Thank you, Lkb! My favorite sweater. Happy to know that Tiecrafters will plisse a scarf. And that is a good point about the hem.Thank you so much dear Moussie Queen! I believe you are the principal format enablement on these @Cookiefiend!
Wow! What a project and pretty brave but also wonderful @Redbirdhermes! Did the ironing out of the pleats affect the hems? Just curious... I have heard of plisse-ing an old scarf to give it new life (in fact they offer this service at Tiecrafters in NYC) but I never heard of it in reverse! The effect is very cool and now you have your own Redbird + Hermes Turandot...
Me too, dear @Croisette7 and thank you for the compliment. My 140 cw reminds me a bit of your lovely CSGM of the other day...
I am so glad you decided to keep it @FlaTiger!
Thank you so much @Katharina Luise -- of course in cropping the mod shot I also cropped ff the giraffe's sweet face...
This is such a great outfit all around and another great color for you @FlaTiger! I haven't got a summer silk 140 and my interest is piqued (my wallet is just having a fit of pique)...
Such a beautiful and informative post @Karenska. Happy to be twins on the last one and I have La Source de Pegase on my 2022 hunting list! You have made me look much more closely at the design...
This is glorious with your plum sweater @Karenska!
Congratulations @Katharina Luise -- what a wonderful find and a fabulous color! It looks great on you. You are in good company as many of us are fans of this format. I have never com across an Appaloosa gav, though...Beautiful.
Ah, thank you @EtsyBoss!
That is a chronic condition in my case @Langsam.
Thank you twin! You are right @Karenska about the crazy prices. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the wash listed at below retail but I think that the 140 silks -- wash or not-- are less popular (unless it is Tapis Persas or Chemins Secrets) so maybe that accounts for it. There was another aqua cw of the 140 Savana Dance out there recently at or below retail.
so much! I do adore this design.
The small cuties are wonderful but your sweet patient Coco-in-a-scarf is simply priceless @Cookiefiend!
Very sweet of you to say @SusieAugusta.
Beautiful and dramatic @Awillow!
I love this whole look @Langsam-- what a cool way to style this. I have your blue sister in this. Don't think it will look quite as eye-catching with the denim but you have give me a great idea
How lovely @Barbette -- I am delighted to be twins with you on the lovely bandana. It is my favorite one!
It is beautiful @Maedi! I just became your younger cousin with this season's wash version and I will always think fondly now of my scarf armor! Thank you for sharing that story.
So beautiful @Snausages! The border on this is simply extraordinary. I would seek out this design/cw just for that. It's like a page out of an Audubon book.

That is a beauty, Lkb. Very elegant.I think besides my Zebra Pegasus formats and Clair de Lune, I have only this one on Le Pegase d'Hermes (also 140 wash) Sisters with @Redbirdhermes! I am traveling today so posting an archive shot:

Thank you, Maedi. The sweater is an Aran knit. I love it, too.
Thank you, Snausages, they do indeed! As for deplisseing, that’s a future experiment, but it is heartening to know it can be a successful endeavor. However, now that I know about Tiecrafter’s and their plisse service, I will have to weigh on both options. I expect the plisse service is pricey.
Thank you dear LKBNOLA. I bought mine a few years ago when it was first released. It felt like a must for me since I love safari trips. I am not sure I would have the guts to go on a swamp boat tour. If there is an animal I really can´t stand it is mosquitos and I have an extreme fear of snakes.
Thank you very much! I actually found it after the fact online, as I missed it when it first came out. It worked out in the end!
Such a cool design. I love all the birds!
I love how you tied two twillies of the same design, Barbette. And sister on TRF ‘dana - you have the silver! It is gorgeous. I didn’t choose my color; it chose me. In Jan 2020, I went to NYC for an overnight to see NYC Ballet. I was staying downtown in the Financial District and made my way to H on Broad Street. I tried on a few scarves and asked to see some small formats and there it was. Tiger Royal Fleuri! He only had the one cw and I didn’t think twice, it was so beautiful. Archive photo.
Your MdZ is stunning, Nahreen, and where were you when that “little guy” appeared?
They are fearsome, indeed, and so primitive-looking.Beautiful, Xincinsin! Witty cat couture.Cats all over today. I wore a kitty Tshirt with kitty denim shorts to work (extremely casual work environment).

So of course I wore Les Chats. This is an additional acquisition, because after I bought my first Chats, @Living.la.vida.fifi casually asked me if it was the jacquard version. And, well, you know what happened next...

SOTD - Tyger Tyger! I purchased this during our wonderful vacation to France back in 2015. Ah, I wish to travel again....sigh. My college mascot was the tiger (aka my TPF moniker) and I have a strong affection for tigers. I am really looking forward to the Tigre Royal double face.
SOTD is La Treve de L’Eau. Lots of birds and beasts here!
Thank you so much! Which colour way do you have?
Thank you, I try my best
Pegasus
The divine winged stallion, the offspring of Poseidon and Medusa, was born of Perseus’ beheading of the terrible snake-haired gorgon. Later, Zeus turned him into a constellation, a gift for all the world to gaze upon. Hermès has imagined Pegasus in many spectacular ways and is perhaps as important an Hermès icon as the real horse.
Hippocrene, the sacred spring on Mt. Helicon, was formed by the hooves of Pegasus. Sacred to the Muses, it’s name translates as "Horse's Fountain" and the water is believed to bring forth poetic inspiration when imbibed. Here, in La Source du Pegase, Pierre Marie creates a riotous and magical scene of the birth of the Hippocrene. From The Story Behind:
“With a kick of a hoof from Pegasus… a spring bursts forth. Known as Hippocrene, this spring is located on Mount Helicon in Greece. The nine muses, daughters of Zeus and Mnemosyne, goddess of memory, would come to drink from it. Pierre Marie's narrative eloquence is expressed in both line and composition. His design, an allegory of an idea springing to mind, tells this wonderful story. It depicts Pegasus with radiating wings, and muses dancing a farandole in a joyful and fantastical setting that is as terrestrial as it is cosmic".

Pegasus is also associated with storms, for Zeus charged him to bring thunderbolts and lightning to Mt Olympus. Here Dmitri Rybaltchenko creates a Pop Art fantasy, and our divine mount is depicted as a colorful cartoon in Pegase Pop:

Alice Shirley imagines another equine species as the mythical Pegasus.

Perhaps now the most iconic design of Hermès’ depictions of the mythical horse, Clair de Lune presents the moon’s face as a magnificent, rearing Pegasus with flowing mane, surrounded by blazing stars, planets, and shooting comets.
View attachment 5295778I can’t wait to see your various pégases!
Thank you dear @Karenska for all the wonderful information about Pegasus and Greek mythology! Especially the tale of La Source du Pégase was not something I was familiar with. I appreciate all the stories behind the scarves I am learning about in this community! A big thanks to you all! And all the shown scarves are so beautiful
Different day, different samourais.
