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

[orchard]

Good afternoon from Berlin where we have just arrived, after a night on call. With lots of scarves for the 4 days here (> 1/d). SOTD, at least for the trip, was Awoooooo, in a small format. Wish you all a good end of this year and a peaceful 2024. Thank you for being such a positive community!

And it keeps you warm, too! Great relaxed look!


Love the way it’s worn, HE! Must try this, too.


What a peaceful colourway, Croisette, wonderful, and the earrings are well matched indeed!

Thank you so much, Agrume!

Your collection is beyond amazing, I love it every time you share it

Good morning.
No Big formats for me today. Just Animapolis for lunch and theater with most of the family in lovely sunny weather.
Wish you all a bright Day!

HermesEchidna, my Animapolis sister, enjoy your day, it sounds lovely

@LKBNOLA and @Snausages: Here’s the tutorial, tried to recreate as best I can.

1. Gather 1 cashmere-silk (100 or 140), 1 smaller format silk (45 or 60), and 1 hair tie

2. Start by accordian-folding the smaller format silk

3. Wrap around neck, slightly off center, and secure ends with hair tie
View attachment 5919559

4. Fold the CS using the bias fold technique

5. Off center wrap the long end of the CS around the neck going over the smaller format silk

6. Wrap the CS end under the smaller format fan to tie the CS ends together once.

7. Make a bow with the CS ends

8. Now fluff the bow and fan!

Happy Almost New Year, Scarflandia. With a very warm thank you to @Agrume for hosting us through cashmere week. Thank you also to everyone for sharing so many wonderful pieces-- they are all so beautiful and as @Agrume said, they each assume a particular individuality with each wearer, which is so nice to see.
I would like to close by sharing my first grail CSGM-- and my most recent. I was quite late to the party on this format, but once I dipped my toe in the water, I was quickly swimming in the deep end! After acquiring a few in the regular seasons, I started haunting the Ode to CSGM thread and compiling "The Wish List." At the very top of that list was Parures de Samurais, which was a "gateway design" for me-the one that started it all. I am still a bit afraid of this beautiful piece and tend to baby it more than I should but my New Year's Resolution is to actually wear some of my grail acquisitions. We shall see how I do!

And my most recent acquisition, which I was fortunate to find at a fair price, was another design I have collected in multiples because I love it so much. Introducing my new-to-me Ex Libris en Kimonos in cw 07-- a beautiful, lush, astonishing wonder. I am thrilled to have it. (Editing to add that I am pretty sure I am twins with @Croisette7!).

Fainting couch much needed... 😍
LKBNOLA what treasures, and how beautiful you look in both of them! I love you in ELEK especially By the way, I understand your sentiment completely! I am much worse, actually. All my grails that I bought in mint condition are often admired by me in their boxes, occasionally aired and then sometimes photographed - but have never actually been worn by me. Perhaps it should be my New Year's Resolution to wear at least one of them and not panic about it...

Dear Scarflandia
My today's archive contribution is my only moussie (Sangles):




It so happens I also have it in almost identical CW in CSGM:

Well, it is clear I am strongly tempted by fall colours
Thank you again for all get well wishes, today I could even get up for a short while to help my DH around the house.
Have a lovely Saturday everyone!

 

[LKBNOLA]

Good afternoon!
Prompted to post this rather fast by @Jereni and @LKBNOLA (and I Think also enabled by both - and sisters?) here is my surprise sotd.

I went to the local H today with an Old friend who tried on every scarf in the boutique. I on the other hand stayed on my virtuos path of near-abstinence and only claimed a preordered carre I have been looking at for a while and wanted to get before the dreaded annual prize increase.
But, guess what then happened? A certain double sided scarf of jolly leopards (abbreviated ‘double jeopardys’? ) jumped at me and insisted on following me home. I Think I have to let Them stay….

Both sides now:
View attachment 5919702
View attachment 5919703
We ended up being served champagne and the SA took our photos and showered us with perfume samples etc and Then we left, both with new lovely scarves. I swear I did not plan this!!!
The other purchase will appear in here soon as well - now I will go and put my visa in running cold water and Then feed the leopards.

Wish you all an orange Day!!

I am still laughing over Double Leopardy-- congratulations @HermesEchidna! I cannot get enough of this design and am delighted we are twins. There colors are perfect for you!

Snausages introduced the 90 format, perfect for winter days. I have only one, but this is one of my most loved designs, Les jardins d’Arménie. I believe we have seen most cashmere formats now - the CSGM, CSPM, gavroche, losange, triangles, 65 and 100 cm from the men’s collection and also a muffler. I am sure I forgot a format…

View attachment 5919715

So beautiful! This is a special design @Agrume. I have only one 90 CSPM and wish I could find more-- although H did introduce those cashmere light scarves a few seasons ago...

Very late to posting this week. I have no cashmere in my collection as of yet, but I had scarf mail and H visits aplenty this month! More later, as there is so much to share… but I think I honestly doubled my collection of 90s!!! Here is a shot of my new Vallee de Cristal (cw 03) that I simply cannot stop wearing. I have a pile of photos of different ties - I’ll post to the FW 2023 thread.

