I love the way that looks around your neck! I never would have thought it would be that beautiful IRL. I hadn't even considered it in that color way until just now. The vivid blues and purples and light greyish white color. Stunning.

All very beautiful choices to share @calexandre, though you may not keep all. I’ve already the white summer silk Equateuer, but was excited about a washed silk version. Now not so sure but hopefully will not duplicate what I have already. And agree with you re Peony silk. I am waiting to try these in person, but wondering if I can wait until a larger format is issued since I don’t wear 90s as much anymore. I also agree about the scale and busyness of Animopolis. I already have a couple of Ugo Gattoni silks and happy with those designs and colorations. Just a comparison for you of Equateur summer silk frim over several years ago for reference.,.did not want to be off topic, but hope it is of help in coloration discussion of the new issues.

I nabbed a few scarves off the European site before the holidays to beat the price increase. I've only just picked them up yesterday since I was away during the break. In the meantime, I'd had a chance to try on a few colorways of Peonies while out of town, and was convinced that I'd be sending back the one I ordered. Much as I loved the idea of it, the colorways I was trying on let the mystical cityscape fade into the background, leaving the peony petals looking a bit too literal for my tastes. I LOVE peonies, and think flower petals look fantastic with some people's style, but garland-of-petals just doesn't work with what I'm wearing these days.

So I was shocked and very pleased to find that colorway 04 of Pivoines reads very differently on me than the others have! The dreamy and mysterious fantasy city is rendered in a purpley blue and jumps off the pale peachy-rose background. The flower parts are actually neon, which gives them a wonderful eccentricity that's as far from photo-real as can be, but the neon is tempered by the softness of the background. If you've been trying on Pivoines and having the same reaction I have to it, I definitely recommend giving this color a go.

Next surprise for me: Equateur in the washed silk, which I was sure I would be keeping. I've always loved this pattern, although I've never owned a scarf in it. I have the Tatouage heels and Apple watch band, and have been eyeing the wallpaper as well. Pattern I love + a colorway that looks like the lovechild of eau de nil and menthe seemed like an obvious win for me, but... turns out I don't love how it ties. Tying it just doesn't change it much; no matter what I do, it's a ring of animals, albeit enchanting ones. In a bias fold, I don't think they show quite enough for impact. I do like how they look draped loosely over the shoulders in a triangle, but I don't wear scarves that way very often. This one is probably going back, although the colorway is hard to give up. However, for those whose style better suits the way this ties, the colors and the feel of the silk are dreamy.

The pic in the box is truest to the real color on my screen.

Finally, Animapolis. I found this scarf charming flat, but didn't even try it on when I saw it during the holidays; I have a fraught history with super-detailed tiny-scale patterns. Kluska's modeling shot and story persuaded me I needed to give it a go anyway, and I was delighted with how well this semi-finesse colorway works for me. I don't love that it's the same "palette" as the Pivoines-- seriously, these regimented palettes, UGH HERMES-- but the pattern has charmed me enough that I'm going to try to put that out of my head. It'll stop me from getting any more designs in this color set, however, no matter how cool they may turn out to be.

One thing I really like about Animapolis is that it creates different looks when folded on its alternate biases. When I tried the Equateur, a TPF friend with me commented that Dallet probably didn't really think about how the design would look tied in different ways, which I think is a solid conjecture. Animapolis is the opposite; it's MEANT to be worn and it transforms according to each knot. Not everyone wants or needs that from a scarf, but it's definitely a selling point for me.

Wow! Thanks for all the beautiful pix and analysis!

I have a question for you @lanit . Are all scarves in 90 cm eventually released in the 140 cm size, or are only some of them released in a larger size? How can a person find out which scarves might make it to the 140 size in the future? I am absolutely crazy over one of the new designs - Kawa Ora - which has yet to arrive on any website, and the only thing that could possibly make that one "better" in my opinion would be if it were released in a larger shawl size.

Love the greens. And the "eggs" look interesting. A scarf for a hardboiled scarf addict... :angel:

@xincinsin, I prepared myself a snack to honor your post (even added hot sauce to imitate the red dots). But I was impatient so the slices of egg fell apart...

Dear Mrs. Shirley, if you see this, I hope you forgive me and get a great laugh out of it!

Hmmm, great question, Moma. I see the color families pretty clearly in some of the other Equateurs, but am not sure what this falls under.

This color would be great on you too, so it would be lovely if it surfaced elsewhere....

I believe this would fall under the Miami color family?
If you’ve still got the scarf with you, it should be right there in front of the colors on the tag, probably abbreviated “MI”?

It is hard to know which scarves may be reissued in a different format in a future season. Not all 90s are eventually rereleased in 140 or other format.
