Well, it is lovely to be able to write a Friday Post once again. Yes, we are still very busy organising our house move, and I will try to update the blog about that next week, if I feel able. However, amongst all of the stress and angst of the last few weeks, I fell down a slightly less slippery slope than usual. I think you will see what I mean…

Here we go…

Here we have an image of the entire scarf taken from the Hermès website. It is Bord a Bord, designed by Elias Kafouros, an 80cm cotton scarf. The website states:

”In this joyous circle, boats and trawlers swirl endlessly around the plain, magnetic center of this cotton scarf. The nautical-inspired piece can be worn all summer!”

When I was at university (not quite back in the Stone Age), Ancient History and Archaeology students took a six week study tour as part of their degree. My group travelled around Italy, Greece and the Greek islands. We saw many boats like these and even sailed between the islands on very similar craft. So this scarf evokes some very important and life-shaping memories for me.

I love the striped hem and the many-coloured boats…

When I can find the time, I will write a Scarf of the Moment post about this design. I have been informed that there are several colourways, although I haven’t seen any apart from the one above on the UK Hermès website at the date of writing. The others have a pink, blue or yellow background.

Anyway, here are a few quick modelling photos. Please excuse my awful hair. I have been too ill to visit my hairdresser for months!

As you can see, the scarf ties quite nicely, although I do have some qualms about getting a cotton scarf as I hate ironing! It will be nice to wear on sunny days.

Well, that’s all for now. I will continue to try to gather more information about this scarf so that I can compile my usual Scarf of the Moment post. So, if you know where I can find photos of the other colourways, blue, pink and yellow, please leave me a message in the comments for this post.

Happy Weekend!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
