Hermes Scarf

[fatjac]

What do you think of Hermes Scarves?

Pretentious, old fashioned, overpriced. Or classical, beautiful, fabulous.

Prefer Emilio Pucci scarves myself, think they are a bit younger/funkier, but still elegant and classic (she hopes...). I get lots of comments on mine.

The Hermes scarves I love are classical, beautiful, fabulous and the designs/colourways I don't care for are pretentious, old fashioned and overpriced

I have a couple of the classic 90 cm silk squares but at the moment, I prefer the large cashmere/silk shawls and the smaller 70cm silk squares. There are also a range in cotton. I think the dsign and colourway change the look completely - there are some very contemporary designs and geometric designs that are quite fresh and modern. A lot depends on the way they're knotted/folded too. The hermes.com website has a scarf-folding booklet to download.

Hermes sell 4 special clips to hang the scarves on the wall as art if you fall in love with the design but don't wear scarves.

Love them. Pure class.

I love my red Hermes.. I travel lots on business and always take it with me. If I've misjudged how formal a meeting is, I can pop it on and it instantly transforms what I am wearing. 10% of the one I bought went to charity so I didn't feel so bad parting with almost £200 for it.

I adore mine, I just wish I could afford lots more classic and stylish what's not to love...

Oh good a favourable response.

I have always lusted after one. To me they are the epitome of style and elegance. It is my 40th Birthday on Sunday and I know that my Mum and MIL will give me money so I wanted to buy something to keep. It was one of the 90cm squares I was thinking of.

fab love them but also the new sprouse for vuitton

Why is it worth £228? (Genuine question)

I have one and I never wear it. It reminds me of something the Queen would wear.

I feel guilty because my mother also bought me an Hermes enamel bracelet which I have never worn.

The work put in to make it. Each one is unique and hand-rolled.

Malfloy - can I put your enamel bracelet to good use?

Old granny springs to mind, don't like at all.

I like this although I know it is everywere

I like that one Ronaldinho. Wouldn't part with £200 for it though.

You can buy that in M&S for £15!

my beautiful tres stylish friend has one and has worn it, much to our disgust, endlessly. It goes with everything...she has it in the pale blue/grey colour

swoon

I am not stylish enough for one so it would be wasted on me.

That's very Bet Lynch, the leopard print with the pink though.

it might be the final thing to tip you into uber stylish.....

Gosh, they're really not very nice are they?

How do you wear them?

fatjac - is there a particular one you are after because most of the ones available at the moment are from last year's Year of India collection - this year is Year of Travel and the new 90cm silk scarves will be coming into the stores soon. Surprisingly, I find that the Hermes concession in Harrods has the widest range of scarves. Are you in/near London?

I don't think I could do that look justice Ronaldinhio.
