H it Up ~ Jeans and a white shirt

Today H ing up a basic 'uniform' of jeans and a white shirt with my first Pointu, a souvenir from Paris. It is an interesting size scarf as it comes to nearly the same length as a regular 90 Carré when folded in the bias fold, yet it has much less fabric due to it's triangular shape.

Muse belt buckle and black box leather strap
Grand Apparat narrow enamel bangle
• Black Togo Birkin

  7. Your pointu is beautiful and it looks great on you!
    You could maybe also make a knot in the middle pulling the ends apart from eachother, place the scarf around the neck so that the knot is in the front and then make another smaller knot behind the neck (I use this way with the gavroches and it looks nice).

  8. Thank you dearest DB <3 The size is a good discovery, especially for mid season. The Clés won't be the last one ;-) x

    Thank you sweet DD, so many lovely memories indeed and so much of it thanks to you <3

  10. Thank you dill.bob. Yes, a Pointu might be the perfect solution, definitely worth investigating.. Astrologie has been reissued in the current AW collection and there is a beautiful black/grey/taupe/white CW ~ would be fantastic on you! x

  11. I LOVE this scarf. I just found one online and ordered it (the traditional 90cm size). I can't wait until it gets here from Zurich. It's such a classic "H" pattern.

  13. Dear MaiTai, I love to read your blog! At the moment I am trying to find few scarfs for the autumn, and I truly adore the two scarves (the big shawl and the grey one with horses) on your H it up - Jeans and white shirt -column. Could you be so kind and tell what their names are! Is the other one Damier GM..? How about the grey one? Sorry, as you can see I am a newbie with Hermes scarves (and actually with the whole brand.. ; )) Thank you so much! It is a pleasure reading your well built column. Have a wonderful week, et bonne soiree! : )
