I must admit that the cost for the mousseline is high. When you spend over $1K (including sales tax) in the US, one would be inclined to spend on the CSGM instead as we get more use in colder climates.

Off Topic but Important...
Fellow scarf lovers, today my lovely SA warned me that H... is thinking about/has decided to...cease/seriously reduce patterned mousselines!Excuse the vagueness of the report but my brain seized up in horror at the first words and now I can't be certain whether she said they have done this dirty deed, or will do it soon.
Can tpfers in other countries please ask their SAs for intel/gossip/information on this matter?
As a consolation, after seeing the look of abject misery on my face, my SA did say that H was thinking about/or has decided to, bring back patterned 70's?
I know this could be a case of 'win some, lose some' but I am still reeling in shock(and covertly eyeing up that Della Cavalleria moussie that I didn't buy at the start of the season...
).
(Sorry for interrupting but I struggled to find an appropriate thread and thought I should just post it to those who care about scarves the most!)
Given that my SA is not prone to rumour, I am appalled at this possible decision from H. I would appreciate if scarf lovers could investigate and report back either denying or confirming these bits of info.
For now, I am drowning my sorrows in a good bottle of white wine...
Shocking but true!!
Just yesterday I popped into my H store and enquired about mousselines. Discontinued!! Not producing them anymore!! I don’t think I’ve ever felt so shocked and disappointed in Hermès before. I ❤️ my moussies! They have a revolving door existence in my collection; some come in, some go out, some just get admired...but there’s usually always enough in circulation to hunt for each something new each season. Not any longer apparently!
Just like my fellow moussie collectors, I am quite devastated by this decision
I am so sad at this news, although it will help my pocketbook.
Oh no, I’ve been hearing the rumors since summer but hoped it was only just that. By far my favorite format. Had been thinking of letting some go but now reconsidering.
Not terribly surprised as the quality has changed considerably in recent years.
As said, hopefully something new and possibly better (?) on the horizon. H does have a way of pleasantly surprising.

What a bummer! I have only been collecting H scarves for a short time, and the mousseline is my favorite. I have been a fan of Ferragamo scarves for ages and while I have always thought they were very good quality, the H quality is significantly better (although the price goes with it!).
I too had been thinking of selling some I don't wear often enough but now I'm torn. Logically, it should make zero difference to a lonely moussie sitting in my drawer for months on end whether or not H makes any others in the future. Alas, it does.

Not unexpected but very disappointing. Mousselines are the perfect format for spring/summer...so light and airy.
They have been very hard to find the past couple of years and definitely produced in fewer numbers.
I am forturnate to have a nice collection but sad that I won’t be able to add to it

I love moussies because they take up no space in a bag, but add just enough warmth and fabulousness wrapped around my neck on a chilly summer evening.
This may be sacrilege, but I love them even more than 90s.

I don't think they're fully discontinuing it, much like the 70cms. They're just discontinuing the designed ones, is my guess. Press pics for SS19 shows what looks to me losange mousselines in polka dots.

Oh thank you for this picture, gives hope. I actually have 2 mousseline losanges from way back, both Soleil in different colorways. Super easy to wear, chic but not very warm I’m afraid. We’ll have to wait and see what else is coming.

Oof. It's not like I wasn't expecting it. As soon as they drop down to producing something only one season out of the year it gets phased out in a few more. Needless to say I am heartbroken. I missed finding Della Cav in a colorway that suited me.
My info is the designed 1,40 are discontinued. The stoles are continued as well as the 1,40 plain coloured.
