So pretty and what a lovely tribute, Maedi.Inspired by @Jacq1 , I searched for this scarf, Fleurs de montagne . Off topic but flowers from the mountains were around me as I grew up and another homage to my relatives who were mountain climbers and aficionados. The Edelweiss is so precious.

Looking forward to this week, very much!!!
Thank you, Lkb. I also had on a tan cashmere collarless cardigan but it was so warm in the restaurant, I had to shed it. Wish I had it on for the photo.@Maedi, congratulations on a successful hunt! This is beautiful, the florals really do seem to float on the lovely center field and the red border adds a happy pop! I remember bookmarking @Jacq1's photo also, as the the design. was not familiar... What a great addition for you, with symbolic and sentimental resonance.
I am always happy to hear my mod shots and pics bring a smile -- and even some enablement@Katharina Luise! ICan't wait to see what you added while on hiatus. I was lucky with the blue Fleuve-- the size was not clear-- I think others thought it was a 90 and passed it by, even though the condition was excellent and the price very "friendly" as they say...
Thank you @Karenska! And I think sunglasses -- especially if oversized--are a sure way to add some glam (or at least hide a multitude of not-so-glam reality!). You are looking very casually chic in Bouquets Sellier and I hope the party was fun!
Thank you so much! The KeP was my first 140 silk-- so it has a special place in my 🧡 @Croisette7. Love yours-- especially the steely grey one you showed recently.
Such beautiful styling on all of these!Welcome to @Karenska and a week of enjoying the hems and borders of our beautiful scarves. Following your lead I thought about the hems of my scarves. I came to realize that if a scarf has a red contrast hem then it is bound to be a favorite.
One of my earliest purchases with a red hem was Act III, Scene I, La Clairiere

Today it is a very cold -13 F (that's -25 C) and I'm happy that my recent order of new wool sweaters has arrived in the mail. This warm top pairs nicely with my Voitures en Equilibre shawl with its red hem.

Greetings, dear Scarfies, and welcome to our third theme of the year! Many thank to @HermesEchidna for hosting Clever Hands and @bunnycat for hosting Fresh Start to begin the New Year 2025. Now that we are here, let’s celebrate one of the truly wonderful aspects of the Hermès
scarf, the beautiful edges that adorn so many designs.
Hems, Borders, Fringes: Beautiful Edges
Today Hems. The Hermès hem is a thing of beauty. Hemmed from back to front, it is handstitched evenly, round and plump and it is never ironed flat.
Two newer scarves.

Look how beautifully the hems are on this much older one, Axis Mundi.

And even vintage scarves can retain their plump hems if cared for properly. My two oldest scarves, L’Hiver and La Comedie Italienne.

Looking forward to this week, very much!!!
Thank you @Jereni! Yes,, definitely a phew moment with that Ors Bleu. 😥 And I think you would love that soft pink/orange and grey PdM! The blue faux fur was a Holiday Gift Bazaar purchase at my DD'd workplace-- it is warm, pretty cute and scarf friendly...Congrats on the new in! That’s a very versatile and elegant colorway. Glad it worked out given that there was no return option!
Oh wow that PdM 😍 that might have just been added to my list. And that blue fur coat!!! I am besotted.
Thank you so much @Karenska-- just an Edot knot to showcase that red hem!Thank you @Jereni-- yes definitely a Yes, very dramatic and so pretty! I love how you tied PP.
I love my Hermes design borders! Here we go! First the pieces that I thought of right off the top of my head, and then the pieces I found as I visited my scarves this morning! Of course, I immediately thought of Aline Honore. Annie Faivre, and the Ardmore Artists, so I will start with some of their designs.
The next shawls were other pieces I thought of immediately, Le Jaguar de et Colibri and Colliers de Chien. The later was my first slip down the slope of buying multiple color ways of a shawl with a great border! After climbing back up that slope I slipped down a few years later BUT with just two designs, AF's Maharajas, and more recently Jaguar.
Wowza-- these are beautiful examples!!! You are making me wish I was not away from my scarves temporarily so I could do a similar visit! Love your Tapis Volant, Sous le Cedre and well...any of these I am not your twin or sister on @vildachya -- stay warm!!!Last but not least, what I found today as I visited my scarves, after all what else does one do when they are hunkered down waiting for the snow to start? All are 35 inches and twills, except the last which is c/: Charmes des Plages Normandes, Sous le Cadre, Turandot, Les Jardins d;Andalousie, Axis Mundi and Tapis Volant.
A gorgeous collex of red hems @Redbirdhermes! I have been very grateful for warm sweaters this winter also. 🥶Welcome to @Karenska and a week of enjoying the hems and borders of our beautiful scarves.

Yes!! Exactly @orchard-- and here not only a vibrant contrast hem but that fabulous border as well!Jardin de la Maharani was the first design I thought of, love the animals running around the border.
Hello Jereni, thank you so much for your nice compliments! And yes, I made the sweaters, but if you knit them, you never really know how they will come out. 😬 These two are the type "rather successful".😁Sorry for the long multi-quote…
Wow how absolutely glorious!!! The shading and the textures are divine, congrats!
Beautiful scarf of course but I also love the texture of your sweater, it’s amazing.
Aaaah so beautiful. This is the cw of Orto that has tempted me the most. Looks lovely on you.
Congrats on the new in! That’s a very versatile and elegant colorway. Glad it worked out given that there was no return option!
Thanks for sharing this amazing series of feathered beauties! Twins n the one JQ, and I’m so smitten with your Plumes shawl - what magnificent colors.
Thank you for sharing! This is an amazing collection that you have. It’s a design that ties so well.
Gorgeous and congrats on this!
Love this design and omg KITTIES!!! 😍 They are all beautiful.

Oh congrats!!! I love this cw of this shawl, I came close to getting it back when it came out. Looks gorgeous on you!
Welcome back! You look radiant. I’m glad you are feeling better.
Another epic sweater!!! Do you make these? The scarf is a perfect match for it.
Love this happy happy colorway!
Very lovely! We don’t get to see this cw much, thank you for sharing.

I have not seen Edelweiss in tea. How splendid! If we didn’t live on different continents we could take care of the scarf on drink situation 🥰.Hello @Maedi, I'm also fond of Edelweiss, I even drink it! So, wearing this scarf while savouring the tea and making a selfie of it would make it... a scarf on drink (vs on site)?🤣
