Sorry I 'm a bit late in replying - haven't logged on for a day or so. Thanks Shopmom411 and Suzie for your nice comments - I bet yours looks wonderful with the red border Shopmom.

Suzie - got my scarf from ebay (in the U.K.). I love dogs and horses, so really like the scarves with these designs. I believe Luxury-scarves.com have a "wish list" and will look out for a particular scarf for you. They are reputable dealers in Switzerland. :party:

hi all, just a couple of quick scarf related questions. Firstly, i was leafing through on old "Monde de Hermes" last night and saw a scarf i loved, Les Jardins des Coptes (Coptic Garden) in a wine and salmon colourway. the book was from 2004, do Hermes still make this scarf? secondly, and sorry if this sounds really really sad, but in the key to the scarves at the back of the book they had the item no, then the scarf title, then a descritpion of each scarf colourway such as red/purple/salmon ecru etc. is there a set formula for describing a particular colourway of a scarf (ie border colour first?) or does it vary. where there were multiple colourways of the same scarf shown i was finding it very difficult deciphering which was which. (i know, i should get out more!!). any advice appreciated.

There is no set rule, I can help describe the colors from names which are often French but JdC is a difficult pattern since there are several in nearly the same colors (eg green on mauve then another which is mauve on green) I can't find the design in my 2004 booklets (maybe I'm blind..)
It might be in a drawer in some H store but, it would not normally be in stock anymore

Title: Au Coeur de la Vie
(At the heart of Life)

Suspended between heaven and earth, nestling in the tallest trees of the Equatorial forest, the flora and fauna in this scarf weave in and out like the pieces of a gigantic puzzle. Together, they form a veritable canopy, a burgeoning of vegetation, swarming with extraordinary, little-known plant and animal life. The Au Coeur de la Vie scarf teems with a thousand unfamiliar details of the forest: unusual species of creeping vines, orchids, carnivorous plants, parrots, hummingbirds, small lemurs, insects, chameleons, butterflies … it reflects the infinite diversity, the incredible richness of equatorial life, the energy and imagination of nature. Difficult to reach and still largely unexplored, this milieu is the repository of a thousand vegetal treasures, green gold-mines and hidden secrets, a myriad of unknown living substances, plant cells bursting with the promise of life. It is up to us to protect this biological reservoir in order to understand its mysteries and to learn its lessons of beauty and health.
