Thank you for the great hosting this week @HermesEchidna, very "inventive" theme and your new Voyage de Pytheas is spectacular!
I also love the leopard staring dreamily at the map. It is my favorite of the 12 (24) leopards on this scarf, maybe because I relate so much to the sense of wanderlust! 😄 🌎
My SOTD is Le Jaguar et Le Colibri which just arrived today and is just as gorgeous as I hoped it would be. There are soo many beautiful colors, I can’t imagine anything this scarf would not go with! To make it on theme, well, there are animals on it, so biology-adjacent and there are lots of geometrical patterns.
Bonus pic of our new king and queen from yesterday. (Not mine though, as @HermesEchidna, I also saw the huge crowds and chose to watch from home). As it happens, the queen also occasionally shops at H. Some time last summer I was waiting outside the CPH H store, a little bewildered as to why they weren’t letting anyone into the mostly empty store - until she came walking right past us and into the store.

I bought this scarf because I loved the fresh colors after seeing it on @Cookiefiend
But it actually has some math equations on it

Hello everyone, I am new to the Hermes scarf world. I collected 7 scarves in the past two months and will buy more. I saw some listings on internet saying "new with tag" and of course, the "new with tag " is meaning new with the store/retail tag, not the care tag. I know recent years, the store tag looks like what we see from any Hermes stores today. But I am not sure about the store tags in the older years. I came across some listings with store tags very different from what we see today. Do any long-time Hermes scarf lovers recognize them, are they real Hermes store tag? Please see the attached pictures, Thanks!

Oh that is just great. Had no idea that was hiding in the design 🤩

- was that the previous or new Queen? Honestly sometime I Think they make us wait outside just to make it more exclusive - it works though!!! And it is a great picture. New Q Mary is very elegant.

Nice find scarf1!
Hi there! In SOTD, we aren't able to really talk about authenticity questions. There are some paid services out there that can help.
Yesterday's SOTD was Cent Plis de Miao, which is another beautiful example of where art intersects with culture and human engineering.
The beautiful pleated skirts of the Chinese Miao culture give information about the origin of the particular skirt via the pleating methods and style and type of decorative application. They are a marvel of human ingenuity in their production, with the pleats themselves being hand pleated and set, and each pleat needing to be sewn on exactly picked up by the edge to maintain the flat, sharp look of the pleats. So even if they makers don't think they are using mathematics and science in the production, they most certainly are, even if it is at the intuitive level.

For your eyes only! What I actually looked like....

What I actually looked like....It was Mary.Ha. That is a Good story
And it is a great picture. New Q Mary is very elegant.
Outstanding post @Nomad, and great scarves too!So much creativity with the first two themes of the year. Loving everyone’s contributions. Thank you @bunnycat and @HermesEchidna for leading the charge. I never got to post last week and would love to add my one, late. The top scarf I thought of relating to week 1 with levity was the fun loving rascals on Les Triples. It is just a happy making scarf to me. I saw some other scarfies had the same thoughts. And @Living.la.vida.fifi where are those black and white striped stand boxes located in Paris? I would love to go visit there this summer.

And @Pirula reminded me about the connections we can make with family and scarves, AND science/math haha. My son is also studying stem in college. I bought metamorphose d’un carre because of the origami on it and my son’s love of origami. It requires precise folding and, at times, a lengthy blueprint of folds to get them just right, along with math for the right proportions. There are also tools used when you get real serious so your folds are perfect.
Most kids first foray into paper folding is with paper airplanes. A time honored science experiment in schools to measure who can get their paper airplane to travel the furthest. My son’s school did at least.
I know there was a recent scarf design with a bunch of paper airplanes on it! In a corner?? If anyone can remember which design it was I would greatly appreciate it!! In fact if I think about it there are a couple I have seen in the whimsical design category that have paper airplanes on it.
So here is my gav. I usually wear gavs in my hair. And here is my tattoo tribute to my son. I have another origami tattoo on the way on my leg.

There was an exhibition on origami in 1959 called “Plane Geometry and Fancy Figures," which was held in the United States, taking place at The Cooper Union in New York. So right there is a math connection to origami.
Here is some amazing origami art.

NERD ALERT— And my last nerding out on science, math and origami is about a club at MIT called OrigaMIT. My son was obsessed. The club had a project making a 3D Menger Sponge from business cards. The Menger sponge is a fractal curve. It is a three-dimensional generalization of the one-dimensional Cantor set and two-dimensional sierpinski carpet.

For those in UK, the MegaMenger project to make 20 separate level 3 Menger sponges across the world from business cards and eventually connect them for a level 4 was started at Queen Mary University in London. OrigaMIT has one level 3 on display.
Call me crazy but wasn’t there a scarf with a menger sponge on it? Didn’t we talk about this on a sotd thread?? I’ll have to do a search.
Soooo long story short..origami’s connection to math and science on my Gav, and cocotttes de soie, and I am sure on many other designs I am not thinking of. But would love a list if anyone finds origami on their scarf
Cocottes de soie too

LEOPARD HEM?!!?! How did I never see this? First stripes, then rainbow stripes, now this. Mind seriously blown here - LOVE IT!!!!
Thank you, @HermesEchidna ! It's a fun scarf - I think @xincinsin has a blue one that I admire from afar.
Thank you!!! Yes it was one of the original few that you were so kind to discuss with me. I put it by the wayside for awhile but your lovely mod shot stuck in my mind!
So charming and cute! Looks great.
So elegant and serene. Looks perfect with that beige … sweater? I am fascinated with the furry cuffs.
I am excited to share a new scarf today for which I can blame/thank @Jereni. Ever since she modeled this Pantin City on the seasonal thread I was smitten but thought it might be too similar to others in my collex. Then I saw it in person and fell hard for the silvery lines and the general beauty of the colors. Still I resisted. That resistance crumbled to dust when I found it NWT for less than retail through the help of another enabling scarf friend. So with
to @Jereni for the inspiration and a
to @Snausages, here she is. On theme, because every single city on the planet is an ode to STEM!

Reading @HermesEchidna's wonderful post (especially taken with that leopard dreaming of far-off places), I searched out the story behind Pantin City and sure enough, it fits the theme of exploration, at least in the sense of an imagined future vision:
"In this design, Mamadou Cisse presents a vibrant, futuristic vision of Pantin. Seen from above, this utopian architectural landscape gives a sense of the town's creative effervescence. Its colorful geometric scene seems to come to life before your very eyes."
And this City is staring down some seriously cold weather but ready to celebrate no matter what!

Absolutely spectacular!!! Looks great in that knot, I will have to try it. So happy to twin with you on this!I love the greenish tone of that blue, and how cool it is that it was influenced by Escher?? Love that scarf where the birds are morphing into fish also.
This is my fav colorway of LdT I think. So stunning on you!
Beautiful FT!!! This design is so full of wonderful detail.
Haha, clever scarf for the theme!
