! Beautiful photos of a memorable moment.
I have too many multiples in my opinion :cray: .
Here is my crossover multiple from blue week. Only one sits in my “blue drawer” haha. The one I am wearing today. And the other two are actually in my “pink drawer”. The pink is the standout in both.
sotd
View attachment 5624116
I will say that while I absolutely love this cw ( it was my first!) I have found it hard to wear for some ungodly reason. I can be very linear in my wardrobe thoughts. But since paying attention more to my summer colors and understanding color better in that process, I see I can wear many more closet items than I thought. And the big revelation, even if my clothes are not same color family as in the scarf, a similar tone in MANY other colors will still do nicely.

The SE is TDF @Nomad but I am twins on the first and I adore the moody blue color and the hem. I mostly wear it with neutrals so maybe that is why I haven't experienced it as difficult to wear. The lazy scarf lover's color pairing approach! Navy or cream...
Tuesday’s a triple, but in different formats… I really did try to behave but :shrugs:
Astrologie Sunrise is my SOTD

Wow! A trifecta @Cookiefiend! Beautiful and so dramatic in the large format.
Grand Théâtre Nouveau in two formats, twilly and 90 carre. I think the twilly’s “a-side” focus on the characters rather than the patterns or architectural elements was a primary reason I picked it up.

Such a lovely 90 in that season @de vent and I for one found it so hard to settle on a cw. Love this blue with the yellow hem and I think the twilly was just perfectly done. Still want to add one myself and I am not even all that much of a twilly person!
One cw came to the park with me today and the other two stayed home! Don’t feel bad for them, they’ll get their chance - I love to wear all three cws :smile:

My Parures De Samourais Shawl Multiples​

Oh @Julide, your multiples mod shots are just works of art in themselves. I would totally buy a giclee print of this...Amazing.
I'm not wearing much in the way of make up, as Pickles came to sit next to me before I got that done, but this gave me an opportunity for a promised "mommy & me" with double Tigre Royal. This one is kind of an honorary double since it is on Carre en Carre (but that counts!) He's got TR's eyes. :love:

View attachment 5624414


I have a third TR too in the 70cm.

View attachment 5624419
Sweet photo! Who cares about makeup when you have cat snuggles? I too have Tigre in different formats @bunnycat. These are marvelous...
Nippy weather is here. I changed into a fleece top for my chilly night activities. So I decided to throw a different multiple in my hair. My second most of any design is Bibliotheque. Samourais is my first place winner in multiples.

scarf this evening. Sadly first time wearing of it :-0. I got it for summer fun w these fun colors. Little did I know that I would RARELY wear a scarf in summer heat. Even a gav is too much.

My very first Hermès scarf was this vintage Equateur that I ordered from a reseller in France at the start of the pandemic.

View attachment 5624457

When the Equateur wash scarves appeared for a while on h.com, I picked up this azure blue version. I love the soft silk.

My scarf of the day is this blue wash Equateur.

It wasn’t on purpose - I’d left a job, spent my days in T-shirt’s and track pants doing yardwork, and lost 90 pounds which made necklaces exciting to wear again. Thought I’d sell my collex, came here to see what was ‘hot’, saw Animapolis and the rest as they say is history :happydance:

Another multiple in my collection, in two formats that couldn't be more different:

Faubourg Rainbow CSGM:

Aaaand Faubourg Rainbow twilly :biggrin:

View attachment 5624925
Beautiful both @ajaxbreaker! The CSGM is amazing.
That 70 is amazing, Bunny. And Pickles seems very contented in his TR. That is the sweetest pic!
I love Pickles :hbeat: :hbeat: :hbeat: :hbeat: . Yearning for a kitten because Her Majesty, Queen Minette, that is, pays way more attention to her daddy, and with my sweet Mischief, my avatar and angel, now over the Rainbow Bridge, I am kitty lost. I hug Minette like crazy and I know she loves me, but I miss my beautiful Chiff :crybaby:. But it’s not the right time.
Here are my two Kachinas GTs, and exulting in finally cataloging my scarf collex, complete with clear labels. :cutesy: What a relief.View attachment 5625038View attachment 5625045

I do have some multiples at home-- notably my truest and earliest scarf loves Parures de Samurais and Ex Libris en Kimonos, which I shall try to post when I return home. In the meantime, this last season was ruinous for me in terms of designs so here are some multiples I recently acquired... and thank you for indulging my catch-up post!

Thank you, Lkb. I feel I should take advantage of the one-pet household I am now in, however much I miss my boy.
Kachinas is a design with such great versatility. I have often thought to add a 90 or a maxi-twilly.
On another note, I must apologize for my comma-laden post and rather run-on sentence in the earlier post :annoyed:. Writing from a phone is sometimes difficult for me - I don’t always “see” my writing and necessary edits don’t happen.

I just adore this design-- the soft yellow cw is lovely on you @Nomad.

Gorgeous @Agrume-- safe travels to you!

What a great story @xincinsin! Who among us does not love a scarf bargain and successful hunt tale? Can't wait to see your tying experiments with the new one. And as your twin on the double face, I can't help but love it...
I will take a picture when I get home and post for you…

This week is about resistance :bagslap: and capitulation :whiteflag:
Which is also the story of this design: a complete comedy of lust, indecision and FOMO.

When H first released Clair de Lune, I love love loved the design ... BUT ... yes, there was a but. I find 140 silks very difficult to use. Too much silk for me and I get swamped. And it was round - would I look like I'm wearing a tablecloth? My SA showed it to me and I sighed over it but reluctantly decided not to buy it because it was a lot of money to spend on a scarf that I would likely never wear. My SA agreed and swept it away (the hot pink cw, I recall).

Then Clair de Lune was released as a double-sided 90. Oh yes! But it was during the pandemic and there was a run on the scarves here. Gone were the days I could hem and haw over various cws. My SA made an executive decision and reserved a cw for me. There was zero choice because all the pieces of Clair de Lune were reserved.

The round version still haunted my mind because every now and then, a scarfie here would post a modshot that made me second-guess my decision. On Monday, I was browsing a local resellers inventory because I was considering selling to them. And lo and behold, they had the round scarf, like new, for half the retail price. I bought it and picked it up the next day. Because at half-price, yes, I can afford to try it out.

This is me swamped in silk :faint:

This is me with a very very controlled Clair de Lune. :lol: I need to find something in-between.

My story is almost identical to yours! I loved the idea of the original but not the price, size or shape so was a reluctant “no” from me. Then I lusted after the double-face in the colour you have (and LKB too?) but couldn’t get it so settled for the pink/red version…

I often wonder which cw I would have chosen if I had had the luxury of choice :wondering: Yours is lovely!
Eta: Emotional me says red. Rational me says blue. Practical me says neutral. Wild me says purple. Result = multiples. :lol:
