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

[MAGJES]

I can't help but be struck by how Aline Honore's Tous les Bateaux du Monde, issued in 2013, is visually so evocative of Francoise de la Perriere's 1966 design, Jonques et Sampans. Both feature boats on a center field surrounded by a border. Of course the borders are radically different, the boats too-- Honore's inclusive "all" and de la Perriere's specific regional ones-- as well as the corners, but to me, the one seems patterned on the other. Perhaps it is just a maritime art convention, perhaps it is in homage, a nod to influence or merely coincidence? I've done no research beyond the issue dates so I do not know. I do hope we will see a mod shot or two of Jonques et Sampans...[hint, hint]

Happy Friday scarfies! Thank you @Lellabelle and @Coco2606. Lately I have been sticking with some of my favorite vintage silks. So off theme a little with sharing a grail Galop Volant by Dimitri Rybaltchenko. I wonder what he thinks of his older work for H vs. the more recent designs? have a great weekend all!

Thank you for the lovely shots of Dimitri Rybaltchenko's Galop Volant, @lanit . I want to compare the artist's older design with his new Sur Mon Nuage, which also features people and creatures up in the clouds.

But first, since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, here is my Galop Volant, which I sought out after seeing yours.



Last season Sur Mon Nuage was released and I fell in love with this quirky design.



Rybaltchenko's clouds strike me as being much more complex, and the scarf is quite full with a variety of people, animals and objects. Like many recent Hermes scarves, the design goes closer to the edge, and the scarf features a fancy bicolor hem. I like picking out different features and thinking about their meanings, such as this barefoot guy walking along with his head in a cloud.



Sur Mon Nuage is my scarf of the day.

I don't think I've ever noticed that little detail of the barefoot man with his head in the clouds in the Sur Mon Nuage, thank you for highlighting it and asking us to consider the symbolism. Ah to be that man, carefree dreaming and intimately connected to the path he's on.

With a nod to LKBNOLA, what I recall to be my 2nd or 3rd historic H-carré acquisition, Dubigeon's New Orleans Jazz. In my high school, college and graduate school life, I studied, pursued and played jazz with as much fervor as my academics, culminating with an award for "Outstanding Contributions to Jazz" in my MBA/JD graduation year at Notre Dame. Hence, NO Jazz was an immediate grail, which I have in multiples. This, with the chocolate border, was my first, circa 1994 or 95.

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!

You are really an expert with knots : the driver is exactly in the middle. Respect.

Adding another Faubourg scarf, Un jardin sur le toit, my SOTD.

Adding to the treasure trove that is Faubourg with this Tropicale CSGM with hints of the golden windows lit from within and bits of the famous Sellier sign peeking through. I'm hoping I can make a pilgrimage there to the mother ship in 2023

Thank you orchard! I hope to be your twin sometime...???? Pickles IS a darling.

I'm having fun with the game of find-the-Faubourg, lol.
Here's another one from L'Epopee d'Hermes (I don't own it)

Sharing one of my most vintage feel pieces - Coupe de Gala - in CSGM format.

"Wlodek Kaminski was inspired by antique prints for his 2018 scarf design, now revisited from a new perspective. This five-seater carriage, commissioned in 1894 by the Chinese empress Cixi from the highly respected Parisian house of Mühlbacher, impressed its contemporaries with its originality. It was even the subject of an article in the specialized magazine "La Carrosserie francaise".

I live hundreds of miles away from the nearest H boutique and rarely get the chance to shop IRL so this is one of the few pieces I actually bought in person! Fell in love with the color and how the classic design drapes to achieve a balance of classy and casual. Symbolizing being on the go with the carriage, it has now made a trip with me abroad (one of only two pieces to travel with me). This one got to see the Maldives, albeit from the inside of a suitcase. It did keep me plenty warm traversing airport land to and fro.

Now it warms my neck and shoulders while at work, filling me with memories of sunny island life.
