OK, I must admit that I am a scarf addict! Particularly when it come to Hermès. Especially because I have so little to spend my monthly “fun money” on. Also, because I love colour, pattern and luxurious fabrics…

So, I saved up for months…

Then, I watched a certain pair of websites for weeks…

To see which of the two scarves I was waiting for would appear in the UK…

And this was the result of my search…

Yes, I bought an Hermès cashmere/silk 140cm shawl!!! This one is called Le Jaguar et le Colibri (Humming Bird) designed by Lugo Montserrat. The shopping code is H243919S 07 and the colourway is marine/rouge/rose.

This is an image of the full shawl…

The shawl is absolutely glorious in real life with so many different colours and patterns. I tried to count all of the shades and gave up at twelve! The navy blue background really drew me to this colourway as it sets a beautiful foil for the floral and geometric drawing. This also means that it will look lovely with my navy base colour clothing such as jumpers, t-shirts, jeans, trousers and dresses (yes, I do have some in navy).

I intend to slowly compile a Scarf of the Moment profile for the shawl. Slowly, because I want to do its sheer beauty justice. I will try it on against suitable colours that I have in my wardrobe and try different knots. (I must get my hair cut first and, perhaps put on some makeup!) The post will only be published on the blog when I am completely satisfied with it, so that may mean that it will not appear until the New Year 2024. We will see!

Anyway, if you love this design like I do and have been waiting for it to appear in the online shops, it seems to trickling in and out again very quickly. Good luck if you have been hunting for it!

Happy Weekend to you all.

Love and best wishes,

Anne
