How is it Fifi that you always have the best colorways of any design? And you always know how to tie them in the best fashion too.

The first time I saw Regina was when it was used as the cover and end-page design of Rosamunde Pilcher's 1987 bestseller "The Shell Seekers." The publisher thanks Hermes in the book. I ventured into this forum to ask what that wonderful design was and was surprised that everyone immediately knew. TPF is an amazing place.

Thank you for posting your colorways. Each looks so very different, especially when tied, but so amazing.

From the Hermes booklet “How to Wear Your Hermes Scarf” (1988)

REGINA

“This extravagant bouquet of flowers was arranged on silk by Hermès artists in honor of Queen Elizabeth II.
Designed to commemorate her official state visit to France in 1972, it is made up of the plants that represent the nations of the United Kingdom - the rose for England, thistles for Scotland, clover for Ireland and leeks for Wales.”

I didn't know that!

I believe there was a special edition in 2002 in blue/pink for her Golden Jubilee too.
