Excellent! not orange at all, LOL. But fish-scale? maybe carp?Gates has grown on me. I left it aside for more than a year after acquiring it because I thought it was too orange (ironical coming from an H fan). A few weeks ago, while happily digging around on the internet, I found the cw description: Capucine / Ecaille / Saumon.
Gorgeous - as always!
Tres chic! I especially like the second!
These are just fabulous, Fifi. Gobsmacked with the Fantasies Indiennes and the Zenobie. Wow! What color is that border on the Ballets Russes? It looks black to me.
You look so chic, AnnaE. Headscarves are so pretty and have a touch of old-fashioned glamour.
Cookie, love both scarves but the Les Amoreaux with that gorgeous sweater is just lovely. You look très chic.
A little housekeeping here, thanks to folo up by @Living.la.vida.fifi, the story of the carriage behind the Balade en Berline design, from Hermes.com:
The story behind
Hermès has long enjoyed a special relationship with France’s Musée National de la Voiture et du Tourisme, in Compiègne. Dating from the early eighteenth century, the Berlin carriage depicted here is one of the museum’s great masterpieces, inspiring Wlodek Kaminski to create a scarf revisited in this magically cropped design. Forced into a hasty getaway from Madrid in 1808, the Spanish King Ferdinand VII and his retinue chose this solidly-built vehicle rather than a lightweight, ceremonial carriage. Surprised by its “utterly Gothic” appearance, the Prince de Talleyrand (the exiled King’s host at the Château de Valançay) wrote: “This obsolescent form had about it something of the obsolescence of monarchy itself.”
But the carriage’s epic journey didn’t end there. Abandoned after Ferdinand’s departure, it languished at Valançay until the early twentieth century, when it caught the eye of an antiques dealer, and finally a garage-owner. It was examined by the Musée de la Voiture’s Board of Friends (including Mr. Hermès himself) in 1936, but was judged too expensive, and was finally acquired for the French national collections in 1951.
Why is it that you can look so good wearing a scarf this way?? I tried this, and I think I might be mistaken for either a beggar or a peasant.
I have a similar feeling. This being said, I think it looks great on you!Why is it that you can look so good wearing a scarf this way?? I tried this, and I think I might be mistaken for either a beggar or a peasant.
