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

@Karenska - thanks for a wonderful intro. Here is my Toucans, which featues a beautiful cranberry red.

Wow, so beautiful. This color way is perfect and you tied it so well.

 

[Maedi]

I think H needs to make more scarves in chartreuse! Fabulous hem!!

I wholeheartedly agree.

 

[Langsam]

I'll admit I didn't "get" the green hem on Omnibus Remix, at first. Now, I'd miss that palate-cleansing accent if it were gone.

 

[Coco2606]

A very fun hem…

Very nice ! You choose the perfect colors for you.
Which design is this ? I suppose it's a 70 but I don't know its name.

 

[Karenska]

The fève in cooked inside. I wrote my own recipe. I need to translate it and I'll send it to you if you want

Oh, how lovely and kind of you, dear Coco! I will PM you.

 

[Karenska]

A very fun hem…

Fun and so stylish, Pirula. Beautifully tied, too.

 

[Karenska]

Gorgeous. I'm new to this thread... you're inspiring me!

Welcome, JulieKat! Hope you find this thread a delight.

 

[LKBNOLA]

I love the way you tied chorus stellarum !

Thank you @Coco2606 -- this is the "Waterfall Knot" from Mai Tai's Scarf Art App. It is easy to manage and I find it far less voluminous with a 70 than with a 90- but it does have the advantage os staying secure while showing a lot of the design...

Gorgeous!

Thank you @JulieKat!

My new Zebra Pegasus keeping me warm on a cold, rainy day.

Congratulations on your new GT @GloWW0rM -- this was the first GT I bought (in the other blue) and it started a love affair with the format! I think this marine blue is simply beautiful and perfect with your outfit and your lovely hair and lippie.

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.

What a great intro @Karenska! Lovely to see your Pytheas (x2) and Jungle Love Rainbow featured as well as my favorite Ex Libris Atlantis! Thank you...and hope the ribs are healing quickly...

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 @Katharina Luise -- it was a big bold step for me but like you-- my recently grey hair is prompting some changes!

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!

Wow, @Coco2606. I never realized this scarf had such dynamic corners! Beautiful...

Lovely greens @LKBNOLA - what is this last beauty?!

Thank you @Snausages-- that is La Selle Imaginaire-- total coup de foudre in the Greenwich Boutique last October!

I think these are all wonderful on you, Lkb. Cheval Marwari is a beautiful strong green but doesn’t overpower. The citron gives it point. A beautiful cw and lovely on you. I love green and definitely embrace it.
Speaking of hems, here is my beloved Acte III with lots of bright greens and a very yellow hem.
View attachment 5686354

Beautiful greens in that corner of your Acte III @Karenska and such a great contrast hem!

Thank you for the marvelous introduction to Hems and Borders Week, dear @Karenska . I'm glad that you are healing up and able to join the forum more than at first.

A number of months ago I finally found my first Sieste au Paradis, here in the 140 silk format. This scarf is all about the borders, and, as many of you have shown, ties and drapes beautifully. My scarf says it is gray and bright yellow, but I detect a lot of blue along with an orange hem, colors that I associate with Blippi. He makes videos for children on YouTube, and I can verify that the kiddos love him.

Introducing my Sieste au Paradis 140 silk as my scarf of the day to start the week. Glad I finally found one of these grails for myself.

Very very beautiful cw and what a glorous addition to your collection! Congratulations @Redbirdhermes-- I love the colors and your scarf is perfectly captured in the photo among the tress...Beautiful mod shot!

Thank you very much! My pleasure…

Wonderful scarves and I really like the Marwari horses on you!!

Thank you @Sammy Royal-- it is hard not to fall in love with this design over and over...

As a crazy cat owner, just can’t say no to Le Chat

What a beautiful cw @ivy1026! I am not a cat owner and I could not say no either-- it is charming with the yellow hem...

A very fun hem…

View attachment 5686570View attachment 5686571View attachment 5686572

Lovely @Pirula and so nicely tied and paired-- this is the one we are all urging @Nomad to keep! This post is perfectly persuasive! One of the best candy cane hems ever...

I too am a crazy cat owner and fell in love with the chartreuse contract hem on Le Chat 06.

Wow @MAGJES-- another beautiful Le Chat! Which cw is this? I love that hem and the interior cat colors are so lovely and dramatic. Great contrast.

Green is fabulous on you. Especially the Marwari.

Thank you @Maedi-- I came very close to being your twin (the coral and brown if I am not mis-remembering?) but am happy to be your emerald green sister!

This Marwari shawl is STUNNING on you, LKBNOLA. These shades of green (in all three pics) suit you beautifully.

Thank you @Ladybaga-- that is just the nicest reassurance to a scarfie exploring a new color for her closet!

I'll admit I didn't "get" the green hem on Omnibus Remix, at first. Now, I'd miss that palate-cleansing accent if it were gone.

This is such a fabulous graphic wonder of a scarf and that green hem just seals the deal @Langsam. So nice to see you here. I love this paired with burgundy, too.

 

[LKBNOLA]

@Karenska - thanks for a wonderful intro. Here is my Toucans, which featues a beautiful cranberry red.

Beautiful @Awillow-- love this cw on you and the hem is very lovely in that cranberry picking up the feather striations...

I am sisters and/or twins with so many lovely silks already shown because whose heart doesn't beat faster for a bodacious border or a happy hem? Sharing an archive shot of La Jardin de la Maharani with its fabulous parade of animals along the border...

hahah - fabulous intro Karenska! (though now I have an ear worm going with Nelly's 'Hot in Herre' )

We do love a bodacious border and a fun hem!

ohmygosh - congratulations! Such a stunning design and a lovely colorway you've found!

A perfect hem! Chorus Stellarum in vert vif/rose/multi. I love this beauty so much…

PINK!!!

Still feeling and looking terrible but here’s a shot of the strong border of Selle des Steppes (and Bobby trying to get between my arm and my torso)

View attachment 5686471

That is a bodacious border, and awww Bobby is such a darling!

Great memory @MAGJES ! I do own the JL bee jacquard, I’m not sure if I’m twins with @Redbirdhermes as mine is the hot pink version yet photographs more red. I struggle with wearing this one as I’m intimidated by the sheer white space but it isn’t one I see myself able to chop.

Don't chop. It's beautiful, calm yet vivid and so unique in this hot pink.

Thank you @Maedi! I will resolve to mastering this one and giving it more wear

This is beautiful on you @Foxy trini . The pink and white are really flattering on you.

Thanks so much @Lellabelle ! Definitely am a pink fan especially hot pink
