Scarves Scarf of The Day 2023- Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[lanit]

I once encountered an SA who, although very friendly, kept suggesting that I buy scarves which I didn't really like because "you can frame them". I kept reminding her that I want to WEAR my scarves.

And thus, CCP and I really have to reduce the collex (I hear frantic squawking from the aviary ). This year, I resolve to be strong and not buy a scarf just because it feels odd to walk out of H empty-handed. I will buy only what I really like and what I will wear. As for CCP, as 2022 closed, I received a CCP scarf. I don't do well with most shades of brown, and you can't really see exact shades on the computer monitor, so I have mistakes I've been looking to replace a brown Rose Compass and finally found one in dark blue - much more to my taste.

Dear Xcs, what/who is CCP? Totally agree with your statements about wearability vs. collecting for framing!

Resolution number 3: shop in my collection.
Scarves always have a special reason to appeal to me. I may have a list of criteria, but there are still many temptations... For example, this year I'm going for Costume de fête and the little beads on the edge... My "Arbre du vent" will help me wait or resist!

Another delight is Le jardin des peintres. I like several colours but I'll have to try them. For the blue and pink, "Plumes en fête" and "Index palmarum" will do for today

Masterfully done, @Coco2606 ! The paring of Plume and Palmarum is spectacular and I actually prefer it to Pientures!

Wow so many beautiful posts since late last night! I am heading out to do errands in my personal favorite Tresors d'un Artiste. I have collected two of this design (second one below mod shot) and thought of culling to one but as was pointed out with @Redbirdhermes' two very different cws, each has its place in my "Scarfdrobe"-- a wonderful new portmanteau word coined by a darling scarfie friend!

 

[Redbirdhermes]

I wish I could work with browns and taupes as you do @Redbirdhermes

Thank you, Snausages. Your comment got me to thinking, and please allow me to expand on it. You are referring to the new Le Carnaval des Animaux, CW09, which I think of as primarily a medium to dark blue and green scarf which does work well with my brown and taupe tops.

This past year I rehomed several brown and taupe scarves, because wearing them was more ‘I should’ than ‘I feel good’. Those that went included a brown Trophees de Venise, a brown Casse Noisette and a taupe L'Instruction du Roy. I like wearing brown tops, but apparently that doesn't necessarily extend to my scarves. However, never say never, as I absolutely adore my brown Jardins d'Hiver. That scarf is staying.



I've already replaced the Trophees de Venise with a green colorway, and while the Casse Noisette has not been replaced, I do like the design and will wait for a better colorway.

My SOTD is my replacement Trophees de Venise, after the brown scarf left through the CCP. I'm wearing my medium brown sweater today. I like this pretty scarf.

 

[Karenska]

This is such a happy scarf and I love your emerald green shirt!

It‘s great to know that we have similar techniques ignoring/evading questions concerning our scarf collecting habit. The only one whose questions cannot be ignored is my mother because she knows me too well. But I‘ve started gifting and lending my Hermès scarfs to her, so she can join in the fun, too. Yet she is more sensible than me and has not bought a single Hermès scarf herself so far. Well, she doesn’t have to, she has me .

So true, LF! And thank you for the lovely compliment. It’s a cotton t-shirt and so twillies, gavs and ‘danas are paired with it, never 90s.

The red one is gorgeous and has a firm place very high up on my scarf wish list! It ties so well and is very versatile because it is colourful and the pattern rather abstract. Against your grey sweater, it is absolutely eye catching!

Truly fantastic Closet Shopping @Coco2606 -- you have absolutely approximated -- and as @Lellabelle notes-- even surpassed the designs you were replicating. Quite masterful. This is useful because for me, my seasonal shopping is starting to slow down as I ask myself "Is this scarf as beautiful as one I already own?" and in some cases I have actually replied No...

Hello my dear scarf friends! I am thrilled by the great photos and information and enjoy the thread now already to the fullest.
Unfortunately, I was sick the last few days and have already missed the connection a little, but could start today with my color scheme problem scarves.

I don't have that many grand scarves (I'm terribly embarrassed, but for the life of me I can't remember it CGSM GSCM GSCM....) - And compared to you, of course, ridiculously few 90 cm scarves. I think the silk scarves suit me better because they have a bit of a sheen to them, the muted one of the CSGM GSCM - you know what I mean - doesn't suit me as well in my opinion.

So for now. let's have a look at the grand carres I own and the problems I have with some of them.

Apologies for the pictures, I'm not feeling particularly well yet, and I'm pretty unphotogenic unfortunately. AND I gained a lot of weight. I personally think, that I need a slimmer face to make the scarves look good, so some pictures are from those glory times when I ate properly and went to the gym on a regular basis......

