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

[Marta_K]

All amazing awards for the years acquisitions! The colorway of the Surfer Fan is so fun and flattering. And I love the deep tones of the Soies Volants!



Mmm that Pavement scarf has such lovely texture! And - AMAZING colors on the Chacun.



This is very lovely and serene. The texture on the birds is impressive!



Love this on you! And it looks great in that knot.



Sooo beautiful. The elegant tones of these colors together! And perfect with that eggplant blouse.



These are all so lovely on you! I esp love the cheerful colors in Jungle Love and your epic ItCW. And so impressed that MrBelle helps so much with the hunt! My husband likes my scarves well enough but hasn’t even noticed how many I have now.



Congratulations on this new GT! The colors will pair with so much.

Thank you very much, Jereni!

 

[Marta_K]

Oh Marta these are exquisite. I have the plum one of this on my wishlist and in saved searches. I would also do your blues one. WOW!! Thanks for sharing and congrats on these . I see them every once in a while but never good enough condition for me to hit buy.

Winner winner for best Oscarf post. Loved all of this. Love getting a peak behind the curtain to your scarf world

Awe at son. This looks so fab on you. You are an enablement queen. The tide is pulling me and I must resist..must.

Awe loved this and agree fully @LKBNOLA

Oh all special pieces. Twins in news. And what colors on Balade. I am loving everyone’s ‘one that got away’ category

Stop the presses!! Did I know about your leonhardi and forget!! . You must tell me where you found it. I plan to get every cw of this one. I felt so darn lucky to find a pink this year. And that sweat dreams cw is perfection on you

Awe so true. How often to I come here to look at a scarfies pics of one I am looking to buy. And how many times to I leave this page to go look for a scarf online haha.
Wonderful finds!!

@Snausages so funny on modernisme pareo. Perfect timing and meant to be. I thought that bay one might be hidden enough I could wait a bit longer before hitting buy. There is always such a long list and they slide up and down the priority level daily based on availability and prices. I have def wrapped my head around my pareo goals now. I know what I need in one. As you know..so many mistakes made hahaha.

Thank you Nomad! I will keep my eyes open for you and my fingers crossed

 

[paula24jen]

Amazing additions, including a gorgeous Samourais! And, I didn’t know that Modernisme Tropical was issued as a pareo! Gosh, it’s fabulous! The Chevaux a la Collection is magnificent and all are beautifully styled


Oh wow… Congrats! It is amazing


Love your categories… That Fanfare stole my heart, too


It is fabulous


What a delightful twilly! And, so creatively styled as always


Gaaaah! It is sublime! I am your sister on this beauty and I relate to that special thrill of wearing a super vintage scarf issued on our birth years!


Gaaaah! So incredibly lovely


Love this one… My favorite CW and I am happy to be your twin


Ties like a dream!


Fabulous choices! I find myself staring at the beauty of Tulipomanie as well… and that Boucleries Moderne is so special! I got it because of the jacquard


All three are spectacular. I am delighted to be your sister on the first two and twins on Canadian Wild… You can never go wrong with any of these… A dream to style, too


Well, these are positively stunning! You are so lucky to get that gorgeous DUJA and the shawl is magnificent… Happy to be your Costume de Fete twin… The most lively and vibrant pop of colors ever!


Magnificent!!

Always happy to be your twin!

Wow! That is an amazing color… it glows with your yellow sweater!

Oh my - each one is stellar and you look so wonderful in them all!

What a fantastic look with the necklace and FT! That’s fabulous!
Your Pavement though is just lovely, what a find!


zomg… I die.
(have to admit to some giggling about the magnets… they really are helpful, but as @Redbirdhermes says - watch out for other metal objects - I once got stuck on a bar stool legs in the kitchen when vacuuming…

Darling earrings and lovely CSPM!
And welcome!

So so pretty in pink!

Thank you sweethear!

wait… Unfortunately?? That’s beautiful Croisette, you are so lucky to have that!

Thank you so much!

Of course the way to avoid getting magnetically stuck to a bar stool is to get someone else to do the vacuuming!

[Croisette7]

Apologies in advance for the mega multi quote - this has been a very active day on tPF!


Holy smokes @bunnycat that losange! And thank you for reminding me I need to get Surfing Fan (before the price increase!)


@HermesEchidna these are all wonderful (and fantastic PeF story!) and I’m so looking forward to your always-a-great-read posts in the new year!

Congrats @Mary Ann G - it was meant to be!




These scarves are all award-worthy @redheaddem and I envy your ability to wear oranges so well!

@violetkool another one who wears oranges so well! Absolutely charming twilly and the bracelet as choker is inspired styling!



Wowzers @LKBNOLA you’ve had quite an award-winning year! You wear so many colors and styles all with aplomb! Loooove the moussie!

