I found an “Impose Ta Chance” (Valerie Dawlat-Dumoulin)2004 -rocks arranged in spiral design- that has no title on scarf and ‘Rougeur Matinaux’ in one corner.

I’m just thinking of years designs were officially released pleated; they have a distinctly different caretag attached prior to pleating, so I assumed a plisse issue was intentional.
Thanks for distinction reminder; it is a bit muddy... If there’s 500 examples of each I can see why author would split into 2 volumes. It’s going to be cumbersome to search through 3 books (eventually) though...
Great notes!
I agree with you that we’ll see many of these included in 2 forthcoming volumes for the CA4 Trilogy. I’m noting your other omissions in my copy - thanks for sharing
I do think that scarves that were not released as a 90 are often not included in her book.
also most “Men’s” scarves are not included.

There’s several 70cm only issue listings and a couple 100cm only issue included; I wish author would be more consistent.
I thought designs like Aaaargh! & Awoooo! were men’s collection- no? (I need to get more educated about this category)
Yes, it’s called “Impose ta chance.” This is the photo from the Spring-Summer 2004 scarf booklet. Is it listed correctly in the volume IV scarf book?I found an “Impose Ta Chance” (Valerie Dawlat-Dumoulin)2004 -rocks arranged in spiral design- that has no title on scarf and ‘Rougeur Matinaux’ in one corner.
I’m still working through your list and wanted to note that double-sided scarfs are included and use the code DF (double-faced).
Yes, the green color way is included
Interesting that it came with a border and without in the same season. How unusual! I wonder how many other designs that something similar happened to during a season?
Yes, it is in the book, thanks! That is one mystery solved for me
There are a fair number of designs like that. Lots of the designs from the 50s and 60s had that.Interesting that it came with a border and without in the same season. How unusual! I wonder how many other designs that something similar happened to during a season?
They were men’s, yes. So was C’est la Fête. She is definitely not consistent with her men’s scarves. I think she has more from recent years that earlier years.

You are right about the tag, of course. I for one would love to see records of whether a decimal was available in plisse amongst other categories
I assume the multiple-book situation arose from the need to:
* Make more money (it’s a business, after all)
* Perhaps she was ready to publish the 4th edition overall, but didn’t finish research and editing for the other books.
I can see it ok being ONE extra book for special + limited if the main book indicates there are special and limited editions, so you know to look. But two extra books sounds really troublesome to flip through.
Ideally, we just have one very thick book with everything and pay double (or whatever the price). Would be so worth it for me.
Also missing: Music Maker MMVII. I think it was a men’s scarf, but it was also the first double-sided scarf Hermes did before they started making them en masse recently. I don’t know the author.
Re: Brides de Gala Fleuri. I think they are called Brides Fleuries and were listed in the 3rd edition, but with a note indicating Collection Carré précieux indicating the exceptional scarf, I believe. There was an embroidered exceptional version, but there was also a 90cm that was not embroidered; it had the embroidered pattern printed on it. I assume that Mme Fontan is putting the exceptional scarf in one of the extra books, but the regular scarf is omitted by accident.
* Marble Balade en Berline. Missing indeed, although I believe those scarves were treated as exceptional so would be special / limited. (But if the first one is listed, this one should be, too).
* Brides Fleuries — missing, you are spot on, see above
* BdG love — there was a 90cm scarf (not sure if same year as twilly). Definitely missing. Might be treated as special edition for Valentine’s.
* Arms of the United States bicentennial edition — definitely missing. It’s obviously a special edition, but was missing from the 3rd edition, too.
