Hermes scarf

[SnowBells]

I'm thinking of treating myself to an Hermes scarf at the end of the month.

Does anyone have any experience with this - and what you find more practical… the 90cm ones or the 70cm ones?

Marking place, always fancied one myself

Have you looked at //www.maitaispicturebook.com ?
She writes a blog about Hermes scarves !

I'm addicted to her blog. But just wanted to see whether anyone has any experience as to what is more practical in daily life.

As a general rule, bigger is better with scarves, IMHO.

[Lavenderhoney]

The 90cm is better IMO as you can do more with it.

When you go to the shop, try both sizes and see what you like. It depends on how you plan to wear it- tucked neatly or pashmina style. I like mine to drape a bit:)

[vitaminC]

I have lots of silk scarves (not Hermès) and I prefer the larger squares as more versatile.
Please report back on your purchase

Definatley 90cms it draps beautifully and looks good with a scarf ring that bit extra length makes all the difference.

[SnowBells]

90cm it is then. Will report back!!!

[PigWhisperer]

How lovely!

I would ask to see both and see what suits you. I know some friends who feel a bit "drowned" by the 90cm, but I like them that size. Make sure you try it on and tie it before you decide.

Have you got your eye on a particular design?

on page 135 of this thread they have some of the spring designs

whoops

Oh, PigWhisperer - they are sooo gorgeous. Better not tempt me to buy more than one!!!

What will probably happen is I will buy one, wait for a few months (as otherwise, DH will think I've gone off the rails - it has happened before, so he's a bit cautious now), and then get another later in the year. So I may well end up with a 90cm and a 70cm, if I'm lucky.

I also really want a Hermes enamel bracelet… if DH ever reads this he really will think I'm at it again…

90, definitely.
Hermes are lovely, quite heavy silk ,drape beautifully but really mark in the rain.

Might be good to bear in mind these days.

[SnowBells]

Huh? The scarves are much cheaper (about £30 cheaper) when bought from Europe...

[MrsSchadenfreude]

I have one - mine's the 90cm one. If you are ever in Paris, you can pick one up for around 100-150 euros from one of the Depot-Vente shops (like an upmarket second hand shop) in the 16th, 17th, 8th or 7th arrondissements.

[SnowBells]

Ladies… I'm guilty.

I bought two 90cm scarves.

One is an older, but very classic Hermes design. And the other is from this season's collection.

Annoyingly, they seem to have sold out of one in a color I wanted.

But gosh, they are addictive. They seem to upgrade your outfit ridiculously well. I am thinking of getting another , but may wait for next season's scarves.

[golfergirl28]

I have one but never know how to wear it. How do you wear yours? I've looked at the online tutorials but nothing looks right. I wonder if my neck is too short?

[Puddles1234]

I only buy the 90cm ones they are gorgeous. And yes very addictive.

Which ones did you purchase?!

[Puddles1234]

I also have some of the 140cm ones they are perfect for a more relaxed style.

[bettykt]

Any links as to which ones you bought? You've made me look at their website and I like this one

[SnowBells]

The older design is the one this girl in this blog bought. Exactly the same color and everything.

The newer design turns out to be not from this season but last… it's still available on the website, and is very colorful - click here.

[SnowBells]

I really want the Hermes Della Cavalleria scarf though.

Not on the website. But I thought it should have been available by now (Spring/Summer 2014).

[Mignonette]

*I have a 90cm classic Pucci scarf from the 70's that belonged to my Mother. it is such a versatile size.

Go for it OP.

[SnowBells]

Puddles1234 I'd love to have a 140cm one. Will save that for a special milestone...

Oh… I wish I hadn't have clicked on this thread They are lovely!
