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!)

Fabulous. I know that sweater (jumper, Br.), so I am seeing the true colors on my screen. Yummy! Lady (as the car salesman said to me), you gotta prediggament!

PILLOW!!! Great idea.

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.

Thank you so much for this thorough and thoughtful analyses... so helpful, especially on the Pivoines! Wonderful choices! Congrats!

I like Dallet so much that I could not resist...
I do not mind the wide border, I like very much old designs.

It is stunning in this CW!

As per usual, lurking and loving the beauties and information everyone has provided. Here's my new Animapolis, CW 9 (NA/Ocre/Creme/Vert). I was loving the design but pretty sure I wasn't going to pick it up based on the CWs seen here as none of them would suit me but, as usual, IRL is another thing. I fell in love.

Here are some details for those interested in a better look at the colours. I believe CW9 hasn't been up on the forum yet:

I find it infinitely wearable, and this was surprising. Especially for olive/warm skin tones

Thank you for all the kind responses.

For those who asked, a few mod shots...it's late here so the lighting isn't that great but tried mimicking daylight with a makeup mirror. This does come across as very yellow dominated w/ splashes of green but there is a lot of beige, black and white in it which really helps it work as a neutral. It really depends on how you tie it. I think we've all seen other posts where this scarf morphs depending on what you do with it. This is no exception.

I usually shy away from these colours (you wouldn't know it by the sweater!), but I see this working so well with most neutral outfits (ivory, camel, beige, black, gray, etc.) as well as several deeper winter shades such as burgundy, pine, etc. I think it would look equally good with gold toned jewellery (see pic 2 & 3 for gold scarf ring) as well as with horn or pearls.

I am in love with this CW! Did not expect that it would be so beautiful IRL! I’m contemplating adding a second and was looking at CW2 and CW8, and now I’m adding this one to my short list... And, great knots!!

Haha, glad to know I'm not the only one who has seriously considered Equateur *just* for the sloth. I've not yet pulled the trigger, but I've similarly considered Tendresse Feline just for the fennec fox, and Sichuan for the panda

Count me in. I've acquired several scarves solely because of one element in them.

 

[calexandre]

Hey, lady! This looks fantastic on you and a perfect match for you. Fabulous!

:hug:

Have you decided to go for that fabulous Sieste yet?

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.

That MT is super-tempting in the bronze-y colorway, which I tried on recently. I have yet to be won over by the format, however. Maybe this will finally be the year.

I hear you about trying to stay sane. Honestly I should use one of the many perfectly good scarves I already have to blindfold myself so that I can't be tempted!

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 !

I think you should join me with both Equateur AND on the Orient Express. We can wear our sloths front and center while some tuxedoed waiter feeds us grapes.

Fabulous. I know that sweater (jumper, Br.), so I am seeing the true colors on my screen. Yummy! Lady (as the car salesman said to me), you gotta prediggament!

Ha ha ha excellent "translation" with jumper. But I believe what you're seeing are coloUrs

Haha, glad to know I'm not the only one who has seriously considered Equateur *just* for the sloth. I've not yet pulled the trigger, but I've similarly considered Tendresse Feline just for the fennec fox, and Sichuan for the panda

This seems totally reasonable to me (speaking as someone who saw the porcupine in Animapolis and knew that adorable little scamp was worth the price of the entire scarf).

Now that I have had a minute to really look at this one and other cws, I'm convinced this is the perfect cw (for me) of Equateur in the washed silk because it's got that beautiful aqua color I but also the animals really pop and are in a natural color. It also goes with the porcelain pieces I have from this line =) Thank you so much for posting this bc I normally ignore 90s as I don't wear them. This one will make a perfect display piece in my home in one form or another (framed or pillow). I may have a tough time not wearing it tho as the washed silk feels so divine. So are you keeping it???

Saw the Pegase at Madison a few days ago and it was gorgeous.

Yes... we will see all the pretty animals and the border will be in the back!

Julian.f, this is fabulous!! Thank you for sharing these pictures.My neutral heart loves this! I had wondered what colourway of this lovely design I could get that would highlight the characters and be neutral and I think this is the one! Congrats on your beautiful scarf!

Not the voice of reason I know but this cw is everything, not just the background either, the animals are varied, quite balanced, and naturalististic. It's quite breathtaking on you
