I have the pink and love it, have never seen this luxurious golden brown CW... Looks gorgeous on you. I adore this reissue, to me the matching with the leopard print is just wonderful.This is fantastic with your smocked top @MAGJES.
It is pristine, amazingly @Lellabelle and thank you.
I *need* to find a Brandenburgs for my collection @Nhare! Love your surteint version...
Happy to help always @EtsyBoss!
Beautiful both. I hope your mother lets you borrow it sometimes @Maedi! What a nice daughter you are. Your Clair de Lune is gorgeous on you.
Yes thank you @Nhare! I am on a mission to collect 7 1953 designs. I started with Plumes which is so beautiful and timeless and Carrick a Pompe reissue with its cute border and now this delightful Mail Coach which was a very happy surprise.
Thank you @Maedi! It turns out that I am twins with @Croisette7 and @momasaurus and I truly miss @turfnsurf on this thread. Her vintage collections and tremendous knowledge were so helpful and fun...
Oh, please don't get rid of all the black @Nomad. I disagree that it is horrible on you but now you have a beautiful closet of scarves for black to be a useful background and the scarves a buffer with your lovely coloring and gorgeous hair!
Oh you poor thing @xincinsin. I hope you feel better soon. Sending good wishes. This is a wonderful display and especially like your Glitch-- so rare and fun to see! And of course, ELeK!!!
Thank you so very much @Karenska-- it is one I learned from @MAGJES -- not sure what it is called. I'll see if it is on the tutorial thread and post a link.
The one that started me on the hunt for this design that totally captured my heart @Croisette7! Love it on your argyle sweater.
I have that madras bandana because of you @Karenska! Love this parade of Ex Libirs variations.
Wonderful to see these to compare @Croisette7. The large format a la Plume is so lovely too in its more abstract rendition...
I am in awe of your always breathtaking photos @lanit! Because I live on th ebeach half the year I too had to collect these designs! Twins on the Daulat and Chemins and sisters on Reve de Corail. Treasured pieces all.
Such a beautiful array of silks @lanit-- I am delighted to be twins on the bright and charming Mountain Zebra and the lovely Pivoines, as well as sisters on several. Like you, I love the artistic designs that highlight or hone in closely on beautiful natural subjects but also like you, I have made a place for all kinds of designs and cherish them. This season there is a new and lovely Annie Faivre in double face format! (not to enable or entice)
I have the Equateur Maxi Twilly Cut @lanit-- a favorite and an addition to the beautiful blue wash 90. I wish I had your discipline to avoid duplication of loved designs! Here's a thumbnail of the MT Cut-- it is a very lovely and useful format...

Soeaking of clouds rb, here is “Priéres au Vent” (Prayers in the Wind) is one of the earlier works of Dimitri Rybaltchenko designed for the Spring Summer Collection of 1996 and re-issued for the fall winter collection 1997. In fall 2001, it was issued as GM CS. “Buddhist pilgrims who armed with prayer wheels (visible at the four corners of the scarf) walk in procession around a stupa, the sacred monument which houses holy relics and whose complex architecture, dominated by the hemisphere, symbolizes the Elements. Up there in the clouds eagles also circle, gliding above the peaks, which point like Truth towards Heaven, and above the monasteries, from which emanates the quiet murmuring of meditation and asceticism.” (from Hermès Scarf Booklet Spring 1996).
Couldn’t resist showing off that cute pup prancing.
I love Astrologie. I didn't go for the Astrologie Sunrise mousseline because I don't like the 140 size, but whenever H next reissues Astrologie in another format I will get it... I still covet this embroidered version Hermes released a few years back but it's way out of my price range:
I could nearly fill an entire room if I frame my seashell scarves dear! Sadly no beach house yet as I have spent all my moola on silks hehe.
Feel better soon, @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.
View attachment 5696037
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.
View attachment 5696041
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!

Fabulous, @lanit !
I must say that you have absolutely mastered showing pivoines to its best advantage.
Today I'm looking at the "Chevaux" scarves in my collection, that is, my scarves which literally have "Chevaux" in their name. This includes my oldest vintage scarf, Chevaux de Cirque by Hugo Grygkar from 1948. I love these circus horses with their plumes, the bells jingling as they trot around the border, but best of all, the way the color registration is off ever so slightly in these old scarves. It gives them a depth which modern printing techniques lack.
In 1970 the prolific Philippe Ledoux designed Presentation de Chevaux. This scene of horses being shown to prospective buyers is surrounded by a round frame, accent drawings in the corners, and a broad border so common in Hermes scarves of that era.
Thirty-seven years later in 2007 Philippe Dumas gave us Chevaux de France. This scarf is quite different in that it is a cross-stitch design of horses of France. However, the corner accent drawings are still there.
My last Chevaux scarf was introduced two years ago as a modern double face scarf, La Danse des Chevaux by Jean-Louis Sauvat. Like many modern Hermes scarves, it features a colored hem. The drawing takes up nearly the entire space of the scarf, and the corner accent designs are gone.
Today I'm wearing my oldest, and softest vintage scarf, Chevaux de Cirque, as my scarf of the day. This is the only scarf in my collection that is older than me.
