Challenge - Trying to track down lost scarf which was a present

23 replies

shivs1974 · 26/08/2014 11:22

So I was given a rather lovely scarf for my 40th which I've managed to lose following a rather large night out. I don't want to let the person who gave it to me know that I've lost it....but as I'd only had it a few days and only worn it once, I don't have much to go on.
It was white, blue & red and I think made out of cotton. Round the edge it said "Faith Love Boss" and maybe a few other words. I believe it was from BCBG (pretty sure the label said BCB) and that she probably got it from TK Maxx. I've googled like crazy, retraced my steps but can't locate it.
Any ideas??

Thank you for hunting for something similar...unfortunately it's not. It's more white/cream and the centre part is red, blue and yellow. The wording, in black, is just on the edge.

Bump - can anyone help?

Can you use social media? are you trying to find THE scarf, or find one like it?
If you are trying to find it, do any of your friends from the 'night out' use Twitter? BBC local radio? Local rags? I know this might alert the buyer of the gift but on the other hand you might find it....

Googled Faith, Love, Boss and look what I've found!

You guessed correctly - I am trying to find THE scarf. So far we've used Twitter...don't want to use FB as it's feels that bit more visible. I've retraced my steps, been back into the venue but no luck. I have a feeling that someone has picked it up :-(

When I think of Rooney, those are three words that I would NOT use to describe him ;-)

So it was definitely not produced by BCBG....anyone any other ideas?

Have you looked at all the scarves on www.bcbg.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BCBG-Site/en_GB/Search-Show?cgid=accessories-hats

Any of those?

Thank you...yes, I'd checked there and just resorted to calling the customer relations team in the US. They confirmed, as did their London store, that it isn't their style...so I have no idea!

Was hoping someone might recognise my description....I think I'm going to have to tell her....

Could it be Hugo Boss?

No, definitely not. The label was two or three letters, nothing I'd heard of.
Just checked Hugo Boss site and it's not on there. Ahhhhhh!

Are there any pictures around (even if you're in the background) where you were wearing it? Or from when you were opening presents and it's nearby?

Ring up the TK Maxx your friend is most likely to have got it from and describe it to them?

Good idea re photo...there's one of me on Facebook in a tuk tuk. Will see if I can add to my profile

Photo now added to my profile - hopefully you can see it.

Neena28 · 28/08/2014 11:45

I can't see the photo? Might be just me though. Have you tried calling your local tkmaxx? Or the one that would be local to your friend?

Ah that's frustrating...I checked my profile and it says it's on there. I've called the local tk maxx but she travels to London a lot so it could be one of many. Thanks for trying to have a look

I can see it under your profile in your photos. It isn't a very clear photo though (but the tuk tuk looks fun!).

TK Maxx stock a brand called BCBGeneration - I don't know of this is anything to do with the BCBG brand but could it be by the former?

Sorry..that's the only photo and when automatically resized it has obviously got less clear!
I think I'm going to wait for her to tell my friend where she got it from...and then if it's somewhere far away I'll probably start to cry!
I've rung a number of TK Maxx stores and none of them have it. My own stupid fault. Thank you ALL everyone.

Just an off chance, have you tried putting in some detail into Google and then click on IMAGES, you could try the make you think it is...maybe it will come up as a picture and you can then check from there.......let us know if it helps.....

Thanks Jojomo...good idea. I've trawled through pages & pages of google images and eBay ads...no joy :-(

So I've found that she bought it from an independent retailer in Bath...back in Feb. Hoping to find out the name....
