First purchase was in 2018, a clic clac in Rose Azalée in GHW. I was so thrilled to finally something that fit my tiny wrists! And on the same visit a Jaguar Quetzel 90 scarf, as I love cats, especially big cats. Unfortunately, I discovered I am not really a scarf person, but I still love this scarf and periodically take it out just to admire it

Thank you.OT, but I must say that the genuine kindness and helpfulness with which you responded to this other member is so nice to see! Love the energy.
In 2003, I visited Paris with my father, DH and kids (then 5 and 7). We were staying in the 8th not far from the George V boutique. My father, who often wore H ties and always gave the women in his life H scarves on special occasions, encouraged me to look at the Vibrato Herbag which I ended up purchasing with a small bequest from his mother…he said she would have been thrilled. Still have it; still carry it.
