Hi dears,

i urgently need your opinion to that scarf (70*70 cm)

http://germany.hermes.com/la-maison...0-soie-70cm-parade-de-leonhardi-01-63155.html

I am not quite sure about it, but feel very attracted to it..

So, what do you think?

The description says, that this is a tribute scarf to Leonhardi, a Bavarian tradition, tributed to St. Leonhard the saint for animals, horses (yes they have a special place in the list) and farmers.

Uhhh, I am so unsure... quite Bavarian style... ummmm... Suggestions pleaaaase! If you vote for "yes" I'll call my H shop tomorrow. (and I hate calling;))

Well, I think it's pretty and looks great tied. Plus the 70s are just dreamy. But I don't know, I just posted something similar and should maybe take my own advice here: if you don't love it, don't get it.

Thank you Pirula, Bova, Vitamina and Arabesques for your kind words about my teeny mousseline! :flowers: All the beauties shown this week have me hankering to turn my onesie into a proper collection.

In an attempt to not have 300 scarves still in boxes my new rule is that if I don't 100% love it I don't buy it. If you want to collect it's one thing. If you want to use all of your scarves you should love it.

I've been running at breakneck speed all day (very unlike a dreamy elf...) and am one tired bunny now. Thank you P Pup, Croisette, Bova, BJS and JRT! I'm off for some CALMING tea now... :wacko:

Kathrin, I love this scarf, though I have it in a different color. It ties like a dream. But as others say, buy only the scarves you absolutely love. Collections grow out of control even when applying that rule.

Hi fellow scarf lovers. I have a favor to ask. I figured if anyone can help me, it will be the lovely people on this thread.
Does anyone have an original scarf from 1945? I came across one and I am trying to figure out it it's the original issue. Would you mind posting pictures of the logo?
Thank you!

Dear Pirula, dear Pocketbook Pup, dear arabesques: thank you SO much for your answer and especially for the pictures! I made "hüaaaaaaaaa" seeing the worn scarf.
As I am totally new to the orange side of life, I try to stick to that rule as well- actually I thought, I would be fine having one maxi twilly, a week later I called the store and bougt the second one... and the rest is history ;) My wishlist grows on a daily basis (atually the Kawaii bracelets are online.... I starred at them yesterday for a long time). I am not a collector-type when it comes to scarfs, shoes or bags, I am an "use and carry around"-type. So your advice, only to buy the things I totally love was really the one, that helped me making my decision: I lovelovelove that scarf. I need to have it (especially after I saw it on you dear arabesques!).

The only moment I had about that scarf was, that beeing a true Bavarian (yes,!) living in a very small Bavarian village where St. Leonhardi takes place (and it is a hughe thing over here) I am feeling a little bit reluctant about carrying my Bavarian soul too much outside of my body... Hard to describe... I love Bavaria from the buttom of my heart, but sometimes the traditional way of living here causes me serious headaches and moments of frustration. So it was not about the design, it was about me.
So I'll call the shop today, will pick up the scarf in a few weeks and then provide you with pictures of the "welcome home scarf"-day.

Thank you so much!

For arabesques: here are a few pictures, how St. Leonhardi looks like here (which means the place I live, the pictures are from the village I live):*

* and yes, they do wear those clothes on a regular basis. I swear!!!