@paula24jen such fantastic colors! I’ve always believed this has been an underrated design and if I could find this colorway I’d snap it up on a heartbeat. Great scarf ring!


TY @Nomad - if you were looking at the TM pareo on the bay, that one spurred me to contact a sister who I knew had it to get her thoughts on the authenticity of the one haunting me from the listing. Imagine my stunned joy that I hit her at just the right time that she felt like rehoming hers. Should have also bought a lottery ticket that day! (LOL I’ll need to win the lottery if I keep adding to YOSD)

Your well thought out additions are all amazeballs but that Tulipomanie is beyond heavenly!!!


You have such a great smile @GloWW0rM and much to smile about with those gorgeous additions!

TY @Jereni for your lovely compliments and I’m delighted to twin with you on Animapolis and ITCW! All the animals in these three are happy-making!


TY @Croisette7 for the Samourais love - I truly need more necks and I’m convinced you are like an Oscar emcee with dozens of costume changes every day because your collection is just dazzling! That Biches is beautifully soft and when I see one I shall ping LKBNOLA because yes she needs it!

Oh my word @FA73 that shawl is gobsmackingly gorgeous - holiest of grails indeed!

@Redbirdhermes your statuettes are well-distributed! Another post making me kick myself for not getting Tulipomanie - both are transcendent

Oh @Living.la.vida.fifi I am swooning between your scarves and your jewels! And your lippie (especially with the Chacun)! Your photos are always drool-inducing

Welcome @piperdog and congrats on a 90 cashmere! Such a great format and the colors in this are beautiful

So glad to see you @Foxy trini and congrats on the CeC! H knows how to do a mashup so well and this looks smashing on you!


TY @Cookiefiend and your feathered friends are fine indeed!




TY @Marta_K and your cashmeres are leaving me breathless! All so different in color and design and you look beautiful in all!

@Lellabelle oh I think MrBelle is in a category by himself! As for the scarves… jeez o petes they are all marvelous! Love your jewelry pairings and knots.

This brooch is beautiful @Karenska

Thank you for such a sweet compliment, dear Snausages!
I'm blushing.

[Jacq1]

And the Oscarf goes to…
I love all my scarf acquisitions equally but for me, one stands out, because it is not just a scarf for wearing but a piece of art that needs to be celebrated: Cosmographia Universalis by Jan Bajtlik captured my heart very early and I am thrilled to have found one new with tags in this brilliant colorway.

Actually Cosmographia is the scarf that made me aware of H scarfs because I found a replica on Etsy (without any references to H.) that already captured me - imagine my surprise when I discovered the design was actually copied! I had to have the real deal and started following this thread …

Cosmographia Universalis is my top scarf for 2023 and I started the year 2024 in it

 

[LKBNOLA]

2023 was a Three-Grail Year for me and each of them deserves its own award. I have made a "photo montage" of the winners. Everyone kept asking what I wanted for such a milestone birthday year. "Oh, just some scarves," I innocently replied. But DH and DD get honorary Oscarfs for attentive listening, excellent organization and follow-through and very creative timing as I never knew which was in the wrapped box I was being given...It was a lot of silky fun and a joy to receive these coveted and now cherished pieces.

Oscarf for Holy Grail of the Year: Hommage a l'Explorateur Sir Ernest Shackleton
Oscarf for Best Group Gift Grail: Dans un Jardin Anglaise
Oscarf for Most Inspirational Grail: La Femme aux Semelles de Vent


But my actual SOTD is a recent acquisition from the AS 23 season which leads me to add a new category to my 2023 Awards.
Oscarf for Best Full Length Feature in the Bandana Category: Zoaves et Dragons CSGM and Oscarf for Best Short Feature: Chorus Stellarum

 

[momasaurus]

I have a few other awards to present today (one will depend on lighting, timing and opportunity). In 2023, I acquired my first (and likely to remain only) exceptional scarf, Pois Couture Ex Libris, sometimes also called Ex Libris au Pois. This is a 90 mousseline embroidered with small bright blue beaded discs. I did not have a classic Ex Libris in my collection so I was thrilled to add this one. The Oscarf for "Best Exceptional" in my collection goes to this lovely piece (albeit by default)...
View attachment 5922755

This is a beautiful piece for special occasions - the curves and the straight lines, the delicacy of the fabric vs the strength of the colors - and your earrings are perfect.

 

[LKBNOLA]

Oh my goodness, what a lovely post, dear @LKBNOLA! You really are too kind!

You really deserve an Oscarf, or six, for your many services to Scarflandia: Most consistent enablement, Most perfectly selected knots, Best scarf pairings, Queen of the marinière, Warmest welcome to new scarfies and Kind and Generous Scarf-friend to many! Your contributions here really have been a highlight not just of 2023, but as long as you have been posting here.

