7 May 2017 70 cm VINTAGE SILKS: “resting” away from the boutiques
Hermès declared (and not in jest)
“The vintage 70s need a rest.”
Now that they’re rare in the H boutique,
They’ll soon acquire a real mystique!
If you wear scarves AMs and PMs
Then you surely have some 70 cms
In inches, that’s 27.5 —
A
tres chic look for which we strive.
New 90 twills feel rather crispy —
Mousselines are light and wispy.
Vintage silks are soft like butter,
In a breeze they tend to flutter.
I like the way a 70 ties:
It’s such a useful, handy size;
Nice for when the weather’s hot,
Cute when you do a special knot.
Its softness makes a lovely drape,
But fold with care to keep its shape!
This week we’re going small (not shawl),
Let’s see your 70s, Scarfies all!
