My mother loves Paris and the boutique culture there. New York doesn't hold quite the same allure for her as there are already so many department stores in Asia I think she likes the contrast. Spills are just trying isnt it? I think it funny whenever people spill something at a restaurant - everyone chimes in with their own remedy. Club soda and some say just mineral water. Chocolate would be hard to get rid of in jeans even no?? Yes the folds are important and the tag! I know that Maitai gets rid of her tag but unless you are organized like her and keep it somewhere safe then it isn't worth getting rid of it. I love the emerald green and the amethyst colors!!

Specially bad as BA long haul flights leave from there. <br />How lovely that your mother took you to Hermes in Paris for a handbag and scarf! A happy memory to treasure always. So great that you were able to resurrect the water damaged scarf as a plisse. Have a few scarves that I've managed to spill things on over the years, mostly not Hermes, luckily. One is a v beautiful green silk designed by Gianni Versace that I just loved. Somehow managed to get liqueur chocolate over it. Such a klutz! Horrendous! Dry cleaner made it worse too. So sad. Many tks for advice about not letting dry cleaner iron the hems. Wouldn't have known about this otherwise, hems were probably ironed on the Versace - but it's ruined anyway. On "Resale Royalty" the boss/mother advised how important it is to keep the original scarf folds too. So that kind of rules out ever washing or cleaning - only spot cleaning. Love my scarves to death and worry every time I put one on to go out that I'll do something unspeakable to it - but also love wearing them, so I just take the chance.<br />Adored the croco rouge Kelly in "Le Divorce"! Will never happen - but lovely to dream.

With plissé it's a definite no bc it will flatten the crimps out. But I do think that it is best to stretch washes as long as you can. But I do love old silk as it's so buttery!
