Hermès ‘Paris, mon Ami’ campaign at Harrods Knightsbridge
How do I go about writing about scarves without including a sappy account on how mother had a sliding drawer full of them and whenever I’d run my fingers over them I’d smell of Guerlain Shalimar on my palm for the rest of the week? Well, I guess I can’t anyway since my mother did not have a sliding drawer full of perfumed scarves – our furniture was ancient IKEA and the scarves shared a wiggling drawer full of my dad’s ties and some neglected stockings. So, I’m glad to say visiting the Hermès popup shop in Harrods Knightsbridge (celebrating 20 years relationship) today incited no nostalgia flashbacks whatsoever, and refreshingly I was able to form my own impression and fondness for the silk scarves. They were demonstrating tips on 1,000 ways to wear a scarf and my own ‘installment’ had 12 scarves in them, weaved together into what Penny called a ‘Hermès waffle’. And of course, you probably know already how much I loved the DIY style-your-scarf cards… off to try some with my teatowels!
The pop-up shop is open till the 2nd of January, so make sure you drop by and learn a few tricks.
Thank you Penny for the shots of moi!
AWESOME~!
That Hermes-scarf-dress is so sweet! How cool would it be to wear your scarves like that all the time? What a great opportunity you got.

INCREDIBLE!!!! I have a chest drawer full of silk scarves, 80% of them are unworn…..hmmm it’s play time…well, wait til I return.
I love your intro! So funny! Too many bloggers disingenuously mention the lovely, but privileged indulgences of their lives. But without a hint of humility for those of us who haven’t been lucky enough to afford them or haven’t come from families that can.
Quite refreshing!
wow. that all looks amazing. love the “naklace”
wow. that all looks amazing. love the “neklace”

Scarves are my ultimate accessory and this is my favorite type. the regal-tartan pattern. I really love how they are being used, I wish I could have them all. lol
What a beautiful myriad of scarves!

I like the illustrations on the different ways the scarves can be worn; alas, too bad I live in NY. The photograph of the hands putting together the dress made out of the silk scarves is especially impressive and cool-looking. Thanks for sharing!
Stunning

Those scarf styling cards have got me dribbling with excitement. Unfortunately, silk and dribble are probably not a good mix.
Amazing Shini! This post feels like someone threw-up a smorgasburg of silky prints… it’s incredible. Love the shots of you and Peony. The concept 1,000 ways to wear a scarf is awesome. I know of only 1 really… draped around my neck. #lameo xx

I remember there was this ’90s trend of wearing bandanas as tops…I wasn’t really into that (not that I should’ve been, since I was only a kid). But that card with a scarf worn as a top is gorgeous! So inventive!
actually, have you seen this video? It shows how to wear a scarf in 25 different ways. Quite mesmerizing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LYAEz777AU
Love the blog! Check out http://www.beadshines.com for one of the best wholesale jewelry supply and crafts stores located in the fashion district of Los Angeles, Ca. Beadshines Jewelry Supply!
I love the top! Inspiring!
Beautiful photos, but what i liked most about this post is the story about your mothers drawer ;) made me laugh, thanks ;)
Hi Shini,
I haven’t commented in a while but I’ve been reading your blog still. Do update us on your married life! (:
Anyway this is beautiful – Hermes silk scarves are always of the highest quality & they spend so much collaborating with artists on prints.
very nice photographs of those ingenious Hermes scarves ! a really classic find with all those bangles and sketches… everything~ i’ll visit the store soon x but for me, these photos are indulgent enough =D
