ExLibris en Kimonos

I know some of you are desperate to see some modelling shots of the Kimonos scarf (meant to be for Christmas!) Whilst doing the photos it really did highlight just what a versatile design this scarf is - there are SO many different looks to the scarf.  Anyway here you go hope you like:-

  1. Oh my husband bought me this scarf in Hong Kong in the same CW - isn't it lovely? As you say, it has so many different looks - I love the rusty red in it which is quite unusual I think! xxx

  2. Great to be twins with you Mrs Exeter! Your DH has good taste how lovely to be bought as a gift too! It really is versatile isn't it - not a scarf I loved at first when the AW11 collection came out but this one really is special now I have had a chance to play. SAx

  3. I'll say it again, this is probably my favourite scarf and you look lovely wearing it .
    I did buy it [ sepia/corail]and left it in a drawer unworn for ages : I wasn't sure as it seemed so fussy . But once I'd decided it was a keeper I just love wearing it .

  4. This looks wonderful with your red cardigan! I agree, it is a very versatile scarf. (I have a different CW). There are so many elements to highlight with different knots. Enjoy wearing it!

  9. This design is one which grew on me every time I saw it IRL, after rejecting it outright at first viewing (eg too busy). My choice came down to this or the black cw and I did choose the black. I still love the blue and it looks fabulous w your red sweater set. Lovely as always SA!

  10. I just found your lovely site while trying to decide what new scarf ring I need! I just received the kimono scarf as a Christmas gift from my parents. It is so beautiful! I love the blues in it. Thanks for many ideas of how to wear it!

    I live in LA and they purchased it in NYC at the Hermes store. Does anyone know if there is a good place to purchase Hermes in LA?

  11. Maisie - great to be scarf cousins with you - I like so many of the cws of ExLenK but not so many cws suited me! The advice of the SA at Nice airport was this one and then when I tried it in Harrods the TPF-ers with me all said this was THE one! I think they were right and I love this scarf design. Like you I was not keen at first but it grew on me the more I saw it!! Enjoy your scarf! SA:))

  12. Shelby - congratulations on your ExLibris! So happy you found inspiration from my blog and this scarf has many many possibilities. I am sure there are lots of places to buy Hermes in LA - have you checked hermes.com? If you go to the USA site you should be able to get a list up of all the boutiques in LA. I hope you enjoy wearing your scarf. Best wishes SA:-))
