Full weekly 2024 scarf-theme calendar is available here

When I first saw this mousseline on this thread, I wanted to have it instantly and looked for it online and in the H boutiques, but it was not available in my country. Months later it appeared on reseller sites, at horrendous prices - no way for me. Then, some weeks ago, there was one in mint condition with tags at a reasonable price and I asked for the opinion of @Cookiefiend and @LKBNOLA regarding its versatility and after their enthousiastic replies I bought it.
I award Jungle Love 140 mousseline the Oscarf for the Most Ethereal Wildlife Love Story. It is just tremendous, I love it!
To all of you, a happy Night of New Year's Eve! I am so proud to have found the courage to join this amazing community and thank you all of your friendly welcome!View attachment 6109458View attachment 6109459View attachment 6109460

It’s beautiful with your grey festive sweater and what a fun hunting story. I am so glad you decided to join this community. Happy Silvester und guten Rutsch.

[Cookiefiend]

Good evening!!

This year have been a year of many attempts to not add scarves to the collection - all of Them has been remarkably unsuccesful. It seems like all the designs I have been looking for for years decided to just waltz by and tempt me in 2024.
A few of the nominees for personal grail of the year are
Voyages de Pytheas, Shackleton and Cosmographia universalis. I might have reached my quota of fantastic pink worlds

My sotd was Mystere au 24 - one of the few I picked up from the store this year besides the avalanche of preloved treasure hunting.
View attachment 6109060
I wore it to meet a friend to have a last minute peek at the H store today.
The result: I Can now definitively point to the winner of My Last Scarf of the Year.
Heavily inspired by many of you and with a sigh of relief of the background color being silvery and not white, I brought home Emile et une nuit. Really no one would have believed I could resist those lovely creatures and colors…

Tomorrow will be a day of intensive cooking and eventually celebrating with Good friends, so this is my last post this year. Thank you all for your kind words, compliments and wonderful and effective enablement - I wish you all a very happy New Year!!!

Marvelous - it is a stunning design!

 

[Cookiefiend]

So very beautiful and your gorgeous exotic bracelet is *chef's kiss* @Croisette7-- I am thrilled to be your twin...

Gorgeous Quadrige moussie-- definitely Oscarf worthy @Cookiefiend! 🥂

It is a wonderful opera for children of all ages, as they say @GloWW0rM! I am glad you and they enjoyed yourselves...

You look lovely and cozy @Helena7!

Amazing! Congratulations on all of them and I especially enjoyed seeing your two SS25 new-ins @Redbirdhermes! Livre d'Esop is very high on my list-- I am so eager to see colorways-- does yours actually have a pink elephant? And the picnic scarf!!! Just wonderful.

Thank you @xincinsin for hosting the Oscarfs Week. and for sharing your three amazing grails!!! All three are beautiful -- the color on your Jardin d'Armenie is striking and I never knew that there was another L'Arbre de Vie! Of course the de Poret is the subject of many a scarf collector's dreams...

Thank you so much!

I love Oscarf Week because it is such a great prelude to New Year's Scarf Resolutions. Now I can look back and see all the resolutions I failed to keep from 2024 while at the same time, giving myself awards for the bounty all those broken rules yielded!!!

But here's my first category, which is nothing but pure joy and the satisfaction of a long hunt finally yielding silk gold...
Oscarfs for Holy Grails Acquired in 2024

Sieste au Paradis CSGM

Fantastic- your Seiste is stunning!

Good morning and happy Awards Week, Scarflandia! I was visiting with my older grandchildren last night and had some help showcasing my Oscarf for Best Design 2024: Sous le Charme d'Orphee. This year I acquired another cw of the beautiful silk double face (twins with @Jereni and @Cookiefiend) as well as my favorite CSGM, the beautiful terracotta, cobalt blue and grey CSGM. Later in the season my DD and I decided that the caramel was not to be resisted so we are sharing that, which is in her rotation at the moment (she also acquired the blue-- so our Orphee love is a family affair 💙🧡). Thank you for indulging my collage addiction!