View attachment 5682512

Let's start with the scarf I've been dying to get: Large Triangle Sweet dreams in shades of green. I find it a little bit "dull" on me, althoug I really LOVE the desing and am a true Baijtlik- fan:

View attachment 5682513


Let's move on to my problem scarf: Mytiques Phoenix in orange / blue.
The scarf has sentimental value for me. I bought it when I realized that I need to get away from certain people to be happy. So the scarf was an anticipated symbol of success, so to speak - and I wear it with pride today. The Birkin, which I requested at the same time, I still do not have, however.

That the colors do not look good on me I was aware at the time, but unfortunately not how bad they look..... I combine the scarf with earrings that were dirt cheap (8 euros?), but match the design perfectly - hopefully they never break

View attachment 5682516

let's move on to Sweat Dream men's scarf- I wear it really seldom although I fought for it SO hard at the boutique. Perhaps that memory is attached to the scarf.. Sadly because I utterly love the design. And the typo "sweat dreams" Lord, I had to sweat for it... I took the foto today, you can clearly see that I am still sick and gained a ton! I am sorry for the ugly pic

View attachment 5682530

Now let's have a look at my two most loved carres in big sizes:

Firstly: Fantasie indiennes. Initially bough to hang it on the wall but I loved it so much, that I decided to wear it. It came to me to Stockholm, to Rome, to Nizza, to Paris, to Vienna, to Triest and literally everywhere. That said I am still fighting with the yellow parts in it.

View attachment 5682532


and the last one in my small collection of bigger formats: la danse des Amazones. I figured out that the orange blue colorscheme of my Phoenix doesn't work so good for me, so I searched for a design I liked in red- tones. Initially I wanted to purchase Bingata, but didn't like it on me and fell in love with the little wise owl on it. Sadly I pulled a string at exactly that element of the carre with my morganite ring I purchased to wear it together with the scarf.

I think your shawls all look wonderful and I love your nw triangle despite your reservations... I do agree with @Karenska that a different color top will make your MP shine! Plus your Amazones in pink is absolutely lovely on you!

Thank you! It’s their old silver one:
View attachment 5682536

Yes! I love the shape-- I just received the beaded one as a gift and am looking forward to putting in my scarf ring rotation @leechiyong.

Happy New Year Scarfies! Thank you for the articulate posts of resolutions and lessons learned on our little thread and saluting all our current and past scarves mistresses for keeping our thread lively and interesting!

As my silk collection has reached a point of no more space in the tansu, I am definitely in that period of life of editing to as few scarves and shawls as possible. Last season I received only one very special silk and it was more expensive being a marble silk. I truly thought I could stay on my 90 ban forever but broke that resolution since the process of the marble silk and its design captured my heart.

So, to aid in this process, I go through my edits with the hope that rehoming them so that these beautiful scarves can be worn and appreciated by others as well as my letting go of things that I just can’t seem to wear due to current lifestyle changes. There are a number of designs that still take my breath away just looking at them, but the majority seem to be languishing in their boxes or shelves. that is the bigger battle for my heart.

Wearing what I have is my simple resolution as well as letting go. The new year is a time to refresh, renew and to pare down my life in general! I’m excited to leap into these goals immediately! Wishing you all great success, good health and scarf happiness for 2023!

Happy New Year to you @lanit-- what a beautiful styling of the marble silk! I am happy to be your twin-- a very special addition and gift to carry us into the new year. I admire your fortitude in implementing a 90 silk ban. I would not be strong enough...

Today I tried to live up to my resolution to wear my silk carrés more often and went for my most difficult one: Tapis Persans 140 silk with lots of slippery fabric. The knot is not terribly exciting but at least I managed to wrangle it in place and make it stay there.

View attachment 5682597

What a beautiful Tapis and how compactly tied @Thelittlefoxes -- love your green sweater. And I also enjoyed the story of your mother shopping your closet! A lovely lovely thing to share...

For me, the Men’s collection are very good investment pueces and I love the 100 size format. I’ve yet to edit a Men’s scarf from the tansu.

A gorgeous CCP @Redbirdhermes-- I have seen this one IRL and it is a gorgeous scarf. And that is interesting to think about-- I favor blue tops too and at first I gravitated to blue scarves (and neutrals) but I am happily branching out...

The red one is gorgeous and has a firm place very high up on my scarf wish list! It ties so well and is very versatile because it is colourful and the pattern rather abstract. Against your grey sweater, it is absolutely eye catching!

Ah, thank you so much @Thelittlefoxes-- I adore the wintery colors and the white hem (never met a white hem I didn't love!). This is cw05 if that helps in your search. It took a long time for me to find it but there it finally was, brand new with its tags...Scarf Hunter Joy, right?

Hello Scarfies,
I apologise for some mishandling in recent days. I still have to tame my new phone, especially because it won't let me resize photos.

IBut when even random colleagues ask you just how many scarfs you actually own, it’s probably time to slow down a bit…
So what ? That's your signature !

