My First Hermes Scarf - Les Clés / The Keys 90 cm Twill by Caty Latham

While unpacking another one of the endless boxes the other day,

 I came across my first very own Hermes Scarf.

It is an afternoon I will always fondly remember, 
I had just turned 21 and my mother and I were in Paris. 

 We went into the flagship Hermes store and she surprised me by telling me that I could have my very own bag.

As was the custom "back in those days" and still for some, 

a scarf would be tied to the handbag.

An example of he classic BCBG fashion of tying scarves to bags
(Not my bag)

My mother being in a generous mood told me to go and choose one.

I think if she weren't so busy browsing herself that she would have "suggested" something for me.
