Plisse Ideas from Hermes

I was in scarf conversation with a scarf friend and she has a plisse minus the H booklet that usually comes with plisses so to help a friend out I have photographed one of my booklets to post here for the ideas.  If you click on the photos they will enlarge so you can see more detail.

Carre en Carre Plisse

One of my scarf friends was asking about my Carre en Carre Plisse so I though I would post some photos here!!  This is a great design by Hermes and by the time I realised I "needed" one I had missed the boat as it was a best seller.  However I was able to find one in Berlin in a plisse version:-

As it comes out of the box:

Stretched out in the hotel room!!

At ease!

I have worn the scarf here in the flower knot first with a single knot knot and second one without a single knot before pulling the edges through a ring it makes quite a difference as you can see.

Scarf Ring II

Well I was so pleased with my gold Bolduc scarf ring which I bought recently(New Scarf Ring)  that I could not resist getting another one in the silver/palladium.  So as I was in London yesterday I went to Harrods and got one:-)

My little bag of treasures!

Beautifully packaged as always with Hermes!

The Hermes Caleche

The rear detail.

Sisters! Silver left and Gold Right - it is a bit difficult to tell them apart!!

Maybe this shot is better!

Here shown on my Per Astra ad Astra plisse - silver left, gold right. The silver definitely looks much "cooler" than the gold.

The silver ring on my Dancing Pearls Plisse - this works very well as the overall tone of the scarf is cooler.

And finally worn as a butterfly/flower knot.

On my journey home there was a fantastic "grey" sunset and I got this amazing shot of the sun's rays from the train so I thought I would share it with you!

Les Domes Celestes

Last weekend I was very lucky find the exact colourway of Les Domes Celestes that I have been looking for - I chose the design over 2 other scarves that I liked, but when I saw them in real life it was Les Domes Celestes that had to come home with me!  Here are a few photos  revealing the incredible detail of this design by Annie Faivre - including her trademark monkey.

The designer's trade mark monkey:

 

Here worn with my Bolduc scarf ring to make a bow.

A Friendship Knot

I really like the colours in this scarf and the detail picture of this Friendship Knot shows them off perfectly!

Worn Cowboy Knot style.

Here I have worn the scarf Equestrian Style but then used the Bolduc ring again to make the bow with the ends so it is kind of a 2 in 1 look!

And here I just tucked the loose ends into the "V" of my sweater.  This shows off the lovely patterns and colours really nicely. 

There are a lot of pinks and oranges in this scarf and I think depending how you fold it you can bring out more of one than the other so I reckon this scarf will be really versatile - and I must flag up the fabulous  bouganvelia coloured hem!!

Spring is here!!

I was up early and out in the garden with my camera to capture some of the lovely spring flowers that are now in bloom.

Narcissus February Gold

Narcissus Tete a Tete

The Camellia

The Hellebores - these are fabulous flowers when you look at them closely! These were grown from seeds off a friend's existing plants so are nameless hybrids.

A little bit of H

Feeling casual today I decided to use my Bolduc ring with my Hermes Sellier Gavroche - it worked OK but the ring was slightly heavy for the smaller scarf, but I still liked the effect! 

Paris in The Springtime Scarf of the Day

Today I am hosting the "I love Paris in the Springtime" Scarf of the Day on the forum.  So I decided to wear my newest plisse Per Astra ad Astra with my new Bloduc ring - all put together with a white shirt, cashmere sweater and a string of fw pearls to complete the look.  I really like the pinks in this plisse - what a lucky find on Ebay!!
Firstly tied in my favourite Butterfly Knot

And then worn as a bow using my Bolduc Scarf Ring to "tie" the bow!

New scarf ring

I treated myself to my first Hermes scarf ring - the new Bolduc Ring in permabrass (gold). I love it!  It looks great with my scarves - here are few little pics to show it off.

I was also given a sample of the new perfume soon to be launched by Hermes it is called Voyage d'Hermes and has a woody scent with a hint of musk - very fresh and very unisex.

The Bolduc ring is square which makes a nice change!

The front depicts the Hermes caleche.

The rear has "Hermes-Paris" stamped on it.

As you can see the edges feature the "stitching" like the real Bolduc Ribbon used to wrap up all Hermes goodies!

Here with my La Legende du Poisson Corail plisse - and a detail shot:-

A straight "tie" look.

And a crossover "knot" which I feel is a more secure way to wear the ring as it is quite wide and I would not wear it on a 70cm in anything that was not secure as I would be afraid it would slip off - I know from bitter experience with a non H ring!

With my 70cm Kelly en Caleche scarf in a crossover for security.

And finally worn as per the latest set of Hermes knotting cards - wear the scarf in a Cowboy knot/fold and slip the ring on one end before you tie the knot at the back of the neck - I think this is a really great idea from Hermes and I will be wearing this a lot!!
