H it Up ~ my hat wears the scarf

Now that it's August, summer holidays have officially started in France. It's also holiday time for the LBS and LBD, as there is no way either item gets worn in the next few weeks. Instead, h-ing up linen trousers and a knitted top for a walk on the beach after lunch.

H it Up!

  7. Hello MaiTai - What a pleasure to stumble upon your blog via tPF while researching Hermes scarves. I purchased my first, a vintage silk jacquard and then visited my Hermes store to purchase 1 carre and came away with 3 - uh oh...Thank you so much for sharing both your experiences and expertise espcially re:scarves. A question - what would you suggest for a head covering on a rainy day as silk is obviously out? This is what led me to Hermes scarves in the first place. I promise my next comments will not be so lengthy.

    Merci,

    Maisie Z

  8. Hello Maisie and welcome to my blog! What a story, I see you've been bitten by the H bug big times!! Would love to hear which designs you got.. Re rain protection my best advice is an umbrella but I would imagine you could wear your H silk, I wash mine by hand in cool water without a problem.. To be safe, maybe it's best to experiment with a preloved scarf (ebay) first. Good luck and keep me posted!! :-)
