Probably won't get many lookers...but I feel it's time for me to big up the good old scarflace!
When I first saw them on QVC a few years back, I thought they were horrible, as the ones she showed were usually shiny, and in pastel peach, or green, or worse still peach and green together, pale pinks, yellows and at the other end of the spectrum the downright gaudy, cerise pinks, mixed with royal blue and gold, that godawful gold nautical knots on black look..hideous gold filigree ends, and that revolting clip you could buy with a cabochon of the same fabric...NOOOOOOOO!
As I said in an earlier thread, I acquired a scarflace by accident, I'd bought a black weekend bag and it had one thrown in as an extra. It was a leopard print one, and I used to wear it with a denim jacket and it looked alright. What I really liked about it was that the clips made sure that it never fell off, and scarves are always something you lose. Then in a fit of peak, I ordered an entire set of scarflaces, and noticed that she'd started using silver ends instead of the hideous goldtone, there was a lot more fabric in them, and most of them....in fact there was only one truly nasty one, were gorgeous..especially a dark purple one embellished with sequins....It literally transformed a really boring black dress I had, just by slinging around my neck and letting it hang down. I know it probably sounds like Moira has paid me to say all this, but really, they are new and improved and I really love the look of the velvet ones with the burn out designs. The magnetic clips look much better, and are much easier to do up. I wish she'd make the metal bits where the fabric attach a little bit plainer, unfortunately they're still filigree. Also that she dropped the prices a little. Her designs are getting better..still waiting for her to do a red/cream polka dot combo, or brown/cream polka dot, or black/cream polka dot....I love polka dots me!!!!
I think they've come a long way since the early days where you'd just look like you're running late for a WI meeting, or off to judge the biggest cucumber in the county show.....seriously folks a well chosen scarflace will be your best friend lol!.....I am actually serious