What a very sweet thing to say @Lellabelle-- this place is magic because we all pay it forward. I feel the same about a host of scarfies here. In fact, Oscarfs all around! Or rather, a round of Oscarfs-- on the house!

I've been enjoying everyone's awesome posts! Sadly haven't been wearing a lot of scarves this week so sharing mostly archives. Pretty sure 2023 was the year I went scarf hunting a bit too seriously.

My "one that got away but managed to find" - C'est la Fete. I remember being heartbroken my store couldn't sell to me when it was first released. Managed to find one from an awesome reseller.

Best double faced - Cheval Sirene

View attachment 5923225

Best older scarf find - Royal Mews, loved it so much that I managed to find two beautiful ones..this one is my favourite of the two

View attachment 5923223

Most unexpected find - Ballade de Heian

View attachment 5923219

Beautiful finds @mktlim -- you enabled me to finally go for Royal Mews this year, too and your Ballade de Heian is wonderful!

Wowzers @LKBNOLA you’ve had quite an award-winning year! You wear so many colors and styles all with aplomb! Loooove the moussie!

I have indeed @Snausages and an Oscarf to you for helping make it so with long distance enablement of all kinds!

I love all of these (and your Oscarf-worthy smile!) but you look like you are having a blast in Sweet Dreams @Snausages...

Oh, this is so beautiful it tugs on my heart. I love these peaceful birds and your cw is magnifique.

I feel exactly the same @Maedi-- I cannot get enough of them-- they are nested in my heart with their distinct personalities. In researching the life of the "animalier artist" who could paint creatures with such beauty and tenderness, I learned a fun fact about his later life which may appeal to our Royals fans: "Perhaps the apotheosis of his career was being called to England in 1958 to paint Queen Elizabeth II on horseback, and Prince Charles and Princess Anne, each with their pony. He also painted the Belgian King Baudoin and Queen Fabiola." (internet source: Hermes Scarves Co UK)

Good morning.
My last Oscarfs go to Outstanding Enablement - to Scarflandia for tipping me to purchase designs which I had my eye on, but was not certain about. The chance to see scarves worn and tied for real in here is truly so much better than webshop flats.

These are scarves which have been added to my collection due to you:

And today I am going back to the saltmines after two glorious lazy weeks of leisure. The struggle is real, but I am lifted up by last year’s final acquisition sotd Objects de Curiosite

View attachment 5923259

Have a great Day!

This is a great parade of winners @hermes Echidna. Truly. Twins on Robe du Soir and sisters on the rest, all favorites. What a good year!

Stunning !

Thank you @monteverdi!

Of course the way to avoid getting magnetically stuck to a bar stool is to get someone else to do the vacuuming!

Truth. Always a good strategy @paula24jen !

GNT are my top stars 2023

View attachment 5923274

Both are simply stunnning on you @Croisette7. I adore this design in CSGM-- such gorgeous corners and of course the scene is beyond compare. Your new orange one is a true tonal beauty...

And the Oscarf goes to…

Congratulations on your detective work and its Oscarf-worthy result @Jacq1!

 

[momasaurus]

Well...in order to even think of participating this week, I had to "consult" my scarf spreadsheet as I couldn't actually remember what I acquired this past year. Now that either means 1- I have too many scarves (and that is true ) or 2- I am losing my mind (also true... )

Brightest scarf of the year in no doubt goes to the exceptional Marble cashmere losange decorated with Kyoto Marble flowers, and trimmed in Jungle Love Rainbow. This is also my SOTD today because it is cold, and wet, and breezy which makes it all seep in...

Favorite Men's Scarf 2023 is the cheeky Surfing Fan cotton/silk (archive pic)

View attachment 5922872



Longest Sought Grail (of this year) goes to Casques et Plumets moussie, which took 7 years to find:



View attachment 5922873

And that narrowly beat out Soies Volants pareo so I'll post the "runner up" for searches too.

So we'll give Soies Volants a Best Pareo find thumbs up.

View attachment 5922876


Favorite Twilly purchase: GTN

View attachment 5922874

Congrats especially on the long-sought grail! Definitely an OG move.