It is such a great design! I didn’t know we were twins with the 90! Yay!

Oooo a tough one! I would chose Ecole for its marvelous color.

Wow to this moussie in its glorious colors.

❤️❤️❤️

2024 was the year that I finally embraced the CSGM. Four have entered the collection, including the two on the right that haven't been worn yet.

Here are the nominees for CSGM of the Year.

From Left to Right we have:

Voitures en Equilibre - Daiske Nomura

I'm a big Nomura fan, and I was eyeing the little dragon cart in the 45 version for ages. I finally decided to go big with this design.

Le Livre d'Esope - Matthieu Cosse

This pretty arrived yesterday, and yes, @LKBNOLA, there is a pink elephant.

View attachment 6109076View attachment 6109072


High Flyer - Dimitri Rybaltchenko

I've been wanting this cockpit shawl for ages, and it finally came along in my favorite colorway. While this is a helicopter, the cockpit is not unlike the small aircraft that I flew. I'm looking forward to wearing this scarf a lot.

Sous le Charme d'Orphee - Alice Shirley

After finally succumbing and obtaining two of the double face 90s in the second half of the year, I hurried to pick out a CSGM before they were sold out. This is a very special design.

View attachment 6109073

It turns out that I wear the Voitures en Equilibre nearly every time I leave the house. So far our winter weather has been mild, having gone below 0 F only once. To answer @darkstar66, we had several inches of snow for Christmas but it has all melted away. My Voitures has turned into an everyday workhorse.

The Oscarf for the CSGM of the Year, being the Most Worn Scarf this winter, is Voitures en Equilibre. Here is my scarf of the day mod shot.

It’s such a great designs, totally deserving of an Oscarf!

Ohmigoodness - gorgeous. It’s just a masterpiece in this cw (my opinion o’course), it goes with everything!

On this last day of the year, I am taking a long look back at the scarves that were issued last century that were added to the collection during 2024.

Oscarf nominees for the Best of the 20th Century include:

Mont Sainct Michel - 1947

Les Merveilles de la Vapeur - 1959

View attachment 6109331View attachment 6109332

The Oscarf for the Best of the 20th Century goes to Mont Sainct Michel, a holy grail that I never expected to find. Delighted to be wearing it as my scarf of the day for the last day of 2024. Happy New Year, Everyone!

View attachment 6109526

Excellent choice - I love this scarf!

Today I will go with various ‘grail’ Oscarfs:

Winner of Best Mini Grail goes to Minuit au Faubourg. These colors are my absolute DREAM.
View attachment 6109549

Best ‘Patience is a Virtue’ Grail goes to Jaguar Quetzal. I stalked this for awhile from a reputable eBay seller but it had a prominent mark on it and I just didn’t want to pay anywhere close to retail for that. And eventually it popped up on TRR for less and with no imperfections, yay!
View attachment 6109550


Most Nerve-wracking Grail Acquisition is awarded to my long coveted Acte III 90. Hadn’t seen this anywhere for months, nabbed it for under retail on Vestiaire, it arrived in a rainstorm while I was on travel and I had to coordinate with my dad (from Budapest no less) to come over and open it and air it out so it wasn’t ruined. Phew!
View attachment 6109552

Most Unexpected Holy Grail goes to … Maîtres de la Foret, which I’d given up on ever finding, but was tipped off to by a lovely TPF-er and now this beauty is mine!!!
View attachment 6109554

Love them all, and they’re perfect for you!

And this one gets a separate post but - coming in at the 11th hour of the 2024 Grail Year …. Biggest !Score! Grail is ye most epic of shawls…. Acte III!!! In the purple and pink! Snatched this off Vestiaire for almost half of current retail prices, ladies, and in never worn condition!!!! Over the moon as you can imagine (#seewhatididthere).

squeeeeeee - congratulations!

