Foulard de la semaine

Another warm weather scarf option. Silk plissé (pleated) scarf, worn as a necklace.

(Thanks again to Audi in comments whose suggestion for correcting the color problem with my digital camera did the trick!)

  1. Deja - do you have something securing that knot - just looks lovely but I never have luck unless I secure things from the back.

  2. Toby - no, it's just a simple square knot.

  3. Oooh, pretty. Does the knot stay in position? I'm sure any knot of mine would end up in the pendant position in no time.

    I always enjoy your scarf posts. I liked seeing last week's vintage sheer, too.

  4. A revelation, I have one plisse but don't have much of a repertoire of knots, thank you!

  5. sue - thanks, actually the knot tends to migrate toward the back. But a periodic slight adjustment does the trick.

    duchesse - I really love the plissé, so much less bulky than the traditional carrés. Next week I'll show you another fun plissé knot!

  8. Much better! I'm glad I was able to help with the color correction. I love all your tips on tying scarves.

  9. Dejapseu: Is this a Hermes scarf? I bought a couple which must be always folded into a spiral and kept in their round orange boxes, after use. The thought means I rarely use them but seeing this, I am tempted to.

    BTW have you see the Hermes colours this summer? Stunning Indian pinks and oranges! Some must come to me. (Evil laughter).

  10. Shefaly - yes, it's a design called "Sous les orangers"

    Oh yes, I've seen the new scarves. They're absolutely stunning. I may not be able to wait until Paris to pick one up...

    1. Hi Veronica, this one was purchased at an Hermes boutique a few years ago. If you go to www.hermes.com, you can often find them. Just look for the word "plissé " in the description.
