Scarves Scarf of The Day 2024 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?
- Thread starter papertiger
- Start date
In my flurry of purchases back in February/March to celebrate my 50th birthday, I picked up some Grails - the Space Shopping I showed earlier and this gorgeous Special Edition Le Voyage de Pythéas by Aline Honore which came with its own booklet. It is one of the purchases that landed me a painful little stay on Ban Island. Worth it!!
I love the mosaic border and thankful for all of you who are twins and sisters on this one who have shared photos over the years of this beauty. Your enabled me! It was always that border that drew me in and then I fell in love with the variety of animals depicted and the story of the voyage of exploration and scientific discovery. And then lo and behold! I discovered one at a very fair price and pounced!
Bonus picture of my newfie puppers when she was just a tiny babe. Somehow her little face was in the same photo download batch. She's on theme to match the Petit Ours Brun on the scarf - newfies are such snuggly fluffy teddy bears -- aaaaaaand her kind is bred to perform water rescues for seafarers who fall overboard. Hopefully Pytheas and his crew never needed one.
Happy Friday to you all!

These are really pretty colors @Sickgrl13 -- I have only ever tried one jersey scarf and could not make it work...
Loooooove the colors in this one @Croisette7-- I think it is such a wonderful design.
Well @Agrume I think I have had some interim scarf mail that will at least postpone a major crime in my future. I love your gavroche-- even though I have a 90 I bought a gav of this design, too-- it is just irresistible! I love the Rilke that you posted-- do you happen to know the translator? I am struck by the end rhymes which show a pretty graceful attempt to stay faithful to the German...thank you for posting it!
Gorgeous colors @Redbirdhermes-- big congratulations on your find.
Thank you @Jereni-- that cw of A la Gloire de Guillaume is remarkably similar to the actual tapestry, in my opinion. Your new ELeK is just lovely -- you must be so pleased to have it!
It is so fun to see scarves with a French connection and a the fun of games, too @Living.la.vida.fifi! Your Biarritz is so lovely...and thank you for the comment on A la Gloire (we are twins I believe!).
I love these @mktlim-- especially love your tie for Grand Apparat.
Congratulations @EtsyBoss! I have this in gavroche size and I love it. I am glad you still have all your organs AND a lovely scarf!
We do understand absolutely as many of us must have had similar post office interactions! The yellow artisans is one you should wear frequently as it looks fabulous on you! Great selection of France-themed scarves in your post and your delight is quite contagious @Helena7!!!!
Thank you so much for all the comments and likes!
All amazing silks but especially that bright London/Paris… such a special design and a great pop of color
Wow! Incredible collection! Great to have the marvelous Grand Theatre in that amazing CW in two formats!
What a great CW!As many of you will know, Lascaux is a network of caves in southwestern France, in the Dordogne, and this scarf called "Premieres Mains" by Zoe Pauwels from 2002, is based on the renowned cave drawings there and perhaps drawings from some other caves as well. This scarf followed the one called "Grotte de Lascaux" by Hugo Grykar in 1954 and I wonder if any TPFers have that version! Twins with @LKBNOLA and @Karenska who were my enablers on this, and sisters with several others. I just love this design!View attachment 5998519
You looks amazing… and so elegant!
These are two marvelous CWs of Flanerie
Oh, such a beauty! What a gorgeous CW of this special design!
I love what you did here!I’m hopelessly behind but enjoying scrolling through to catch up on all your silky lovelies
Here’s today’s twilly mashup!

This is such a delightful design…
So springlike in this CW
Amazing CW of this delightful design
Oh, how special this is… Not only such an amazing design but you got it in Paris! The best memento
My heavens! This is fabulous! The jacquard is spectacular and these are the best unicorns! This is the first time I see this!
Another wonderful silken collage! And, congrats on this beauty! It is magnificent and pairs beautifully with so much!Happy Friday, Scarflandia! I am traveling again through Monday, but even if I were not, I am running out of week for all my on theme options! So today I am sharing a collage of Paris archive shots-- four 70s and two "maps."

But I am overjoyed to share my scarf mail-- Grail Mail, in fact! Happily UPS delivered it just in time for me to try it on yesterday evening. It needs a bath and it has a very small run alongside the hem, but I have waited so very very long to add this cw to my Sieste au Paradis "family" that I am delighted to welcome her into the fold. And it will come as a great relief to @Agrume that I will no longer be feeling quite as much urgency to don my cat burglar clothes and break into her scarf closet for cw 03!!!!! We can add another pin to the Calanques region...

Wavingto my inspiration and twins @Croisette7 and @Living.la.vida.fifi and probably many others!
My heavens, so striking!
This is fascinating! Unbelievable how you found this detail!
Love them ALL! I guess that my dav is Promenades with that amazing hem, but I also adore the Cite Cavaliere in the “CW that got away” for me
Adore this CW!! And the serendipity of the manicure!
Just look at the map! Lovely silkScarf mail today, and on topic, so a quick photo before doing some rehabilitation works. Alsace, with, of course, storks.

Love this look! What a lovely Wedgwood brooch!
Wow! Talk about filling up the map! Amazing rarities and beauties
Marvelous silks, all!
Oh my! Had never seen this marvelous CW!For you, @CedarWaxWing
A lucky find from 2 years ago. I wasn't ĺooking for Grotte de Lascaux but it hovered into view at a very good price (relatively speaking, and using H maths). We should do a theme with H maths
Another scarfie has this. I know I was inspired by someone here to buy it.

What glorious CWs of these very special designs!
Geez you have THREE Cavalcade de Mai! If only we could petition H a multicolor version! Lovely as a finesse, but given the Duc de Berry’s book and its illustrations it merits to be in full color… I am always in awe of your varied and rare collectionFriday night and I'm finally out of the office.
Pulling a few France-based designs out of my pic library.

Cavalcade de Mai in 3 cws, based on the Book of Hours commissioned by the Duke of Berry in the 15th century. All finesse. How I wish H had done this in full colour

That Biarritz! One of my very favorite CWs! Sigh..
Love them both but especially that red CW of Herbier
Gorgeous!
Oh what a special silk! Lovely limited edition but nothing beats that cute pup!
Huile Rafrachissante celebrates the French perfume industry which is largely centered in the city of Grasse
Ludovicus Magnus honors Le Roy Soleil and features an equestrian portrait of the king at its center, much like the majestic statue at the entrance of le Château de Versailles and this medallion in Versaille’s War Room
Another homage to King Louis XIV, Les Fetes du Roy Soleil, depicts courtiers and performers for one of the grand spectacles or fetes galantes at the Court of Versailles. The illustration depicts the regalia worn at these celebrations
Inspired by the prehistoric Caves of Lascaux, Premieres Mains
Promenade de Longchamps
Faubourg Tropical presenta a fantastical vision of Hermès’ FSH boutique as if in a tropical jungle setting
Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes began in Paris
And, now, the scarves I wore yesterday and today, which are actually off topic…
I wore Tapis Persans to see the magnificent Diana Ross in concert
And, today I went to see Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes at the movies… I was wearing La Voie Lactee moussie stole but had to throw on a Sabina Savage shawl for the frigid movie theater AC
