A post and a little challenge today...
The wonderful Annie Faivre has made the most economical scarf (maths H of course as we then want all of them) and the most beautiful cover.
Can you help me find the 18 designs hidden in "Au fil du carré" ?

Omg!
Now I want a Au Fil du Carre!
 
Taking off from @xincin's post this morning, I am posting two examples today. Two by Ledoux! The first, Carrick a Pompe, was issued in 1953 and so is on my list of birth year scarves. I was delighted that Hermes released a reissue last fall in the vintage 70 format. The original had already been reissued over the years in additional cws, but this one features a very cute border and a navy contrast hem.

My second example is a 140 silk-- Harnais de Cour en Patch. This design had already been reissued in CSGM, bandana and in tattoo redesigns over the years. Here is the description of the recent (2020?) 140 from the website.
"Philippe Ledoux is part of Hermès history. His Harnais de Cour design is reinterpreted here. The single harness from the original is multiplied by four to form a patchwork of pairs facing off. The richly decorated pieces from Ledoux’s composition are rendered here with a stark two-tone motif that covers half of each section."
I like this design very much for the blend of the traditional look with the two-tone patches-- which remind me of the saturated colors of dip-dye scarves and also of the bi-color tattoo version (although that was a jacquard). This is my SOTD.

Grateful for the distraction this forum provided in a very sad time for our family: scarves, kittens and dogs!
SOTD is the multi 2023 spring / summer scarf, not sure whether on theme with e.g. Brides de destin?

Dear Agrume, I send you my heartfelt sympathy for whatever you are going through at this time. :hugs: ❤️ Your grey/silver pairing is lovely.
 
Hello, Scarflandia. I am pretty sure any time a scarf has the word "remix" in the title it is likely to be a new take on a prior design! The very first Hermes scarf, “Jeu des Omnibus et Dames Blanches,” debuted in 1937, and was created from a woodblock engraving by Robert Dumas, a member of the extended Hermès family. Named after a popular parlor game, the scarf featured a group of women enjoying the sport at center, encircled by two concentric rings of horse-drawn buses. In 2007, Hermes issued a vintage 70 scarf of the same design to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first carre. And then in 2017, Hermes issued Jeu Des Omnibus Remix by Gianpaolo Pagni. This design puts a new spin on the first scarf print with the addition of geometric lines and circles. Here are photos of the original (which I do not have), the 70 vintage anniversary issue and my cw of the Remix:

Both are so pretty on you!
The green border Plumes is so lovely as is the new one but in such a different way! And I adore your cw of Ex Libris les Parisiennes @Croisette7. Beautiful color combo. And I too prefer the baskets on Les Pivoines :smile:

This is fantastic @ajaxbreaker-- I love both on you (and am posting Pagni today too-- following along in your path!

Thank you so much @momasaurus. An unexpected delight.

Such interesting analysis and two great formats of Dallet's iconic work (sisters on the MT Cut-- a fave of mine). I loved your close "reading" of the shawl for evidence of influence but wonder why it is going back? So interesting to me-- it is like landing in Oz from Kansas-- black and white to color...Thank you for a great post @ajaxbreaker!

As everyone has said, and I can only concur, orange is your color @Thelittlefoxes. To paraphrase the pop culture show "Orange is the New Scarf." (and the old scarf, too)

You look amazing in your Wild Singapore @Snausages-- go ahead and leave the classic to others (though I know you would rock that look too!)

Thank you for this information @Ashanti_Rose!

This is a terrific post and amazing that you have that Teuf-Teuf in such a fun color @Redbirdhermes. I think, like you, the side of Formule Chic that you are showing today has strong appeal for me...My DH loves classic cars and we are often to be found at fairs and shows featuring them. Now I need to wear an automobile scarf next time we go!

What fun and your muffler is beautiful @leechiyong -- such a surprising juxtaposition of the figure on the classic muffler. That's H for you! Always unexpected and delightful...

A lovely comparison and beautiful silks @Coco2606!
Thank you LKB ... I recently found a 2. basket in pristine condition.
Oh ... you have the blue one ... so beautiful, Nomad!
Dear Croisette,
Seeing your scarves is like being in a gallery of modern silk art! Smartly and beautifully presented!
Thank you kindly, Stylehound!
Table is adorable @xincinsin !





Fabulous examples @Croisette7 - curious if you have a preference for the old or new versions



Beautiful examples @ajaxbreaker !

You’ve tamed this swath of beauty @Thelittlefoxes - how did you do this?! Looks casual yet elegant

Love all these modern twists @Pirula - and love the jackets too!



TY @bunnycat and squeee with Pickles!

Ve never seen Teuf teuf - how cool to have this SE @Redbirdhermes ! And excellent points on the design elements

@leechiyong love your robots! Eager to see mod shots of your Farrier rectangle

H does feathers so beautifully @Coco2606

Sending virtual hugs @Agrume - you look great in the special scarf



Love the horses @LKBNOLA snd fabulous display of the Jeu evolution

TY @LKBNOLA but it’ll take a lot to get me away from dinosaurs and Kluskas :lol:

Love the brights @Teaforparrots and I’m envious of your blooming cactus - I’ve had mine for a year and it’s growing but not flowering. You must have a green thumb!

And looks great with the plaid @hermesguy

These pinks are wonderful @Nomad

TY @Stylehound !
Thank you Snausages ... honestly more to the vintage side.
Great comparison. The Plumes has such beautiful shades of green.
Thank you Maedi!

Subtle colors. So nice !
 
SOTD is my newest CSGM and only purchase so far from the current season, Mon Premier Galop in Naturel / Bleu / Corail

I love the graphic print on this one and how well the pattern goes with the weave!

Congratulations! It suits you so well greycity!

Very stylish!
 
Giverny was designed by Laurence Bourthoumieux in 1989 and features flowers from Monet's beautiful gardens surrounding the central image of the iconic Japanese bridge over his water lilies. The scarf is surrounded by a colored bamboo frame with a wide, solid-colored border and a matching hem. Here is a photo of my scarf along with a couple of photos I took when I visited the gardens in 2002.

In their A/W 2017 collection Hermes released a different Giverny garden scarf called Fleurs de Giverny by Christine Henry. Here we have a new interpretation of the famous gardens where the floral design fills most of the scarf, which is surrounded by a border of flower vignettes and a contrasting hem. The perspective is no longer from ground level, but is an aerial view. In place of the usual circular scarf designs of the past, Henry's scarf is based on a quarter section of a circle. For illustration I selected the Hermes photo of CW15 which has many pink flowers, much like the actual garden photograph above which I took from a second story window of Monet’s home.

My scarf of the day is the original Giverny.

These are so delicious on you Croisette! I love the bold graphics and they worked well in the large format.
