Birthdays, FASHION, Hermes, Uncategorized HALLELUJAH HERMES!! 1 November 2009




Every 25 seconds an Hermes scarf is sold somewhere in the world.

And so Chris contributed towards about 1 minute’s revenue towards Hermes for my birthday πŸ˜‰

When he gave me the paper bag, my thought was “Oooooh! Hermes!” and simultaneously my other thought was “Crap! Hermes!” because I know just how much Hermes costs (ummm.. ouch)…. When I peeked inside, there was not one… but TWO Hermes boxes! My jaw dropped πŸ˜›

Recently I’ve gotten interested in scarves, and I guess must’ve lamented to Chris I didn’t have a really nice scarf.. and he must’ve remembered! That, or he knows me VERY well πŸ™‚ He’d gone to the boutique and picked up 2 designs that he thought I’d like, and he has great taste!

DID YOU KNOW?
It takes a studio of 20 designers about 2 years< to complete a Hermes scarf from design concept, engraving and printing to the hand finishing process. Every scarf tells a unique story. Each scarf contains 65 grams of silk from approximately 250 cocoons. And their special rounded hem? It's specially hand-rolled and takes 40 minutes to complete. Very cool trivia eh?! With Hermes, it could never be just a scarf, I guess πŸ˜‰

What I like most is that Hermes scarves are timeless – they’re not like regular scarves that you buy to use, then chuck ’em away/lose them after awhile. With Hermes, the scarves become covetable vintage scarves, which I can pass to my daughter(s) to use in future.. and that’s a nice thought πŸ™‚

I could find one of the Hermes scarves on their official website but the other one is AWOL, or maybe I just haven’t looked hard enough πŸ˜› I loooove both though, they’re each so different so I’ve created a whole variety of ways to use ’em and pair them with my outfits. Will post pics of what I’ve done next!

Oh those are lovely! You are a lucky LUCKY lady to have such a generous and loving hubby.

I think that is true about all things Hermes. I think that’s why Birkins and Kellys are so covetable. They are quality, and require so much work, and they last forever. And then they become heirlooms.

Very true! I don’t like the Birkin and Kelly bags at the moment though.. but maybe I will in 10 years when I’m older πŸ˜›

Thanks Bev! I sold the Miu Miu bow satchel away tho. The Bal is Amethyst pink, close to your Magenta but your leather is TDF, so is the richer shade. πŸ™‚

So I didn’t guess huh? I can’t wait to see all those variations of wearing the scarf. I personally don’t know cool ways of wearing such type of scarf. I wanna learn!!!

Gorgeous, hubby has excellent taste. Went to the site and checked out the other colors of the Columbus scarf, the blue one is goooorrgeous. (But I love everything blue, hehe)

Happy belated birthday btw. πŸ™‚
