Scarves The Hermès Spring Summer 2018 Scarves

[Mandycharlie]

This is a very beautiful scarf but given there is no apparent extra handiwork or explanation/story given on the new-fangled UK website and given that H are all about using "up to forty colours" per scarf anyway (hmmm), I can't see the justification for the price difference. I miss the stories behind each scarf, they completed the picture to my mind. The new website just seems to want to hard sell without attention to the rest of what makes their scarves so special. I was interested to watch the video last night on their scarves being machine-printed; at least it puts the "each scarf is lovingly hand printed" story to bed. Maybe this one is, hence the higher price? Just a thought.

Yes, I thought that with their video of industrialised production.

Just a point to make about different cws highlighting or even diminishing certain aspects of a design. I had an issue trying to find Aline Honoré’s signature on cw05 of the Samourais GM. It’s nearly impossible to see! I had to refer to a different cw to find it.

Here is a photo of the signature in cw06. I am lazy so I am showing you that it’s just a zoom-in of a full shot of the shawl - but still very easy to see:



Now here is a close-up of the signature in cw05. Still very hard to see:

Coffee, on a second look, I must agree. It's got an undeniable ratty vibe.
I stand corrected.
Can someone post a close-up of the snail? I love snails.

Love this! I hope they make this design into a scarf. (Don't have much use for beach towels).

I think I want this in purple. I have it in blue, which I love, but after looking at yours, I feel like my blue one looks more serious. It is probably just in my head but the faces of the cards in purple look so Rococo, so playful, which isn't the feeling I get from my blue one. Love this. Congrats!!

I took a pic outside for You, if You are considering this CW as well. I love the blue CW though.

I have been so blown away by all the beautiful shots shared in this thread. This is my first time posting in this thread and want to also share my love of robe du soir

I find this scarf really elegant and am so tempted to get the other cw (not to say that I am also very tempted by samourais).

I love it and the scarf ring is a totally perfect. What an elegant scarf!

Here is my vert vertigo Evelyne which is a true green, kind of like a green crayon (not blue-ish or teal at all) sitting on top of the silk:

It’s done using a special Japanese printing technique which is why it’s considered “exceptional” and has an exceptional price tag. I really love the way this looks, but I was told that it will not be offered in the U.S. sad face

I found this video on “marbling” silk scarves on the Dharma Trading site. “It’s a great project for kids, small parties, and classes.” You can make it a DIY project, or buy one for $20 or so. I’m thinking the Hermes marbled scarves are considered exceptional because.... they’re Hermes!!

Thanks lala28 for the explanation. If there was one on the website perhaps customers could be more enlightened! [emoji6]

Thanks HNN! I have seen marbling before (mainly on paper though). I would never have guessed that this is how this scarf had been produced....every day is a learning day! [emoji16]
