Scarves Scarf Of The Day 2019 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[HESAF]

Like many this week, I also had a search at one time for a scarf from the year I was born. I was a little more relaxed about it and was going to be happy with something that at least had an original release the year i was born, even if it was a re release. There were a few that I had searched for, and the one I found was Vinci...in mousseline...I do think this may have been the original issue, or at least some very early issue, because it doesn't feel anything like the mousses do nowadays so it ticked all the boxes of being vintage with an original release of the birth year...

And while I was casting my net for a vintage scarf from the year I was born....I also ended up catching one even older than I am by a decade.... Phaeton. It's old old old, drapey to the point of puddly (kind of like...oh never mind... ) and some of the initial ink lines have begun to fade a little. I had a hard time at first with the colors (not my best) but ever since I took the suggestion to drag it in to this century with a stripe top ( thank you was it @frou frou or @Pirula ???) it's been winner ever since.

I enjoyed your pictures, thanks for sharing! I am also inspired by your and many others' idea of getting a birth year design!

So fab with that necklace!! Love it!!

Gee, thanks, Luvbolide! I do too (love bolides)!

Amazing, I have a Prussian Bleu kelly, my first K, and that is pretty much the same color as colvert. I got several HS about 2015/16 that featured dark blue, specifically colvert. It's a very sophisticated color, don't you think? I like it much better than navy, which is more a mainstream color. I think it's wonderful that you acquired a bag in Colvert as it's hard to find. My PB K was purchased over a decade ago.
I think you have seen my Lime Kelly from this spring, no? I'm pretty sure you have and I appreciate your endorsement of my enthusiasm for yellow. Which I plan to continue.

I think I missed your lime kelly pic, eagle1002us. I agree with you....love Colvert, thumbs down on Navy. One enhances my skin tone, the other drains me. I had a Hapi bracelet with one side in Prussian Blue and found it too dark to suit me. Hermes has really spoiled us all about colors haven't they?!

Ohmigosh - that’s stunning! I love the color!
That Pico is awful cute too!

Thanks, girlfriend

I love the little beauties on Farandole! (And...so true..... j



I think BdeG en Finesse is probably one of my favorite BdeG iterations and it was really made for moussies.

Its a light and airy design, well suited for chiffon, I agree!

Too hot for a silk scarf, but I think I can get way with a chiffon one .
Today I will have a casual lunch with a couple (a little older than us. ) I want to relax but also try to look conservative, I give my Hermes 2002 a try. But the whole outfit look confuse to me . Maybe I have to Change my chiffon to some thing black and white to make the whole look not to colorist !!! Today is One of the day that I feel I meet “ first world problem” . I need help styling with my Hermes print bag. Please tell me what you think.
(Mod please move or relocate my post to the right one if needed.)
Have a wonderful weekend to all my Ladies.

I think the scarf looks great, in fact the whole outfit looks great together! THe only change I would suggest would be to change the sandals to something grey/white/beige, closer to the shorts, to lighten up the outfit.

I do love that mousse but I do think I would opt for a darker scarf with the Constance. You might try on of the current season 70s with it or the Quadrige 70 which ought to blend nicely.

At last I changed my Hermes2002 bag into Evelyn TPM. I want to keep my chiffon, I felt like I could not breathe if I had my Quadrige 70 around my neck at 85degree. And I am glad I make the right decision. It is very humid today. Thank you for your input though.

Last contribution from me before we start the next theme tomorrow. A little bit more fantasy universe building, this time from my 2nd favourite H designer Ugo Gattoni whose cutesey-pie horses populate his landscapes.

And a dreamy vintage scarf with animals rising up out of the ribbon. @Julide found a reference that identifies it as "Toile de Jouy" but there is actually no name on the scarf. It is part beauty and part creepy to me , fantasy horror?

And lastly, where would fantasy be without creatures that exist in a world other than ours?
Mythiques Phoenix, a swan-like bird from Nuees Imaginaires, winged horse Pegase, blue robotic spider spinning a leather web in Flamboyant Web, and the electric blue animals in Maitre de Foret would be right at home in James Cameron's Avatar.

What a fun collage of Gattoni's scarves! Cool.

Hi, scarf friends! This is completely off-topic, but I have been researching Le Geographe and thought I would share. Let me know if I am missing anything or if there are any inaccuracies.

I believe this is a 1992 edition; Sandra Laroche is an Australian artist behind this design. She is a member of the Australian Society of Marine Artists, which explains her choice of the subject. She has designed several other Hermes scarves as well (Au Clair de La Lune, Mon Ami Pierrot, Fleurs d'Hiver, and Per Astra ad Astra).

My favorite feature of this scarf is a kangaroo + anchor jacquard design -- it really is quite impressive and I wish Hermes still had jacquard fabrics made to go with individual scarves.

The scarf is named Le Geographe after one of the ships on the Baudin's expeditions which focused on exploring Australia, its coastline, flora and fauna. 3 men from those expeditions are also featured on the scarf -- see below.

The center part features a kangaroo, a platypus, and emu, and a wedge-tailed eagle (I think), all of which are endemic to Australia. They surround a map adapted from Carte générale de la Nouvelle Hollande -- arguably the first modern map of Australia. It was published in 1811 and it was a direct result of the Baudin exhibitions. The eagle is holding a banner with the words Orbis Australis dulces exuviae, which means Australia's Sweet Spoils -- the bird image with the banner are adapted directly from the map as well. (You can see the original design and more historical information here.)

The scarf's corners feature four famous men connected to Australia:

• Nicholas Thomas Baudin -- Le Geographe's captain, naturalist and explorer; the eponymous Baudin expeditions contributed greatly to Australia's cartography as well as understanding of its zoology.
• François Péron -- chief zoologist during the Baudin expeditions.
• Charles Alexandre Lesueur -- naturalist and artist during the Baudin expeditions; helped collect and document (through sketching) Australian fauna at the time.
• Matthew Flinders -- the only Englishman amongst the group of Frenchmen, which is interesting since England and France were at war for most of the duration of the Baudin exhibitions. They did have a famous encounter at what is now Encounter Bay, wherein they exchanged their maps and realized Australia was actually a continent and that they had covered the entire coastline between the two of them. Flinders' bragging rights include naming Australia, as opposed to calling it New Holland. Interestingly, he had a famously adventurous cat called Trim (personally, I think not to feature him was quite an oversight).

Sorry to be off topic, I really love this scarf and I really love seeing everybody’s jacquards. My question is: do we have a dedicated Hermes Jacquard reference thread? My search results only return random conversations. TIA - help would be much appreciated!

There is one, but it has been inactive for many years.

If you post your jacquards on it, it might create interest and revive the thread.

If what you are seeking is a list of jacquard designs or info about jacquard, you can try:

I have found another (perfect) scarf to go with my Hermes2002 Quadrige print bag
https://www.hermes.com/us/en/product/le-grand-prix-du-faubourg-scarf-90-H003166Sv16/
I have to wait until next week to pick it up in store. Thanks for your idea grey/white/beige, but my sandal will not come that fast, I have to wait until the end of July.
Hopefully, I will have a picture perfect image to share.

Thank you, katriona!


Thank you, eagle1002us! My bag is a 22 cm Picotin in Colvert. I would love to see your yellow bag! My primary colors are yellow, orange and turquoise, with olive trailing along after them. This bag was listed as some other color on the reseller site. I called them and said, "Isn't this really a colvert, not a x?" They checked it out, changed the color listed, since I was right. I then promptly bought it!

You definitely have a good eye for color.

This week, our theme crosses over the Independence Day celebrations in the US, so American scarfies, show us how you incorporate your H scarf into your festive look!

THE NEW WORLD
Scarves about explorers or North America​

According to Dr Wiki, North America extends from Canada all the way to Mexico. So I have the perfect cross-over scarf: fantasy flowers in Pivoines and fantasy gelatine flowers which I learnt to make yesterday, and which is an art originating from Mexico!

This is one of my favourite scarves - Tsitsika which celebrates the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest Coast. It is subtitled "Les Indiens de la cote Pacifique, Nord-ouest de l'Amerique et du Canada".

And going further south, two scarves which juxtapose diametric views of the US for a film fanatic like me: Dallet's Mustangs which show the wild and rural US that mesmerized me in movies like Shane and The Magnificent Seven, and Graphic Night's Manhattan lights which symbolize all the city-based movies that Hollywood produces.

H has issued many scarves commemorating explorers. My favourite is Expeditions Polaires Francaises which celebrates 150 missions to the Artic and Antarctic undertaken in the 1940s.