Also a photo of our Christmas Eve menu - it’s a magnetic chalk board now adorned with the strangest little gift from my local H boutique. I thought it was a deer, which would make some sense, but upon closer inspection the animal appears to be a cat?!?! I’ve heard of Jack-a-lopes, but a Cat-a-lope…? Really?? It’s made of very thin leather and silks.

Belated Merry Christmas to all!!!


View attachment 5919753


View attachment 5919714

Okay, I actually took off Vallee de Cristal today to add my one and only “large format” for this week’s theme. I had this twilly on my watch list, but hadn’t realized it was a maxi twilly until showing it to DH for approval. If only I hadn’t noticed the size before I ordered it, I can only imagine my hysterical laughter upon its arrival! But I spoiled the surprise for myself, alas. At any rate, my only “large format” (and also holiday gift) scarf - Colliers et Chiens.

And to whomever likened dog collars to jewelry, I totally agree! Our little Maggie, when we got her, HATED wearing a collar! So, after awhile, I started telling her it was a necklace…. (Yes I know… anthorpomorphizing and all that). But now she likes to have her pretty necklace put on every morning!

View attachment 5920214

You look radiant in your Vallee and your new "jewels" are spectacular also! Congratulations @Mary Ann G -- love your posts!

Happy Friyay everyone - and I am so ready for the weekend!
My SoYD was Zebra Pegasus - twins with @Snausages and @lanit, sisters with many!

Ooooooh! I love your ZP triangle but your new prezzie is marveloous on you @Cookiefiend@! How very nice of Santa to have brought you this beautiful shawl! (Thank you and can't wait to see your OaSD, twin! )

You look so pretty in it, LKBNOLA! Mine has just arrived, but I ordered it to my office, so I will collect it and share it here once I'm healthy back at work (I can't wait)

Retour Ladies - LKBNOLA, Yuzulife, Redheaddem, Scarf1, SilkCouture - such a versatile beauty of a shawl, thanks for sharing these mod shots

Agrume
Happy to be sisters with You on this - I have this darling gavroche in silk. It is the only case of cashmere vs silk models I can think of, when the colours are, as far as I can tell, exactly the same. Here's mine for comparison:

Thank you @Marta_K -- for the Retour and GT love-- I can't wait to see how you style yours! You are always such a source of inspiration...And I hope that you are feeling better also! Your collection of gavs is always full of interesting delights, too!

Botanica Grafica with the wonderful new necklace my MIL gave me for Christmas.View attachment 5919904View attachment 5919905

That is a perfect necklace @Teaforparrots -- what a lovely gift. And of course I love seeing this perfect shawl on you, dear twin!

Lkb, that Pirouette is such a pretty red. Perfect against the black.

Gorgeous, Lkb. You seem to be able to wear any scarf!

Thank you @Awillow!

As a year end organizing task I decided to inventory all my shawls, to see which I haven't been wearing, and if there are any colors well represented. No surprise - navy shows up a lot! I made a collage of the ones that are navy and yellow / beige as the other accent color. I also have a collage planned later for just the navy + red ones. And then there are the navy + other such as Botanica Grafica (hi to my twin @Teaforparrots).

My sweet newfie wanted attention right when I was taking photos and so I've included that because - DOGS! She's some kind of blurry monster. We call her Bigfoot. Amazingly though, she's actually in focus here but not the scarf. It is nearly always the other way around. She's a major sweetie pie.

Here are my navy + yellow / beige CSGM: Coupe de Gala, Trophees, and on the bottom, the more navy end of Horse Club and the more light blue end. It's like having two in one. I'm especially fond of the horses riding the sky wheel. Clearly I have a soft spot for navy and geometric!

View attachment 5920235

The shawls are fabulous but I can't stop staring at your sweet photobomber @EtsyBoss! Although in all seriousness, I do year end inventories also just to keep myself from repeat-buying scarves that are too similar. I have not (and probably wouldn't dare) do a spreadsheet on my success rate! I think when it comes to H, the heart loves what the heart loves. That Horse Club is amazing-- it seems like four shawls in one plus a striped hem! Jackpot.

Before the day is done, Rocabar de Rire will cheerily slid right in. 🐴

... And you'd better watch out for this surrealist horse as he could easily make you lose your grip on reality. He likes to lark about, this one – as soon as your back is turned, he'll start clowning around to entertain the entire stable. And if you happen to mention going out for a ride, he'll tease you by pulling his favorite face, as if to say: "Why don't you do the running? I'm going to stay here, nice and warm under my Rocabar rug!"

Safe travels and a Happy New Year @Agrume-- it sounds like you will ring in 2024 in Berlin with plenty of scarves for the sojourn! Thank you again for a beautiful week. Awooooo is always on point and never ever disappoints. Love the red hem on yours. It is an LE or SE am I right?

Thank you to @Ashanti_Rose, @HermesEchidna, @Agrume, @Croisette7, @Marta_K and @orchard for all the nice comments and get-well wishes. Through the miracle of modern medicine and a little rest I am definitely on the mend and even wearing a CSGM, the very pretty Dressage Tressage showing off its blue side today.
