1 Week of Scarf Looks From 1 Knot
Sometimes it isn’t about the skill, but about the creativity
Sometimes, it’s not about perfecting intricate scarf-tying skills; it’s about embracing creativity. With just one simple technique—a basic upside-down triangle and a fabric knot—you can unlock a week’s worth of unique, stylish looks. Here’s exactly how I create fresh, easy outfits each day using this versatile approach. (also on Instagram and TikTok).
Chevaux de Trait from my scarf boutique
Today’s featured scarf is a gem from my As Seen In series and also offered for sale in my scarf boutique, where I identify scarves spotted in movies. This one is called Chevaux de Trait by Laurence Bourthoumieux. It first debuted in 1993, fresh on the scene for My Best Friend’s Wedding, where Cameron Diaz wore it so memorably. With its intricate design and deep historical connection, this scarf is truly special, offering a touch of movie magic to anyone who wears it.
Overview of Hermes “Chevaux de Trait” & Laurence Bourthoumieux
Hermes “Chevaux de Trait” was first issued by Hermes in 1993. Each Hermes scarf is designed by an artist, who is commissioned by Hermes to design a scarf. This one seen on Cameron Diaz’s character, Kimberly, is by Laurence Bourthoumieux. She has designed about 26 Hermes scarves in hundreds of color variations.
She actually uses three different signatures used on her Hermes scarves (that I’ve found).
1987-1989
Signed as “L.T.”
"Tropiques”, “Brazil” and “Giverny”
1992-1994
Signed as “L. Thioune”
”Vive le Vent”, “Chevaux de Trait”, “Parures des Sables”
1997-Current
Signed as “Toutsy”
Begins with "Au Son Du Tam-Tam” through current scarves
