Thank you! I think your dreamy Lagoon K would look very at home sitting atop a pillow made from this one.... :smile:

This is so beautiful! I love it paired with your sweater, too! I have two scarves with this color (Dallet's "Sichuan" and Parures des Maharajas) so I can't justify another in this cw. That being said, if I didn't already have the the S and PdM, I would JUMP on the cw you bought! Look at how gorgeous those birds are!!! The soft pink branches and trunk of the tree is dreamy! You should keep this one, especially if you don't already have scarves in this color.

Thanks, @Ladybaga! Ooooh I know EXACTLY which Sichuan you mean because I've admired that colorway quite a few times-- it's beautiful. Looking through my scarf drawers, the closest analogues I have to this shade of green are an Eau de Nil plissé Clerc scarf (far paler than this green) and the absinthe original issue Au Coeur de la Vie (more vivid and more yellow-green). I'm definitely seeing an argument for hanging on to this one. :graucho:

Lanit, I absolutely LOVE your Equateur! Stunning in white-- and I agree with @falarose, it reminds me of the beautiful china version of this pattern, which suits the motif so beautifully.



Miami it is! Mystery solved. (cc: @momasaurus)

While I had it out I threw it on a couple times with a dark teal sweater. It certainly does play well with deep sea-green. Hmmmm. Having a hard time maintaining my resolve with this one!

(Excuse my bobbles; looks like it's time to dig out my cashmere comb!)

That is stunning!! It's like a collector piece. I would be hesitant to use it because it is just so pretty!

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.

Both the Pivoines and Animopolis you selected are stunning, and I find myself drawn to those as well (trying to stay sane for Spring choices!) I agree with you on most of Dallet's works. They tie better for me in VERY large scale or pocket square size and nothing in between. for Equateur- the only thing I'd probably be doing with it is bias fold to show the center cat....and I'd still want the cat bigger....You might have a look at the Maxi Twilly cut that's out and see if the longer format makes for better tying....that's what I am hoping as I do love Equateur as a design.

This colourway is superb. A lot more cheerful and richer in colours than the one I chose. Unfortunately, I know it would look no good on me.
But it is yummy!

I wasn’t sure at first , but I’m really loving the Equateur on your teal pullover, it’s pulls glamour and taste ....a scarf to wear on the Orient Express maybe?
Is there a sloth on Equateur ? If so I may be joining you !

That absinthe Au Coeur de la Vie is magnificent! I do hope you keep this wash silk. Dallet's artistry transports me to the scenes in his scarves. Your Equateur is definitely a keeper!

Haven't yet seen the SS19 scarf book but in lieu of that, there is a (relatively) new Scarf Pop Up book. Not sure if this is really the right forum for it - as it covers the various designs of H scarves, not just for this season. I did see that someone mentioned it in the "H most recent purchases thread" but I was given this as a gift by my SA (although I do think it does retail for EUR 29/$40, so it was really kind of them to just give it to me!).

Here are a few pics from it. It is not really large (about 22cmx22cm) and there aren't many scarves in it (not like the large coffee table book) but is a cute thing to have for the die hard H scarf fan

This is a pull out tab that changes the scarf from one design to another - there are a few like this. Very reminiscent of a child's book.

Thank you for showing these pictures - I wonder if it would be possible to show up at my local H and just buy the book without acquiring else. - I am “grooming” an SA there by talking about H scarves, esp older ones, she’s only been there a few months and seems eager to learn. Haven’t bought anything from her yet, since I do my H scarf buying abroad due to VAT benefits:-)
