Such great comparisons pics!Hi Julide. At first glance they might seem quite similar. But the Femme has more variation with blues and greens and a touch of taupe. The MP leans more eggplant with a similar taupe (femme leans a bit more brownand MP a bit more gray) and a few highlights of camel on the phoenix. And the black of femme is true black, whereas in MP it leans a bit green. Let me know if you need more pix.View attachment 4973304View attachment 4973305View attachment 4973306

Perfect choice! Now you have inspired me to go look for this one to try on! So incredibly beautiful worn with purpleOff topic SOTD: Flowers of South Africa 01!
Not at all dark (eh, I guess there's some black in the border), but it's been sitting on my shelf for two weeks just waiting to play, and I didn't want to wait any longer!

Super excited to add this one to my ever growing 2017 collection. I'd had this one on my ebay watchlist since I first started collecting last summer, and when it went on sale I pulled the trigger.
I really liked the black background reissue of this design from last season, but I don't think a 140 silk would get much play in my collection. I also considered adding one of this season's Marche du Zambeze cws (that yellow that @Living.la.vida.fifi has is a stunner!), but since both of these Ardmore designs have borders that read similarly to me (floral with a sort of lacy overlay), I think I'll just stick with this one. Obviously the centers of the two designs are totally different, but I usually knot my scarves in such a way that the borders/corners are highlighted most. Maybe if someone has both and wants to convince me otherwise with some modshots I would change my mind![]()
What a fabulous red! And, the jacquard is delightful... Everyone needs a red and black scarf!Introducing my red and black Mythiques Phoenix 70. It showed up a while back on h.com and disappeared just as fast. I decided I should have one of this popular design in my collection. Sweet that it also has the Quadrige jacquard.
Wearing Mythiques Phoenix with my ruby drop earrings today.

Question to self: how in the world did I never get a black Kachinas? Well, I recently got the giant silk, but I mean this more neutral 90? It is fantasticConference ready with black Kachinas, yoga pants and fuzzy socks.
All so beautiful, but that Bateaux that we both own is the winner... Gorgeous! And, all masterfully tiedA few black beauties:

Ha! This is wonderful! Such an exquisite CW of this amazing designHappy Friday everyone!! Thanks for the likes and loves and the many many laughs. You all make a long work week and below freezing temperatures so enjoyable with your banter, smiles, and scarf art. Last week when I went off in search of @Pirula ’s elek I said I’d post a pic of it the second it arrived. Little did I know it would arrive on my video free Friday and I wouldn’t be suited and booted for video calls as I usually am. Alas, here it is Golden Girls tee shirt and all. My mom (rest her soul) thought it was a total lark to buy me this one vacation because she often labeled my 2 best girl friends and me as the Golden girls because we had “old lady” tendencies according to her, and would often either be sitting at home on a Friday night when she at our age would be at the disco till dawn, or bickering about something inconsequential. @Hermes Nuttynut thank you for identifying the colorway for me!
All are glorious!
