Monte Carlo

Just back from Nice and Monte Carlo where I managed to purchase the exclusive Hermes scarf made for the Societe des Bains de Mer.  There was a choice of 4 colourways: lemon yellow, pale green, turquoise blue and orange and I chose the orange - I was surprised that I liked it but it works really well as it has lots of red in it too.  The design is by Joachim Metz. The shop that sells the scarves is the "Boutique SBM" and is located immediately to the right of the Casino as you come out of the Casino and just before the Cafe de Paris - the scarves are on display in the window.  Really easy to find but I am including a photo of the shop just to be sure!!
I have shown the scarf worn in a variety of ways:  equestrian, equestrian then tied in a half ascot, then a twist and finally the friendship knot.

  1. Thanks for the info about the shop - I know exactly where it is now - I was having a coffee quite close by the other day - can't believe I have never been over to investigate and see these beautiful scarves in real life.

    Beautiful knots - they really showcase the design.

  7. I just visited Monte Carlo last month, the scarf is sold at the Monte Carlo Hermes store, not at the SBM boutique anymore! You can learn more about finding the scarf on this blog - www.fashionfob.com!
