My most precious and beloved shawl is my embroidered Tigre Royal. Holiest grail of grails for me… ❤️ I am wearing it enthusiastically from time to time but it still should be out of the drawer more often... Resolution kept today! It had been worn to a concert:

Simply splendid Sammy! IMO the most beautiful embroidered piece ever made by H ... and of course a head turner at your concert. Perfect jacket and matching pearls!

Today was my orange H-Day! With the intention of wearing the bolder colors from my collection and wearing at least one scarf per day! In the morning I wore my CSGM Balade en Berline which I already showed in December
Later I changed to my first Hermès scarf. The one that started it all

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......

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:

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

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.

Love hearing the stories behind your scarves. Beautiful!

Just beautiful @Awillow. Still would like to add this design to my collex so it is great to see the different cws...

I don't have a big collection of scarves but I'd love to put most of them on rotation this year and learn more knots!

Fabulous hem and a great design @mktlim.

I love this! I am waiting for my sister scarf to yours-- doubly special as the design was first issued in 1953 so counts as part of my birth year collection! The 70 is very nice on you in this cw with the wonderful border and neutral hem @ivy1026.

Gavs are indeed a consolation! And that sweet little something that satisfies, like a Godiva chocolate. I love my gavs and wear them alot. When I was in LHR in 2019 with little time to spare, I almost bought this gav because there was no real time to shop for a 90. But I was indecisive and waffled, even though it was the perfect lil souvenir. My regret was instantaneous, as I kicked myself down the aisle to my seat .
A few months later I bought it at Madison Ave by mail, and now it is indeed my sweet souvenir from my wonderful trip to England Autumn 2019 regardless that I bought it in my own home state. Archive shot with lovely glass scarf ring by desr @bunnycat.

As @Redbirdhermes said, this is such a great little scarf and I too love its "origin story" @Karenska!

Ooooh, love the green one with the patterned shirt. And the burgundy with the trench.

Thank you so much, @Maedi!

Thank you, dear Lkb, and these two scarves are TDF! I think I see a Feux du Ciel on my horizon. Your cw is stunning and so is @laurenad ’s silver and calm beauty. Wowza!!

I fell in love with the design first because of @laurenad's mod shot some time ago and then as I began to look I saw so many vibrant cws. This was another design I collected first in a gavroche, @Karenska only to realize I really wanted the 90!

SOTD: sunny Splash Park CSGM, representing my resolution to have more FUN this year! Between teenagers and elderly parents, 2022 was more stressful than fun (with no vacations), but in 2023+ I’m aiming to create my own fun whenever I can!

View attachment 5685829

You look beautiful in this @cali_to_ny -- a fun and happy shawl indeed! I am past the stage of life you (and @Nomad and @EtsyBoss) are sandwiched in right now but I remember those days in my own life and the only way to get through is to claw some time and fun for yourself amid the people-making (teenagers!) and caretaking (elders) plus work and life responsibilities. Sending hugs and humor and compassion-- and of course some silky beauty helps too!

Feast or famine. My sotd for dinner this evening - Fleurs et Papillons de Tissus stole.View attachment 5685864

Simply spectacular-- a work of art and a vision of gorgeous stylins @Sammy Royal-- thank you so much for delighting us with your beautiful mod shot of this amazing exceptional...

I am officially in love with that green Lab @LKBNOLA

It is officially a very delicious color @Snausages!

In the befinning of the week I analyzed my red/blue scarves and what stayed and went. I decided to take another analyze into some other scarves that left my collection in 2022 plus one in rehome pile. Here is a collage.
View attachment 5686018
Anyone seeing a pattern…anyone…Bueller…Bueller ( for any 80’s kids)
I have some other samourais so that one was fairly painless. I wore it once. I have other Bibliotheque gavs so again painless. I have other promenades de paris. I ccp’d metamorphose, Les triples, and La France. Here..
View attachment 5686015
Much happier with these ccp colors. And I plan to ccp la femme with another color someday if I get so lucky.
Now I still have an orange and pink pytheas, and an orange bordered kachinas, so I didn’t rehome ALL scarves with too much yellow or orange. Just most. It doesn’t work on me for the most part. But I can absolutely do a mustard yellow in accent colors, or rust autumn orange, and others.
Today I wore one I fell in love with hard when it came out. However, this was early on in my collecting, and in the beginning I really really liked big drama and high contrast. I didn’t realize then that it doesn’t always love me back. So I realized today that this one MiGhT have to go too . It started as a day to follow my resolution and wear more of the scarves I love..but turned awry and got dark fast . I’ll try with more colored clothes before making the final decision.

