Scarves Scarf of The Day 2023- Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[ajaxbreaker]

Hermes opened their store at 24, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in 1880.

Over time the building was updated. By 1975 a roof terrace had been added. Here is Robert Dumas standing on it.

And, later the horse mounted artilleraryman was added.

Looking at my scarves, I find that I own at least six different designs featuring the 24 Faubourg building.

The oldest design from 2004 is Dimitri Rybaltchenko's delightful Christmas snow globe in Noel au 24 Faubourg.

In 2007 came Benoit-Pierre Emery's fantastic kaleidoscopic design in Faubourg by Night.

In 2014 the rooftop artilleryman became the caped crusader in Dimitri Rybaltchenko's Minuit au Faubourg.

Three years later Rybaltchenko featured the building again as extraterrestrials invade Hermes in Space Shopping au Faubourg. This is one of my very favorite designs.

The following year Ugo Gattoni featured the building as the Formula One Grand Prix race came to Paris, Gattoni style, in Le Grand Prix du Faubourg.

In 2021 we find that 24 Faubourg has been overgrown by the jungle in Octave Marsal and Theo de Gueltzl's Faubourg Tropical.

In addition, the men's scarf Faubourg Party, by Tibor Karpati, is currently available and features the building transformed into a fantastical nightclub.

My scarf of the day is Space Shopping au Faubourg.

Great, great post RBH! I love that image of 24 Faubourg from 1880.

Let me shamelessly piggyback on your post by sharing a few Faubourgs of my own:

Faubourg Rainbow CSGM by Dimitri Rybaltchenko - with its exuberant, psychedelic reimagining of the iconic building and its bright colors, this is one of my favorite H scarves of all time


Le Grand Prix du Faubourg Maxi Twilly Slim:


Animapolis, of course, features Kluska peeking out of a window, on the bottom right corner of the scarf (no modshot as my Animapolis is framed)


Finally, Retour a la Nature CSGM from this season also features the building, peeking through some lush foliage:

Thank you so much, Ajax! I knew there were more Faubourgs out there, and you have identified some that I even have in my own collection. Lovely scarves on you. Thanks for sharing.

I think I’m on theme for this week with two favorites.

 

[Maedi]

SOTD: Sous le charme.

 

[Lellabelle]

Sending my appreciation for the well researched and informative posts this week. The connection between new and historical designs offers a new perspective and appreciation.

Off theme today, but sharing my lovely laboratoire, which was my SOTD

Happy Tuesday, Scarflandia!

I love this excursion into 24 Faubourg. Such fun!

Thank you, dear @bunnycat and @LKBNOLA .

The great thing about reissues is that they don't take anything away from the original. Who among you doesn't hope for Samurais or Sieste au Paradis again ?
For today, especially since the days are a bit longer, I chose Mythical Phoenix coloriage. Its contrasting centre is really surprising when it is tied.

Maybe one day I'll also find the tattoo version which I think is beautiful.

Thank you so much, Ajax! I knew there were more Faubourgs out there, and you have identified some that I even have in my own collection. Lovely scarves on you. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you RBH!

Thinking it over I realized there are even more Faubourg scarves, which I do not own but I know some members here do:
1. La Maison des Carres by Pierre Marie
2. Objets de Curiosite with its cool birds eye view into the building
3. Faubourg en Perspective mens losenge from this season which stretches the building out to resemble an optic game
4. Hermes Factory

In all of these scarves you can clearly see the mounted cavalryman from the roof. Very cute!

 

[LKBNOLA]

Oh- this is so stunning on you LKB! Is this more green you are trying to add on for 2023?

Thank scarf sista!

Well, now that you mention it @bunnycat, it could go into my file of photo evidence to challenge Kermit the Frog's assertion that it isn't easy being green...that green-grey color is very lovely to wear! Thank you for the compliment!

Wore Brides et Destin to work today.View attachment 5695059

Beautiful, twin! Looks lovely with your polka dots. I have pulled mine for this theme week too. Love how you styled it @mktlim.

For @ajaxbreaker and @Redbirdhermes and adding to the 24 Faubourg love, here is an archive pic of Hermes Factory.

Very lovely @Coco2606 and happy to be sisters on this one. Good point about the reissues.

Good morning. I am so happy to introduce my third 1953 design scarf which just arrived in the mail yesterday! This is Mail Coach by Hugo Grykar, first issued in 1953 and reissued in 1984, according to Fontan. No other dates are given so I am assuming this scarf is from 1984 (remarkable!). It celebrates the Mail Coach and its coachman/driver with nine postcard vignettes on a background featuring top hats, cockades and jacket buttons in the corners-- all features of the coachman's uniform, as well as that badge of honor, his whip. Perhaps Grykar was influenced by his own work-- just the year prior he had designed another scarf celebrating means of public conveyance! Grykar is considered "the father of Carre Hermes-- he designed the very first carre and of course, the iconic Brides de Gala. Here's the link to a marvelous post by Carre de Paris; worth the moment to read: https://carredeparis.me/2013/05/19/hugo-grygkar-the-father-of-the-carre-hermes/ Huge thanks to @momasaurus for inspiration on which cw to search for and @Nomad for stellar assistance in my successful hunt!

I visited last years lantern festival and it was so much fun! So many fab gems and borders and we are twins on a few!

Fortunately I live less than three miles from the venue and appreciate the ease of attendance. I really enjoyed the traditional dance, martial arts, and acrobatics performances on the main stage This year!
