Recent Acquisitions 3

For years I have coveted the Christmas Scarf by Dimitri Rybaltchenko Noel au Faubourg 24.   I have watched and watched AND watched on Ebay for this design so I was delighted when I finally found it in plisse form and in PINK!  I love this pink version (although I think THE one to have is the turquoise)  and being a plisse has the added benefit that you cannot really see that it is a Christmas scarf so you can wear it any time -especially as it is pastels it works any time!  I got his from a Japanese seller so I did have to pay some import tax on it but the price was still no more than you would pay here for a new scarf.  Also plisses are no longer made by Hermes so I was even more happy to have another plisse.

Some butterfly knots and an equestrian with Half Ascot Knot

Some simple drapes with a scarf ring (oops the Equestrian got in there again!)

And some nice half bows and then in the last photo I just kept threading 

the ends from the half bow into the scarf ring to make a pretty multiple bow.

I am going away for a couple of days tomorrow, however I have another post for you to enjoy.  So one of the next scarves I got was a vintage La Reale.  I had to wash this one when it came as it had a strong smell of perfume (and still does) and one or two marks that have come with its age, however it is much better for the wash I gave it!  The silk is beautifully soft and has the feel more of the 70cm scarves that you can buy today.  Whilst the colours are not the best for me I wanted a La Reale in my collection and for the price I paid this met the requirement nicely.

Some ideas of how to wear the scarf - here mainly simple drapes 

and some knots using a scarf ring.

New Acquisitions

Over the last few years/months I have added to my collection of scarves by purchasing some scarves from Ebay.  It is a case of watching every now and then and you can get some really nice scarves at really great prices.  So I'll post some of the scarves I have acquired in this way.  Here is the most recent scarf I got:-

Golf Balls Plisse

The scarf in detail.

Just simply worn with the addition of a scarf ring or knot.

And some more fancy knots which the plisse lends itself so beautifully to!
