Chaine d'ancre 90 in 58% cotton and 42% silk...the replication of the jewelry icon in the carré substantially complies with the week's theme, no?

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.

@LKBNOLA, that is a lovely border on Carrick a Pompe and tied so nicely to highlight it

I love your blue Les Mustangs bandana, @Karenska, I saw it on H.com but dilly-dallied and ‘poof’ it was gone.

Love the current iteration of JL. And while JL has been a favorite design of mine for a long while now, it's always been a little hard to wear (or downright frustrating) mainly because of the big blank border, the difficulty of featuring the "main feature" (for me) of the cats, and the problem that most of the other interest was fairly well hidden by folds leaving you with mainly blank areas or just foliage featured.

I originally solved that by getting the big CSGM so I could feature the cats and other creatures more more easily. And also the DD since I at least LIKED the border color, so didn't feel like it was as much of an albatross as it was for me on other releases.

View attachment 5694295


But Pagni's reinterpretation this season neatly solves all the problems in one go with the addition of the stamped foliage. Border interest? Check! I can see the cats? Check! Updates design with the tattoo printing? Check! Pickles added for extra interest. It was Kiss Your Ginger day last week, and I am behind on kisses! He really wanted to just go play with his favorite toy....

Clair de Lune could be inspired by LeDoux’ Cosmos (photo not mine). I used to have Cosmos but gave it to my mom. Both designs are dreamy.

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

View attachment 5694584

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

View attachment 5694585

And, later the horse mounted artilleraryman was added.

View attachment 5694586

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.

View attachment 5694587

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

View attachment 5694599

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

View attachment 5694602

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.

View attachment 5694604

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.

View attachment 5694609

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

View attachment 5694611

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 post, @Redbirdhermes, informative and with a great collection of Faubourg scarves

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!

Oh, how pretty. I adore this design and your color way is spectacular. Doesn't @turfnsurf have this, too?

 

[Maedi]

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.

View attachment 5695170View attachment 5695171

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

View attachment 5695418

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.

View attachment 5695419

Sur Mon Nuage is my scarf of the day.

View attachment 5695420

Thanks for showing the design details. That man with his head in a cloud is fascinating.

 

[Maedi]

Your Galop Volants are beautiful. Love the grey that @Redbirdhermes has also. Happy Lunar New Year, @lanit!

Nice color combination @Teaforparrots

So happy to be your twin and thank you for comisserating with the dark selfies
Clair de Lune in this color makes me reflect on my scarves. Most are more colorful yet this is so simple, impactful and easy to wear.

Hello twin!

I think I was on theme yesterday with Brandebourgs, reissued a few times and in different sizes. This is a Surteint.
View attachment 5695805

Beautiful colour!

Every time I see this one, I wonder why I don’t have it. Such a simple and elegant piece.


Lovely. This moody colourway is my favourite of the Faubourg Tropicale CSGMs. The pastels are beautiful, but there’s so much depth in the darker rendering.


A fabulous red! While the borders on bateaux are possibly my favourite of any design, I think I prefer the central motif and the colourways of jonques.

Thank you, Lellabelle!

Clair de Lune could be inspired by LeDoux’ Cosmos (photo not mine)View attachment 5695852View attachment 5695855. I used to have Cosmos but gave it to my mom. Both designs are dreamy.

[Nomad]

Sotd, joining the faubourg love. I don’t wear this moody cw nearly enough.
I will eventually get to no black in my wardrobe. It is horrible on me. Truly. So I am thankful for colorful scarves to go near my face during my closet transition

 

[xincinsin]

Apologies for my absentee hosting this week. After getting through the pandemic in relatively good health, I caught the flu bug this week

Scarfies who have been on SOTD for a while will notice that I have an obsession with rocks and gems. So it was only natural that I would find that vintage design Mineraux.

It was therefore a foregone conclusion that when H released a design on the same theme, I would jump on it. My three cws of Mineraux are quite naturalistic, so my SA was surprised when I chose the dark pink cw for Pierres et Cristaux. It reminded me of rock slabs which gemologists put under tests to check if they are natural, enhanced or synthetic.

Several scarfies have shown the multiple iterations of BdG old and new. I like H's remakes of Ex Libris, some of which are so different that they look nothing like the original. A few are on my wishlist.

An Ex Libris with grail status is EL en Kimonos.

I have two.

And inspired by @Julide's full array of this design, I recently acquired a third which is still in the mail.
Gattoni created a cute version EL Atlantis with the groom at the bottom of the ocean.

When I travel, I sometimes bring along EL Globetrotter which is in lightweight silk, a nifty smaller size and and shows the 4 points of the compass.

And one of my fave EL-based designs is Glitch. It depicts EL on a very staticky old TV screen. If you do not take a closer look, you would miss the pattern altogether. A techno interpretation of a very traditional design!

 

[Croisette7]

Oh thank you so much for showing this scarf and the large flat picture to see the design so clearly. This is so beautiful the color is just gorgeously watery -- perfect. And of course you were a big enabler/influence on the Bateaux...

And so very different in the red!

Ah, so happy to see this beautiful mod shot for inspiration and always happy to be twins @Croisette7 -- I just adore the button corners and the lovely saturated cherry red on this one!

Beautiful-- such a warm and lovely autumnal look. I just became a sister on this in a different cw. If other scarfies are searching for this design, and on the topic of reissues, I found this useful information on the Poupishop website-- very handy to identify the scarf and year. I can't tell from this tie if @Croisette7's has the Washingtons or the circle of squirrels at the center...Here's the info:
1970: 1ST ISSUE WITH CIRCLE OF SQUIRRELS
1979: WITH LADY & GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON
1984: WITHOUT LADY & GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON (CIRCLE OF SQUIRRELS)
2001: 100TH ANNIVERSARY, ART INSTITUTE OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS

My CSGMs are without the Wahsington‘s in the center.

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.

This is such an interesting post, Lkb, and both scarves are beauties, especially Harness de Cour en Patch. It’s dual qualities make it very special. The way you tied it makes it look smaller than a 140. Would you mind giving a description of the knot you used?
