Some goodies from FSH - Paris Final Part

I brought home 2 scarves from Hermes FSH so let's see straight away what I got...
First I had to make a very very difficult choice between a flat or plisse version of my favourite design "La Femme Aux Semmelles De Vent" - in the end I went for the plisse.
Brown is not a colour  I usually go for but this one seems to work well on me - I was so surprised and of course very happy.  Here for demo purposes (it being a very hot day!) I teamed it with a fur collar - can't wait for winter!!
Here I folded the scarf in a basic fold (as best I could for a plisse) to try and get some of the brighter colours to show and I just tied it around the neck twice and pulled out some of the pleats to give this result.
Flower knot with a scarf ring:
And this look is achieved simply by tying a single knot then getting hold of 2 of the edges of the tails and knotting them together to give this twisted/floral look. 
The second scarf I got was a Cotton Charm Kelly en Caleche - I finally managed to find a pale colourway for summer so this one came home too.
Sorry but I have not made any modelling photos with this one!

  1. Both scarves are beautiful... congratulations. Love the way you folded the La Femme Aux Semmelles De Vent to show more color. And, the cotton Charm Kelly en Caleche looks light and cool for summer. I'm curious to know how you like the weight of the cotton... I don't own any cotton H scarves, but have now been tempted by your photos.

  2. Thank you SMR. The cottons are very light-weight indeed and are made of the softest cotton ever, which I really like. They are also only 70cm so are not huge. Perhaps try one out at a Hermes boutique?
