well, let’s be honest… any vintage silk scarf will do really but Hermes is my obsession of the moment. I think it started somewhere back when I saw these pillows at Leslie’s last year but the more I’m decorating the more I’m finding that good pillows are hard to come by and especially those with a reasonable price tag (and no, I’m not saying Hermes is reasonable). I did however find a few on ebay (there’s even a guide about how to avoid fakes!…serious) and I stumbled upon various other sites that weren’t toooooo bad. I also found this great post from Apartment Therapy in the midst of my wishful thinking. I just love how interesting all of their scarves are and the graphic nature of the way the elements in the designs are pulled together. Sigh, but for now with four sweet furry friends at home I will have to just enjoy them vicariously through clients that are sans puppies or online. I pulled a few samples below of several Hermes scarves that would make great pillows.

Here is an interesting variant on your post..how about a Hermes silk print tie fragment at a pittance for trim on a pillow??
There are a few on Vivre.com - but they are ostentatious!! http://www.vivre.com/product/HERMES_-x22-VUE_DU_CAROSSE-x22-_SILK_SCARF_PILLOW
Beautiful! I hadn’t thought of turning them into pillows. I have pets, too- silk pillows would be impractical in my environment, but what a great idea otherwise.
Hermes scarfs must be on every Dallasite’s brain! Between this blog post and our newsletter that was sent out this morning, there is no shortage of Hermes scarf inspiration!
Hi Sam! I’ve seen these floated and framed and they are gorgeous! It would be a display option that would be puppy disaster free - and you could make pillows later. :)
You should check out “Bringing Home the Birkin: My Life in Hot Pursuit of the World’s Most Coveted Handbag” I just got through reading it. The guy started out selling Hermes scarfs and it morphed into birkins. I checked it out at the Dallas library. Great summer read.
