HERMES 90cm SILK SCARF - INTO THE CANADIAN WILD
​by ALICE SHIRLEY

Once again, I didn't 'get' this Alice Shirley design when it came out in 2017. I was accustomed to traditional Hermes scarf layouts: wide borders surrounding a circle or a square containing horses or flowers or feathers. This was busy, and cartoony. Of course now busy-and-cartoony is my jam.

Alice Shirley created this piece to commemorate Canada's 150th birthday. The true commemorative edition features a  red border, and the standard issue features contrast hems. Alice Shirley's Canadian landscape
 includes polar bears and brown bears, Canada geese, deer, beavers, orcas and more — showcasing the richness and diversity of the country’s vast landscape. I grew up a few hours' drive from Canada, and this design evokes fond childhood memories.

Words cannot describe how badly I'd like to go back in time, grab myself by the shoulders, shake vigorously and scream "BUY EVERY COLORWAY!" 
​Could I lose my mind and set about to add every colorway to my collection? Perhaps.
