It's great if people want to share their collecting stories - perhaps start your own collection threads? If this thread could return to the topic of 2017 scarves it would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is stunning! Your photos are beautiful. Im a sucker for the ex libris design and for 140 silks. My store still hasn't received some of the designs including this one. Congratulations on it.

I started collecting 3-4 years ago. I didn't know there were seasons and scarves changed or anything. Then I found Mai tai's blog. Then tpf and tango tosca's thread. And scarf of the day. So I have a lot from the past few years and then older designs that I bought online. You can often find brand new pristine scarves for resale. You just have to keep looking. But now I have more than I can possibly wear. Which makes me sad. I don't want them to sit in a drawer unused. So I am trying to narrow my choices to those that are showstoppers or those that complete an outfit in my wardrobe. And I have to realize that just because I appreciate something doesn't mean I need to own it. I'm also gradually editing out those that I don't wear often. I think a lot of collectors go through this process.

Back to spring 2017, there are so many nice designs coming. I'm sure to go over my 100 limit. [emoji51]

Thanks so sweet of you PbP! I like your story and thanks for sharing it with us. although i started scarves collection just few years ago but I am already hooked into it and the 'number' just growing fast (while my bank account figure going opposite direction)[emoji23] I love the idea under 100, less is more, i hope i can resist 2017 collection [emoji16]

I think it's really easy to go overboard initially b/c they are so different and beautiful. I got close to 200 within a rather short time when I first started back in the 80s. That was too much. There was inevitably some I liked more than others, especially if later in the season a more desirable cw came out, then I'd have doubles. I could easily bop into the 2 NM in this area and scan the case without the serious SA attention (= sales pressure) that comes with the boutique. It was easy to go for every cw on some, Paris Modiste, for example. I don't do that anymore. I want to use and wear them, not collect for the sake of collecting.
So when ebay came along (and I didn't join for some time), I used it like others to purge and rebuild over and over, between the boutique, NM and ebay. Last year I bought maybe 1 or 2 HS. And lived!!!!! I've gotten some this year but I am not driven to get them the way I was initially. It's a relief. There are only so many reissues of Chasse en Inde that one can get exited about. Moreover, I never really got into the CDC until this year. Although I don't have many, I really like them, and hey, as we all know, more is better. [emoji3]

I wonder if one can really tell what their true preferences are until they've experienced a few seasons . . . It's a question of going from "everyone is wonderful" to "these two are reallly wonderful." Plus color preferences change over time. Citron didn't seem to exist prior to the last few years. Of course, chartreuse did, and that was fine, but I really got into jaune vif big time (which equals about 5 HS, not so bad, and all were different). And there seem to be so many interesting variations on blue and blue-green lately that i haven't seen before.

Truly lovely!
I saw the darker CW yesterday in my store (the stripes are black) and it is stunning. Mostly white scarves scare me (I'm clumsy!), but it is spectacular.

I do not manage to post it, but Anna dello Russo posted a press day Photo on Instagram. There Is a giant Savanna Dance and a giant Aloha and some more.
This means more pictures to pop up soon.
And last year I was the first to post a scarf from SS16, I got a Zambese at the end of November 2015 in Vienna.
Head out everybody and investigate!
