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

[Katharina Luise]

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!

This kind of green is a fantastic color for you dear LKBNOLA! I am also trying to find out which green is a good one for me. I really liked more olive green tones in former years but now with my grey hair I don't find it so flattering any more. I think your bright green might be the solution. This Marwari is gorgeous!

Thank you for a very exciting new theme @Karenska! Nice to read you after your misadventures last week. I hope all is well. The photos you shared announce a fantastic week (I hope that Sieste au Paradis, Tous les bateaux and other grails will be out for the eyes to enjoy!). Contrasting edges are often a detail that makes me drool, especially in the "berlingot" version like your latest example of the bassets.
I chose "Washington carriage patchwork" as my SOTD because it combines both: contrasting roll and explosive edge!

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 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 new and exciting designs, 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.

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.

Love the colors on PF @Maedi - I need to find a 90!

Wow this thread really moves in high speed! So please excuse me for not commenting back on all the nice comments to my last photos. You made me very happy And sorry for only being able to like and love all your gorgeous photos. So much to admire, learn and think about.

My last contributions are the scarves I wore at the end of the week to reach my goal of wearing more scarves
My cashmere losange without a name and my beloved MeM. I decided to wear it more often and not only admire it!
And Friday I wore my ntm grail for which I was looking the whole last year! Zebra Pegasus CSGM in the exact colors I wanted! It arrived last week, so perfect start of my scarf-year Excuse the hair, it was quite windy. View attachment 5686125View attachment 5686126View attachment 5686128

@Katharina Luise that losange is amazing! Love the pop of orange - it’s definitely your color

A great example, dear Coco, and thank you for you caring inquiry. I am doing much better though not nearly 100%, but at least I can get up and out of chairs, beds, etc. Hoping the new protocol clears up my bronchitis, too.
This scarf is indeed bodacious and so colorful! What a beauty. “Explosive edge”. - perfect.

Is that what that hem is called on Les Bassetts? Berlingot? Must check this out, so very fascinating. Thank you for suggesting some great candidates for this week for our Scarfies to show off. I have neither of those beauties so I can’t wait to see everyone’s.

Oh, nothing official with that word. It's because the first time I saw these edges (Space derby if I remember correctly), I thought they were candies called berlingots. That's just Coco lingo.

This week has been a great start to 2023 with hearing everyone's New Year's resolutions, and seeing lots of scarves. It has been a good time to review my own collection and think about where it's at and where I'd like to go this year. Thank you, @bunnycat , for getting us off to a great start for the year.

I pulled out my red Jungle Love Tatouage (Tattoo) to wear today, thinking that it was an example of where I was following a popular trend. Certain scarves are popular for a reason, and adding them to a collection should be considered. However, I feel that I need to resolve to be more careful about following trends. For example, I hadn't been on this scarf forum for very long before I found that people really, really like jacquard fabric scarves. They are certainly nice, but I don't really get all that excited by them, and this past year I sold three of my jacquard scarves. One reason that I purchased this Jungle Love Tatouage was because it had a bee jacquard.

View attachment 5685249

Last night I was looking at bunny's IG post about her new Jungle Love stamped 70, and admiring it very much, and thinking that perhaps this beauty would have a place in my collection.

View attachment 5685246

Then, it occurred to me that a resolution posted earlier this week might make more sense for me today. Shop your collection. (Thank you, @Coco2606 .) My JL Tattoo lacks Gianpaolo Pagni's clever embellishments, but it is still based on a red tattoo version of Dallet's gorgeous design. So, I’ll attempt to make it work.

My scarf of the day is Jungle Love Tatouage.

View attachment 5685659

The red/white JL is extremely beautiful especially with the vibrant red hem. I believe you are twins with @Foxy trini !

Another New Year's Resolution: give each of my 12 or so "duplicates" equal time! I will usually purchase at least one design each season in two cws, usually contrasting light and dark to match my seasonal clothing options, when I feel they will be what I fondly call "outfit makers." Now I have about a dozen of these duplicates and I have given myself a strict resolution to justify my purchases! Here is my second cw of a much loved design: Laboratoire du Temps, in a green/gray/white cw that totally won my heart and is a good contrast to my brighter one (thumbnail mod shot below).

View attachment 5685591

I have never seen that 1st colorway and it is a beauty! We are marron twins (of course!).

Resolution number 7: Maximum gratitude
I would like to express my gratitude more spontaneously and more often this year.
I am very lucky to have such beautiful scarves, to be able to benefit from the forum and from your wise advice.
Happy New Year to all of you!
SOTD, The spirit of the forest. I have been resisting buying it in other colours but it's difficult because I love this pattern. This one really goes with everything, even this yellow jumper. The scarf stays, the jumper not so sure (but that's another story!)
Anyway, thank you, thank you!

Bonus: the "beans" /"fèves " for the "galettes des rois" that I will prepare for the family meal. Who will be the king and queen of the day? (In France, we celebrate the Epiphany by sharing a pastry cake filled with almond cream. A "fève" is hidden inside the cake and the one who finds it is king)

Twins yet again Coco! Flawlessly paired with that perfect top.
