Oh, this is so much prettier than the pics on h.com would lead you to believe!L’esprit de la fôret 2
I am in so much trouble with this design this season! Just gorgeous!L’esprit de la fôret 2
Thank you for sharing Jan's IG post. I'm always interested in the H scarf artist’s thoughts, other works, and, of course, their original colours for a specific scarf design(lacking info on that - like Ugo's Grand Prix - then the artist’s favourite cw done by the H team). These draw me closer to the scarf.

Just checked Jan Bajtlik’s Instagram post and the CW that he chose/posted of Animapolis is CW1: the one that I and many of us here chose as well.
L’esprit de la fôret 2
That color way, which I had not known about until your post, is simply wonderful on you.L’esprit de la fôret 2
Could'nt say it better!
I'm quite disappointed, + 20€ for the carré wash is a big step.
I got CW5, but I like your way of presenting CW2.L’esprit de la fôret 2
Great comparison collage. Both are so stunning! Please post as much as you can of the Esprit in action! Lovely design!View attachment 4292724
similar but still very different. I don't know if I would wear them together...
@eagle1002us, I really like your interpretation, it is a butterfly wing and a bird's wing soaring high with the forest below.
I ordered 2 CWs of Esprit de la foret, more pictures to come...
At home sick with the flu: time enough to take some pictures: are these flu shots?
I ordered 2 CWs of L'Esprit de la Foret, CW 7 and CW5. I like Alice Shirley's art, the forest down below in between the wings reminds me of Jardin Anglais (none of the CWs appealed to me so I never got one). I like the "claire de la lune" color combination (CW5), this is the pattern that sings to me most.
But I am still not sure if I like how it ties: huge blobs of color next to intricate leaves. the feeling of flying high above the forest gets lost when tied (but I still know about it, it has the feeling of freedom).
On the other side it is a real chameleon scarf, depending on how it is knotted many different looks can be achieved.
Also the back side is almost as saturated as the front side.
CW 5 will be my darkest/gloomiest scarf ever if I keep it, it is darker than pictured.View attachment 4292749 View attachment 4292750 View attachment 4292751 View attachment 4292752 View attachment 4292753 View attachment 4292754 View attachment 4292755 View attachment 4292756 View attachment 4292757
I hope you feel better soon! Such a wonderful CW... deep and rich and lovely colors. Congrats on such a beauty!
CW3
very cheerful, summer scarf. The orange/yellow is the color of egg yolk, somehow the pattern reminds me of eggs sunny side up.View attachment 4292770 View attachment 4292771 View attachment 4292772 View attachment 4292773 View attachment 4292774 View attachment 4292775 View attachment 4292776 View attachment 4292777 View attachment 4292778 View attachment 4292779
Same design but completely different vibe in this CW. I just adore this one! The perfect summer scarf! Congrats! Love it!
I’m also considering a second CW and am looking at CW2 and CW8... each completely different from my CW1... definitely worth it!View attachment 4292874 I am on the hunt for another cw of Animapolis! I usually limit myself to one but this scarf is too wonderful. I found all ten colorways on the site for Canada, thought it might help for some.
Below are the cw numbers arranged by reading left to right for pics above, then next row, etc. for H003275S Animapolis.

This is legit the cutest modeling photo of this scarf! Totally makes me want this cw [emoji5]![]()
So adorable! I loved reading the story on Instagram! I sent the artist a private message asking him permission to use the pic in my upcoming post (probably for this weekend) about Ajimapokis... And Kluska is wearing my CW! Jan Bajtlik is so gracious and kind! What is your Instagram handle so that I can follow you?L’esprit de la fôret 2
Yes!! CW1 is the closest to his original drawing and the one he’s been posting about. Today he posted about Jane Birkin holding the scarf and her choice was also CW1. That was definitely my first choice as well... although it’s such a great design that you really can’t go wrong with any of them. I’m contemplating adding another CW and trying to choose between CW2 and CW8...So apparently cw 01 is the one closest to the original drawing. I asked on Jan Bajtlik’s IG post, and he replied right away! I was so surprised - what a gentleman!![]()
There are some gorgeous exceptionals on the US website nowNot even close to being in my budget, but boy are they lovely!

I also sent a private message to Jan Bajtlik asking him permission to use the picture he posted of Kluska wearing the scarf because I’m getting ready to post about Animapolis soon and would like to include the photo. (I post regularly about my Hermès scarves with extensive background and history on Instagram.) He was so gracious and kind, and mentioned that soon he will post about where to find his self-portrait on the scarf and about the various buildings and his inspirations. So cool! What is your Instagram handle so that I can follow you?
