I missed seeing your posts!! How have you been? And this is so niceee!!
Thank you so much my dear! I have been in Paris for the summer and I just returned to Asia. I'm in S'pore now for a few days (of more shopping).
My dear your craie bolide is so heavenly it is beyond words! I love a white bag and you look so elegant and radiant. Thank you for sharing this lovely moment in time with us.
thank you!This is the marine/marine version (ref H112927T 19). It's quite a dark navy in low light, a bit bluer in day, much like Bleu Nuit leather. The silk shell is Everlane (black), the culottes are Vince ("coastal blue"). It's a dark room and a soft mirror - I tried to lighten a bit but it's still darker than reality.
I didn't think I'd love this scarf and DH bought it for me sight unseen (by me). I've worn it a LOT. It doesn't scream "Hermès" which is kind of nice. And I LOVE 100 cm as a size!
OMG - this is my laziest scarf style. Literally it is a loose "handheld bias fold" (you hold the scarf up vertically by a corner and fold it in, rather than laying it down), then loop once around your neck. I'd be happy to post my "lazy scarf" tutorials but honestly...it takes about 15 seconds!
Ok let me see if i can try based on your description. Honestly my style is very laid back so how i usually tie a scarf is around the neck then knot the corners and have the scarf draping close to the neck in a kind of loose cowl neck way but then i find the knot creeping up to choke me! Your style looks like my kind of lazy way haha[emoji12]
Hold the scarf between two fingers, hanging down, by a corner you want to be at a visible end (keep the care label if it's still on at a "side" corner" to be folded in). Start folding in as you would a bias fold, but because you're just holding it vertically, it will fold loosely and try to kind of unroll outwards - just keep tucking it toward the middle so the outside corners will stay inside the fold. Fold until it's the width you want and grab it before it gets away from you
Now you should have a loose version of a classic bias fold. On a 100 or 90 cm you only need to wrap around your neck once, a larger scarf probably twice. Adjust the "tails" so the underside doesn't show, and tuck it all in so it stays as you like it. You're done 
If you will be in wind or want to keep it more secure you can tuck the ends in a scarf ring (which you can hide under the wrap) or knot them, but it won't be quite as casual. IMO this works best with overdyed/softer scarves like dip-dyes and cashmere blends, anything less slippery than a classic silk carré.
QF, you make sophistication sound effortless. A mark of a true elegance. I tip my hat to you. [emoji171]

QF, I think you may be inadvertently starting a "thing" here on tpf! My scarves often look too polished (IMO), and now I realize it's probably because I lie them down flat and fold them "properly." Definitely going to try it your way!
Out and about with my Noir Alligator Charniere bracelet...
Thanks so much for the details. I've really fallen in love with the scarf. I bought myself the LV Monogram Scarf in Night Blue a couple of weeks ago (such a beautiful shade of blue).... however... my husband is treating me to a long weekend in Hamburg in two weeks time (birthday gift) and I'm hoping to buy my first H necklace (the gorgeous Farandole) while I'm there and I may just add the marine/marine scarf to my list. Will keep you posted. Thanks again and have a great weekend.
