When I first got out of school, I was lucky if I could cobble together outfits of solid colors that didn't clash. Envious of my accessorized colleagues, I would buy scarves I could afford - we're talking at news kiosks - and I would try to wear them in the most flattering way possible.  The result was the scarf flying off behind me, or sliding down one side, or the knot would migrate to my throat, and I'd spend the day tugging and adjusting and squirming.  

Not the effect I was going for.  But I never gave up on the idea of a silk square transforming my wardrobe into something chic.

Fast forward about 20 years.  An amazing birthday gift: an Hermes pochette! I was hooked on the texture, the artistry, the quality.  

It took a few years after that day, but it happened.  I found myself in an Hermes boutique overseas, taking advantage of favorable exchange rates.  I was giddy!  When I returned home, a new revelation was upon me:  the secondary market!  Soon I was scouring consignment stores and online auction sites.


The next thing I knew, I had forty scarves.  I was a bit horrified with myself, and decided if I could buy online I should try selling there, too.  It was through a listing that I learned about scarf collecting groups. Yes, there were other people who loved Hermes scarves even MORE than I did!  

Over the next 10+ years, I've had the immense pleasure of meeting many wonderful people through these collecting groups.  Along with some magical sales associates, we've exchanged insights on colors and artists and themes and knots and fabrics.  We've traveled great distances to spend time with the "silk sisterhood."  It's been a beautiful journey, one that I hope doesn't end any time soon.
