Continuing to amaze, Croisette, and that blue heart slider is gorgeous. So pretty.

 

[Croisette7]

As always, just spectacular, Croisette. Wow!

Oh my word, Croisette, these are fantastic. Love them all, of course, but that last moussie is TDF. This is one of the happiest of designs, isn’t it? I have a plisse but you have convinced me that a moussie might be a very good idea . Using my mother’s ring as a scarf ring.

Thank you, dear Karenska! Yes, you need a Peuple moussie, it is a charming design.

Oh. My. Heavens! What a fabulous collex and I know now I *must* find a Panoplie

Both are gorgeous @EtsyBoss - that walking/coraly pink is wonderful







@Croisette7 your collex never fails to amaze but that changeant! I die

How fun @LKBNOLA ill have to see if I have anything with changing borders…

Looks fab with the pearls @Redbirdhermes

All those wonderful hems and borders! Keep them coming because they can apply to this week's theme too!

Something Old, Something New​

Explore vintage vs new designs which share similar themes

One of my birthyear scarves is Promenades de Paris. I was tempted to find one, but my birthyear has several designs I like and this one is still in my Maybe-Someday list. When H re-issued it a few years ago, it was updated as a 70 with a delightful striped hem.

Similarly, the dashshund scarf Les Teckels was given the update treatment. The cws were modernized, a bicolour border and a striped hem added, and even the name changed to Les Bassets.

Les Pivoines is one of my favourite designs. The showy blooms spill out from a basket to fill the scarf in this vintage design.
View attachment 5692394
The flower's appearance in L'Ombre des Pivoines is equally showy but reinterpreted as dreamlike and ethereal.

Dreams - a common theme in H scarves. Nuees Imaginaires illustrates a delightful collection of fantasy animals.

The fairly ordered dream descends into chaos in the amazing Nothing But a Dreamer which plays with both subject and perspective.

Take a look at your scarves. Do you see differences in the way a vintage design and a recent design treat the same subject? How does H update and change perennial favourites like Ex Libris and Brides de Gala? Come share with us your discoveries!

Fantastic intro for the week! Love your examples and I even have a few myself that will work well.

 

[Redbirdhermes]

Thank you for hosting hems and borders week, @Karenska , and welcome, @xincinsin , to old and new week.

Here are two scarves, both with large spotted cats and bright blue hems.



Robert Dallet's Panthera Pardus is from a painting done in a naturalistic style, while Baobab Cat from Ardmore Artists has a distinctly modern, rather cartoonish vibe. I've tied them on this morning wearing the same outfit and showing bits of the head of each cat. I think the most striking difference is the bright colors of Baobab Cat, versus the muted tones of Panthera Pardus.



I love both scarves and am delighted to show them both for my Scarves of the Day.

Thank you for this intro which annonces a funky and creative week.
3,2, 1 GO

Oops, sorry! The selected item is no longer available.
That's okay, I got it. Whoever knew how to host this marvel, please let me know.
When I saw the theme of the week, I told myself that I wouldn't have much to show and that I'd mostly be looking at yours. What I love about this forum is that it makes me reconsider my collection. I still have a few odds and ends for this week. I'll survive.
To start, an iconic piece: Brides de gala. If any scarf has been revisited, it's this one.

For a long time I thought I couldn't be a true H collector without one. But its wide edge and ultra classic design intimidated me.
And then, the En finesse version made me fall in love with it. So, when it comes to the future, I really like the shawl version (I think these colours would suit me well) or Brides and Destinies...
Here we go again!

Both have blue hem !

Thank you. What a delightful collection of Brides de Gala. Hermes certainly has worked this design over and over. So nice to see the differences.

 

[Redbirdhermes]

Both have blue hem !

Ha, ha, yes! I had any number of Dallet big cat scarves that I could have picked, but I love that blue hem on my Panthera Pardus.

Began the morning in this soft feminine Premier Chant... and then switched to red to handle some difficult business and happily rediscovered the lovely bamboo border detail on the Mythes et Metamorphoses. It even received a compliment from a college student, who has incredible taste for a young man if I do say so!

I’ve never seen this wonderful colorway of Mythes et Metamorphoses and it is such a beauty! Happy to be twins with Chant.

The Tohu Bohu on the pale blue is a fab pairing!

These are all soooo perfect!

More, more, more ! Please don't stop ! What a collection ! I'm going to spend a delicious time looking at the details !

Thank you @Lellabelle, @Maedi & @Coco2606 !

 

[Smae-ze]

Off topic but trying to get the wears in before I retire this beauty for the season. Annie Faivre’s Chavalier du Caucase. I love the deep jewel tones and find them very appealing late autumn to midwinter.

Peuple du Vent

I adore this colorway!

I only quoted on magjes but all of your posts were drool worthy. I am especially intrigued by your plaid which the name is escaping me. Awesome plaid colors.

Thank you for sharing your lovelies, MAGJES ... which one is the last with your grey sweater?

Thanks so much Croisette & Nomad!
The scarf is Ex-Libra’s A Carreaux.

 

[Croisette7]

Well, the old Pivoines





and the new one without the basket
