Astrologie by Francoise Falconnet was first issued in 1963 according to piwigo. Been reissued I don’t know how many times, but there are lots of colorways out there. I still haven’t zeroed in on a cw for me yet of the original. Here for reference.

Here is a new to me NEW version from 2022 called astronomie astrologie in double face with FF and Gianpaolo Pagni. Snowing here so I have the coziest of wraps around me today. It has a pale pink in it, though it isn’t showing as much in photo. So I thought a way to lighten up all my black would be this bright cw. I am wearing it as a neck warmer today, but also like it long so it dampens the black even more.

I also have astrologie nouvelle by FF and Cyrille Diatkine from 2012.

And another version, Astrologie Nouvelle Tatouage, from 2018 which I would also like to get.
And as other scarfies have talked about the mousseline Astrologie sunrise recently released. And an amazing maxi twilly and and and and ;)

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

@Croisette7, This CSGM with the the gold, grey, and black is gorgeous, great color combination “sehr schön”

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

I want a Mr. Pickles. He’s cute, sounds entertaining, and looks good with scarves, @bunnycat
Thank you Nhare. He is a cutie.

Feel better @xincinsin ! Thanks @Redbirdhermes for the Galop Volant post and DR’s current scarf info. Thanks @Nomad @Nhare @MAGJES and all the silky likes.

many moons ago during my early days of H scarf collecting (er, hoarding), I fell in love with Rocailles by VALERIE DAWLAT-DUMOULIN. I love seashells and I thought the classic design in the blue colorways could always be framed if I ever was lucky enough to have a beach house. Years later the incredible Reve de Corail and Chemins de Corail, both by Annie Faivre came along and I pounced on those too.H was very keen about specific subjects and objects in earlier times. I’ve noticed a departure from that approach with the more recent designs being more whimsical in style.

i kind of miss Annie Faivre’s designs and hope to see her work again for H.

Great presentation! So beautiful to look at! You are right your Reve de Corail and Chemins de Corail are incredible!
 
Cathy Latham’s 1996 Confort en Automobile gave tribute to Jose Zinoview’s illustrations of Catalogue De La Maison Hermes (circa 1925) L’Elegance et Le Confort en Automobile.

The 2023 reissue uses more striking contrasting colours:

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

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.
View attachment 5696038
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.
View attachment 5696034
I have two.
View attachment 5696031
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.
View attachment 5696039
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!
View attachment 5696042
The Mineraux are wonderful. A design I have been looking for. I was excited for Pierres et Cristaux but couldn't quite warm up to its abstract nature. It's fabulous on you.
 
Here you go, @EtsyBoss! I am twin/sister with @lanit and happy to share the flat thumbnails so you can see. The first two are the Annies and the third and fourth are Valerie Dawlat. The details on each are incredible. You could spend hours poring over them...

Thank you so much for sharing these as a collection we can view together. I love the concentric rings and the strong compass- like coordinates /points they all have in common. You are so right, one could spend hours admiring all of the little details.
 
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 :graucho: )

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...
View attachment 5696252
The MT Cut is fabulous and I agree that @Nomad shouldn't get rid of all black. Thank you for your kind words. There is a big ocean between my mom and me so no scarf sharing and I think Cosmos is one of her favorites.
 
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.

View attachment 5695771

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.

View attachment 5695775

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.

View attachment 5695780

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.

It's magnificent and I have not seen it before. Absolutely lovely and unique and a treasure.
