For our first holiday
celebration my darling David surprised
me with a Hermès scarf and every year since he has presented me with an impeccably wrapped box that holds the gorgeous
silk masterpiece that won him over after much thoughtful deliberation.
The hand-screened silk squares have sumptuous colors and every scarf has a
theme that makes a statement ranging from heartfelt to frivolous. These scarves over the years have been worn by many fashion mavens including
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Grace Kelly. For some they may be status symbols but for me they are the signature accessory that adds a perfect pop of color to
whatever I’m wearing.
So you can imagine how
thrilled I was that when Hermes opened
their completely renovated store near where we live in Northern Virginia Thursday evening that we were among
the honored guest. The event was perfectly orchestrated and the remodeled store is exquisite.
I had the unexpected pleasure of meeting their CEO and President Robert Chavez and having him personally show me the special edition Christopher Columbus scarf. He’s absolutely charming and of course once I saw the elaborate design done in warm browns and sea glass green draped around my neck I knew it I had to have it. What a luxurious way to express my obsession with color.
