My favorite souvenir from any trip to France is an Hermès scarf. Yes, it is a splurge but considering the quality of workmanship and the fact that they last forever and never go out of style, means you cannot really go wrong investing in one or two. I have collected quite a few over the years between gifts and my “souvenir” purchases, but the Hermès scarf that I wear the most often is the very first one I ever bought – at the flagship Paris store in 1984 when I was 21 years old!

An Hermès scarf is an accessory that can take even the simplest black outfit and kick it up a notch. I love packing a couple when I am traveling because I can change the look of my “capsule” wardrobe by simply switching my scarf.

For those of you who, like me, are always looking for new ways to wear your scarves, Hermès just launched a free app for iPhones and iPads which includes six films and twenty one “knotting cards” showing you different ways to tie your scarves. It also shows highlights from the current collection.
I also love Mai Tai’s Picture Book, a blog which showcases Hermès scarves and unique ways to wear them, as well as selling a fantastic line of scarf rings, fur scarf collars and other gorgeous accessories to wear with your Hermès scarves. If you are a fan of Hermès, you will LOVE this blog!
Today, I am on the hunt for this scarf from a few years back…
It is called “Fleurs D’Indiennes” and I love how the look changes depending on how you tie it. If I can’t find it at the flagship store in Paris, I won’t be able to find it anywhere.

I promise to report back on my latest “souvenir”!
I am sorry to say that no store in Europe has any of these left! I tried looking for it myself but there is none in any color…I think you will have to go to ebay or a reseller.Good luck
That would definitely be at the top of my souvenir list.
Good Monday morning to you, Sandy!
Hermes scarves are timeless! Queen Elizabeth loves them too. Enjoy the hunt for your latest souvenir:)
Such a wonderful souvenir to bring back. The colors are rich and the fabric is so soft and luxurious. Happy Monday Sandy! xxL
I love souvenirs that both bring back wonderful memories associated with my travels and are something that I can use and enjoy often. The scarves are beautiful and perfect!
Oh that first photo, how colorful and fun! HI SANDY! BON VOYAGE! Anita
So good to hear from you and I love Mai Tai! Hope you are having a ball and I cannot imagine having a more fun way to spend a day than going Hermes scarf shopping! Enjoy…..
My mother gave me one of her old Hermès scarves ages ago and I treasure it!