Another day of comfort in a hoodie and yoga pants and a silk haha. View attachment 5686016

Truly interesting and fabulous analysis @Nomad. I agree with all but add my voice to the chorus loudly insisting that Promenades in the adorable aqua pink must stay to perk up your athleisure wardrobe and also anything else! It is great on you. Don't rehome it!

Pique Fleuri and Sichuan both haven’t been worn in a while. When I first saw PF, i totally loved the colors and Sichuan is preloved from about 8 View attachment 5686083View attachment 5686084years ago.

Oh, wow! That is a beautiful Sichuan (and smile!) but the colors on that PF are fabulous and perfect on you @Maedi...

Welcome @JulieKat so happy to have you join in the fun!

Sneaking in with a final resolution to continue to experiment with colors in the New Year. Green is my hardest color to get right. I err on the side of teal, for the most part (or the vert noir color of Lazy Leopardesses and yesterday's Laboratoire) but last season I bought a shawl with a green hem and Chorus Stellarum with its pops of lime and then I took a big plunge into the color by acquiring this undeniably bright green Marwari shawl. I was nervous about the citron colored tear drops in the design but I actually am enjoying my experiment quite a bit!

Happy Hems and Bodacious Borders: EdGy Style Statements!

Internet photo of PeC embroidered twilly.
Good day, dear Scarifies, and welcome to the second Sunday of the New Year and a new theme. Thank you to dear @bunnycat for starting off the new year with our scarf resolutions. You have all made many thoughtful and thought-provoking insights into how to better enjoy, manage, cull, and enhance our treasured collections! I use the word treasured a lot when I talk about our silks and cashmeres, because they really are. My first luxury scarf, a Salvatore Ferragamo with his signature cheetahs and flowers, made me realize very quickly the difference between his Italian-made beauty and my much less expensive mass-produced, though may I say, still lovely silk scarves. And the hem on my Ferragamo was one of the things I noticed first. It was hand-rolled front to back, plump and hand-sewn with tiny, perfectly-spaced stitches.

That description would apply perfectly to the gorgeous hems that characterize our beautiful French-made scarves. Except Hermès rolls and sews front to back and takes it all a few steps further, with its gorgeous contrast-colored hems, striped hems, and now, even Kyoto-marbling hems. I am by no means providing an exhaustive treatise on Hermès' inventive and brilliant ability to create and adapt, so we Scarifies welcome any information this week on its processes. But let's just say, sometimes the hems just make the scarf. How many times has someone exclaimed: "That hem!".

Borders on Hermès' scarves are also vital to the main theme. Sometimes a border will only simply frame the design, allowing it's main images to be spotlighted, and other borders accent the main theme. Other times, a border, especially a graphic one, will provide jarring notes that make it truly spiky and sophisticated. Some borders are embroidered giving even more textural variety. Borders and hems give visual interest to our silks, furthering our style and tying options that showcase Hermès' wonderful designs, as well as our own sense of fun and chic! Let's see some happy hems and bodacious borders this week, ok?

The borders on Le Voyage de Pytheas, with contrasting hem, too. The borders on this iconic design absolutely tie in with what’s going on in the theme. A sea voyage, the border shows lots of nautical images, fish, fishtails as well as Greek themes, for Pytheas sailed North from his lovely isle.

Thank you so much dear @JulieKat! Welcome to this thread! It is a lovely community and every day there is something for me to learn from the other scarfies who are way more experienced and knowledgeable than me

Congratulations @Katharina Luise -- no better feeling! You look amazing in each and every one-- that losange is so eyecatching! All are lovely and you look radiant as ever!

Thank you so much dear @LKBNOLA! You are too kind