In 2024, I only bought one CSGM, but it was a long sought after design and cw. This was the shawl that made me discover Hermès shawls and scarves. I saw a photo of it online by chance somewhere, did my research and discovered the world of Hermès 😋 Unfortunately, it was already sold out everywhere at the time. I was thrilled when I found it this fall on the aftermarket in really good condition and for a reasonable price too.

So the Oscarf for favourite CSGM for 2024 goes to my coral Faubourg Tropical 🧡❤️🎉

I have been wearing it today and also earlier this week, on a city trip to The Hague, were I finally saw The girl with the pearl earring by Vermeer.

I wish you all a very happy New Years Eve dear scarfies, and al the happiness in the world for 2025 ❤️

Beautiful - the scarf, you, and the painting. ❤️

 

[Cookiefiend]

I’m having trouble picking favorites… 2024 was the year I really slid/jumped down the CSGM slide.
Will discuss those later!

But, I also found some lovely moussies!
So the Oscarf for Best Green Changeant goes to Tourbillons (really it’s so green, but sometimes the fuchsia gets bossy)

The Oscarf for Moussie in a Punch You in the Face Color goes to Urashima Taro in Rose VIF and fuchsia - really this color!!

I will revert back to Oscarf Mode by tomorrow but just popping in to thank the Scarf Mistresses and this whole community for another wonderful year of friendship, fun, beauty, companionship and interesting information relating not only to our passion for silks but just generally speaking-- I cannot express how much I appreciate this thread and each and every one of you. May 2025 bring peace, happiness, good health and of course, a wonderful continuation of each of our scarf journeys.
Going full on bright for a casual celebration this evening!

Happy New Year dear Scarfies!!!

 

[Maedi]

I struggle participating this week although I adore the theme and everyone’s selections and contributions. It’s hard for me to pick the one of the year but I will try.
This one was a late addition, sold out on US .com, overpriced and in limited color selections at the usual sites. When traveling over the summer, I was able to have it sent to me from the Euro .com site. Douze Léopards df in a ten minute window of sun rays.

 

[Marta_K]

Dear silky Friends
It is such a joy to be able to enjoy this thread, dear Scarfies, You are such a kind, generous, friendly, witty and diverse "crowd". Thank You all for that so much! May Year 2025 be healthy, peaceful and joyful to You all and to Your dearest and nearest, and may there be around You many wise and kind people. Sending You all big, big hugs!

I am so glad you found this. It’s fabulous on you and I am a little jealous. When it was issued, I remember talking myself out of it for its similarity to Jardin de Leila. I will celebrate it on you. Happy new year and a good slide into 2025 as we say. ❤️🎉🫶

 

[PoliticalGal]

This has been quite a year for scarf acquisitions for me as well! This is the first part of my scarf awards.

Most travelled scarf: ELEK - went home to the Philippines with me and on my Japan trip, sadly never got to use it but it's got the most "miles" in terms of travel!

View attachment 6109606

Oldest scarf (literally!): La Soiree a l'Opera - Soirée de Gala - I've been hunting for birth year scarves for each of my family members and found this 1950 original issue in mint condition!

View attachment 6109609

SOTD wins for ultimate grail, didn't expect to find it at all and in mint condition (although the price was way over retail). I'm so thrilled to finally have it! Parures de Samourais in the CW I've been dying to own!

View attachment 6109615

Thank you to our exceptional scarf mistresses for another wonderful year!

Happy new year fellow scarfies, here's to another year of more grail mail and new silky treasures! 🥂🥳 I've enjoyed all the posts and the sense of community in this thread. ❤️

All stunning!

 

[Teaforparrots]

And the Oscarf for Best Message Scarf is a “tie”! One scarf as armor when circumstances are generally disagreeable, and the other for when a specific individual is being disagreeable 😆