What does it exactly mean ?

I am amazed by this mathematical demonstration !
As for me, I did a little inventory yesterday. The Universe is sending me a message... I have 66 in 90/90. Does this mean stop? Is 6 for the year ok? Should I let go of the 666? Isn't that diabolical?
In any case, I feel like Saint Michael in the desert when faced with so much temptation (I forbid myself to look at the other discussion with the newcomers). Fortunately, on the H site, there are no colours that I am looking for... yet !

Can't stop with this! I think H scarves are definitely diabolical!

Resolution number 3: shop in my collection.
Scarves always have a special reason to appeal to me. I may have a list of criteria, but there are still many temptations... For example, this year I'm going for Costume de fête and the little beads on the edge... My "Arbre du vent" will help me wait or resist!

You are beautiful! Taking care of oneself is truly a worthy goal, and another on my list this year. You really shine in the purple/pink/red colors and it shows in your mod shots. with Sweet Dreams, the triangle, I would pair it with a shirt in the deep green to bring that cool ton out. I (finally) have the Sweet Dreams 100 in that CW (so we are twins) and I adore it. I like it so far on greens and black best with a strong red lip. The MP. I feel you on orange. I can do it as an accent color, but it can't be the main theme. Strangely, when I have a scarf with lots of orange, I tend to like it with pink. So maybe also try a pink sweater with it? Definitely try a light blue/turquoise and fold to highlight the turquoise in the scarf. Maybe you'll find that is what you were missing with it! And keep taking your mod shots and don't be afraid to share here. You are a shining beauty!

Excellent resolution, Little Foxes, especially where the 90s are concerned. I cannot tell a lie, I am a Boring Knottist . And with a drawerful of scarf rings, too . As for people asking how many scarves I have, or when some ask the price , I just give some vague answer.

Well, I added it all up, so now I have to directly lie if someone wants to know how many I have....

Dear Xcs, what/who is CCP? Totally agree with your statements about wearability vs. collecting for framing!

It has been coined as Color Correction Program by @LKBNOLA whereupon you regime a scarf but replace it with a colorway which suits you better.

Wow so many beautiful posts since late last night! I am heading out to do errands in my personal favorite Tresors d'un Artiste.

I love your CCP'd Venise! And I can see how you'd make an exception for the Hivers. I do actually have a few "exceptions" too to my no pastels rule that seem to keep working on me for some magical H reason which I still don't understand.

 

[xincinsin]

Dear scarfies, my resolve is being tested. Yours truly flew to Bangkok today. I brought only one scarf with me as this is not a scarf-friendly trip. I valiantly walked past the H at Changi Airport Terminal 2 and pretended that I didn't see it. Then I checked into my Bangkok hotel, looked out of my 17th Floor hotel room ... And I spy the H boutique across the road (face-palm).

 

[leechiyong]

Yes! I love the shape-- I just received the beaded one as a gift and am looking forward to putting in my scarf ring rotation @leechiyong.

The beaded one is gorgeous! I’ve been a fan of Bayou with Love since they announced their jewelry partnership with Dell.

I love how they work with smaller formats too. I wanted something that wouldn’t overpower them, while not overcrowding larger formats either.

Dear Xcs, what/who is CCP? Totally agree with your statements about wearability vs. collecting for framing!

CCP is short for Color Correction Programme - a concept term coined by @LKBNOLA. I have quite a number of placeholder scarves or bargain scarves which don't really suit me for numerous reasons, but the main reason tends to be the cw. Perhaps it was vintage and not common, so I snapped it up. Or it was such a bargain. Or the pics misled me. In any case, the scarf does not suit me, but I like the design, so I look for a replacement - I "Color correct" it.

I would say "stay strong" but I'd be lying as I would not be able to contain myself and go in for a "look see"...

A minor resolution in the last year or so was that I "had enough" cat themed scarves so I tried and tried to give Lazy Leopardesses a miss since I have several (3) Jaguar Quetzal scarves, as well as Ardmore Artists, Tigre Royal and several Dallet. Surely that was enough???

I am glad to have finally given in to this scarf because it is indeed very easy to wear, and I don't think it interferes with my others. But I really am fairly complete in the cat scarf department now. I did successfully avoid the Chat Carre' as every one I tried on was too pastel, and it was very prominent on the borders and so a no go for me. I am going to look at the new JL stamped b/c...Jungle Love.... and I think it will be a very unique take on the JL design if the colors suit me. (Thanks a lot @LKBNOLA for the mod shot of your CW, and @Snausages for the boutique pics that sealed the deal on the red and bronze CW being a possibility for me. ) After this, if I start down the Cat Print Path again (officially CPP now, not to be confused with CCP) you can all collectively me.

My lovely Lazy Leopardesses from yesterday.