 

[momasaurus]

Here are some more 2023 new-ins, each one award-worthy in my book…

The Oscarf for Shawl of the Year goes to Faubourg Tropical… It is actually the only CSGM I got this year, but I’m pretty sure it would’ve gotten the top award for it is divine!
Here, as I wore it out to dinner on New Years Eve
View attachment 5922878

The Oscarf to Best Giant Silk of the year goes to Planisphere d’un Monde Equestre… My Grail Aloha Ala Moana is in a special category, and this was the only other giant silk I purchased late last year and have already worn it multiple times…
View attachment 5922879

And, now a special Oscarf to The Return of the One that Got Away… LOL… Just like Dans un Jardin Anglais, I tried this one on not once but twice at the Hermès boutique in 2017, but was too dazzled by Samourais and other designs to commit to it, so I left it behind, lost it and always regretted it. Well, I am delighted to have found it again in the same CW this year: Chacun Fait Son Nid
View attachment 5922880

Biarritz which was issued in 1954 was the oldest scarf I purchased this year, but she belongs to the Grail category, so I will give the Oscarf to the Most Vintage Scarf of the Year to Pavement which was issued in 1970
View attachment 5922881

These are great. I loved Planisphere when it first came out, dithered because we couldn't find all the CWs to compare, so I never got one. Also I was always surprised that it didn't make more of a splash. Someone must have bought them, though, as they are now impossible to find. Congrats!

Also I love your NYE look - great nails!

 

[ninakt]

I just wanted to show You my oscarf 2023: Hippopolis.
Then again first purchase of 2024: Under the Waves, which will be oscarf 2024
My two grails, I am so so happy to finally have them.

 

[momasaurus]

Like many of us, I love the vintage scarves. Some are incredibly and finely detailed, they are a marvel to see. They’re sometimes so soft, you know they’ve been loved. Sometimes they’re a little wabi-sabi, and you find you can live with a few flaws … sorta like the ones we love.
And - speaking of my vintage age - we can forgive ourselves for a few flaws.

Last year I found two vintage beauties.

The Oscarf for best jacquard of the year:
La Voliere des Dames - from 1958 (older than I am!), and in the lovely scalloped jacquard. I looked for this for a long time, almost had one in 2022 but the seller cancelled the sale, so I was thrilled to find another!
View attachment 5922974
The Ocarf for the mostest birds on wires:
Les Oiseaux des Champs et des Bois- from 1954 or 2004 - I’m not sure. It only has one of the very old small care tags … so it might be older than I am?
You all know how much I like birds, so this scarf made me very happy to finally find. It’s today’s scarf!
View attachment 5922975

These are both gorgeous. Your posts always force me a-hunting to go. LOL

 

[Marta_K]

Thank you all for the lovely and kind comments @Marta_K and @Jereni and @bunnycat-- and to @Cookiefiend and @Redbirdhermes thank you for the extra advice about magnets. It took me ages to even pry them apart so I foresee a steep learning curve! I'll probably just use my scarf rings and knots to be extra safe and not stick to any appliances...

Agreeing with @Cookiefiend! I don't see anything at all unfortunate in this post @Croisette7-- I would love to find one of the beautiful sepia tinted or champagne colored de Porets like yours! I think the resellers have a failure of imagination and just call everything "brown" by default. Twice I have been completely surprised by color being so different from online photos: this one (even after sending more photos it did not look this pink) and a Brides Rebelles which photographed blue and was totally white! Oh, and the Les Biches you have is a dream of mine...

Welcome to the fun @piperdog-- what a lovely pairing. I hope this means that we will actually see a lot more of you in 2024! A CSPM is a special thing to have and Legende Kuna is beautiful.

These are fabulous and grail-worthy finds @Cookiefiend. Really beautiful both. And I guess we both were having a bird-brain Oscarf moment today...

The colors are gorgeous in your new "oldie" @Marta_K. I am also expecting one form the days of 65/35 cashmere silk and am curious to see and feel the difference. The fabric here looks quite a bit heavier and must be deliciously warm! I do have a soft spot for the color combo of your blue one though...I think you can maybe give them "Night" and "Day" Oscarfs...

What a beautiful ceremony you have put together @Lellabelle! I think the Oscarf goes to you for Best Original Screenplay, Best Direction, Best Art, Best Cinematography and Best Performance by an Actress in a Mod Shot (or six!). I am delighted with my honorable mention for Prop Mistress in the Yellowstone production! Oh, and Best Supporting DH should get an Orange Statuette, too!

Isn't it wonderful @Marta_K? I am glad you were feeling well enough to go collect it!

I have loved these on you since the moment you first showed them to us @redheaddem! Glorious on you.

LKBNOLA, yes, thank you! I am already over my last spell of covid and back at work. I can tell you, the orange box awaiting me here was quite an incentive to return to the office .

As regards navy and burgundy Le Paradis du Roy, you are exactly right - the fabric looks thicker, feels thicker and is very warm. I can actually use it as an outside shawl, even on these days when the temperature drops below zero and it’s freezing (modern CSGM shawls aren’t warm enough for me on such occasions, I prefer then thick lambswool ones).

And what a great Day and Night Oscarfs idea !
