Brage, I know nothing of Croisiere and have pictures of Colombie dated "1960s" in my database, with no other information. Sorry.
Ladies! Thank you for your effort! I haven't found out anything re. The scarf so I guess I have to ask Hermes again (Jahna, I haven't heard from them yet re. The life preserver scarf). Sdsurfchick and Jahna, since you guys are so nice and helpful I will let you in on my secret (if you promise to keep it to yourselves!):
French eBay and Google translation, yupp, that does the trick!!
Also Sdsurfchick I got my Italian Hermes book and found this scarf, Banquires by Hugo Grygkar, I have it but have been wondering if it is real or not since I havn't seen it anywhere. Great book!
Sdsurfchick,
I am happy to report that after a month of stalking, I just won a rose/gris Vue du Carosse (de la Galère la Réale) just like you're modeling on h.com! Can't wait to see how it ties, this will be my first pink scarf and my first truly nautical scarf (because Jahna said the boats in Marché Flottant don't count!)
This is the aft view of the model of the royal galley La Réale from Musée de la Marine (The Naval Museum) in Paris that must have inspired this scarf:

Thank you everyone for enabling!

I have a scarf named France, which was a cruise ship and the scarf was sold in the ship in the 60s. The person who sold it on Ebay had all the documentation of the ship. Hermes seems to have done many scarves for ships, like the two Jeanne d'arc, one called Croiseur d'application and the other called Porte Helicoptre
Hi Ladies, Do anyone of you know if Le Jeu Pair impaire by Hugo Grygkar has been faked. I know there is one issue with a machinestiched hem in some crepe silk or something.
Grateful for any info.
Thank you and best regards,
I think there was a time it was presumed to have been faked because of the machined hem. Personally, I am changing those marked possibly fake to NOT fake. But that is only my (and a few other knowledgeable silkies' opinion.
I cannot find this scarf listed as Hermes in my database. This doesn't mean it's not Hermes. I just don't know. You can try to list it in the authenticate thread, which may have a greater readership than this one. Perhaps someone there knows.
Sorry, I don't know based on this one picture. Try posting to the Authenticate thread.I wondered if anyone can help, I don't know whether it is a wrap or a throw, has a large H woven in. It is huge and I have not seen this size in throws but I would swear it is a wrap. Measures around 82" x 56".
