Hybrids! And very beautiful ones 🤩Perfectly on theme - and perfectly matched!! I Think the skill must be a part of you DNA!
Very smart scarf and smart Discovery of diciplines! This is one of the scarves that have so much in its design. I wonder why I do not have one. Looks wonderful on you - and with matching Sea background.
Great post @HermesEchidna with terrific examples! So happy you found your Pytheas, I hope to become your sister this year. 
I'm happy to be your Space Derby sister!
I loved this post - so informative. Now I need to go through my scarf drawer and see what primates I can find....
Great post @Snausages and perfect examples!
Good call @violetkool, baking is science! I love your adorable La Patisserie gav. Too cute!
Such a stunning neutral look @Croisette7. I hadn't really paid attention to Echec au Roi before so I headed off to Google it. It's a fantastic design and I found that there's a men's rectangle available on the US site that looks really fun.
Fabulous post @Nomad! Really, wow. I am a huge fan of the origami scarves and I love seeing your examples. The pride and obvious love you have for your son comes through and it warms my heart.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.
View attachment 5930240
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. I might have to do a separate thread asking for scarfies origami finds
Cocottes de soie too

Well hello again twin!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!
View attachment 5930041
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!

I'm with you @lanit - I'm going to really try and explore my collection this year and be very focused and deliberate with purchases. I thoroughly enjoyed your post, and then almost fainted dead away when I saw your Ecume. It's a scarf that has been on my grail list a while. Some day I'll find one that fits my budget, until then I'll admire yours.
I'm happy to be your Space Derby sister!You are on fire today @Pirula! Gorgeous scarves, gorgeous smile and pics - and love the Fifi bonus!
Oh wow, I've never seen or head of Catalogue d'Objets Introuvables before! It's so cool @xincinsin! Off to Google I go........I did an origami heart with my Metamophose - just for fun
Also, Cocottes in pink and red.

Plus a gav with really wild inventions: Catalogue d'Objets Introuvables.

Just gorgeous @Awillow, love the blue! Stay warm.
I absolutely love this design @ninakt. I saw it about a year ago on a reseller's site for a song, and have kicked myself repeatedly for not picking it up. I'll just have to drool over yours for now.
I love the way this looks tied @FizzyWater, it's really great. Such a versatile scarf! I read and enjoyed Tulipomania!
Great post @Redbirdhermes!!!Humans have been wanting to fly like the birds since before written history existed. During Sherlock Holmes week back in 2020, I did a four day examination of Reves d'Espace, beginning with this post on December 7, 2020.
Scarves - Scarf Of The Day 2020 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?
My very best wishes to everyone for the New Year to all SOTD regulars, occasional posters and newcomers alike :party: . The SOTD 2021 thread is now open and ready for business: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/scarf-of-the-day-2021-which-hermes-scarf-are-you-wearing-today.1038061/ The...forum.purseblog.com
Reves d'Espace shows some of our first attempts to fly, names many brave aviators, and ends with an array of modern aircraft, including the Space Shuttle. Many thanks to @Living.la.vida.fifi for pointing this scarf out to me over three years ago.

The four astrolabes in the corners of this scarf design were essential for navigation by the stars prior to the invention of accurate timepieces, and was carried by early explorers, as was pointed out today by @HermesEchidna. The astrolabe was so important that it, along with a sextant, is shown in this photo of the original Apollo 13 crew prior to their nearly disastrous flight.
View attachment 5930338
The scarf has the names of pioneering aviators, including Neil Armstrong, who was the first man to walk on the moon, and Chuck Yeager, who was the first to break the sound barrier while in level flight. Charles Lindbergh, who was the first man to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, is also shown in the picture below.

The orange Breitling limited edition of Reves d'Espace celebrates the maker of timepieces that are popular among pilots.

Reves d'Espace Breitling edition is my STEM scarf of the day. I'm also wearing my astrolabe pendant.

We are Le Jaguar et Le Colibri sisters @LeneCPH. Your colorway is DIVINE!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.

Well done @scarf1! I just adore this scarf, it looks lovely with your cardi!
Congratulations on the citation @EtsyBoss!
I loved this post - so informative. Now I need to go through my scarf drawer and see what primates I can find.... Great post @Snausages and perfect examples!Well done @SilkCouture! I'm so impressed!
Great choice for the theme @Jereni!
Thank you for these beautiful examples!! I never doubted that a collection impressive like yours also hold stem content
these are gorgeous and I am glad you put Bonnes Vibrations and its background on my radar!!! - I have tried that experiment in a Science museum once and it was rather mindblowing - though my patterns were not as intricate as the scarf’s…
It has been snowy, windy, icy here and lots of bundling up inside, especially when the power went out. Brr...
So archive pix for this week's theme, that I am stretching a bit:
Botanica and world traveling: explorers like Bougainville went out to discover new plants and Planifleurs captures the spirit of that era
Laboratoire du Temps... need I say more?
Continuing with explorers of the Pacific ocean and discovering islands and their peoples
More tomorrow!

Dallet always delivers!! Thank you Etsyboss for more primates! I have a Good primatologist friend and colleague and Tendresse Felines and Equateur are some of the few scarfs he notices when I wear
Let us blow some steam off and get moving! Today it is all about machines and transportation. And STEM is only an addition of Art away from being STEAM!
The use of steam as a source of power in the years around 1800 changed both production and tranportation. Steam engines powered large factories, and thus modern Industry, with all it’s flaws and benefits, was the foundation for fast and large scale transportation on land and sea. Trains and steam boats changed the communication and connections and Exchange of people and products all over the world.
This development is celebrated in Philippe Ledoux’ Le Merveilles de la Vapeur with an assortment of steam engines, locomotives etc. This is a special edition with the name of the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Assurance Company in the middle instead of the name of the design. There are two article on the Carre de Paris blog about the investors and machines mentioned on the scarf, which I recommend.
Philippe Ledoux: Les Merveilles de la Vapeur
But of course transport is so much more than steamers and train tracks. Several designs have wonderful nautic motives of other kinds of ships and boats - this one even claiming to have all the ships in the world (some of us probably looks more at the border wildlife, but well…)
Aline Honore: Tous le bateaux du monde.
But let us also see everything with cars, bikes, busses etc - and if we include coaches and carriages the examples are almost limitless!
And of course we also need to look up. Even though space travel has already been mentioned this week, we have the good Old airplanes, airships and balloons - @Jereni and others in here have already modelled great designs with airplanes etc, and here is my historic example ( I Think one of you might already also have postet it, but I forgot who - forgive me)
Loïc Dubigeon: Les Folies du Ciel
The Technology of transportation is everywhere in Our scarves, and I look so much forward to see all the great examples I know you have in ye olde scarf drawer!
Have a great day!

Just gorgeous each and every one of them!
And now I could not resist anymore. After yours and the other 4-5 exquisite Laboratoire du Temp we have seen this week I am now official on active Hunt for one!! No need to say more indeed
LOL An SA told me that a woman married to a foreign politician (not even a politician in my country!) once had her bodyguard block the boutique door and stop others from entering while she shopped. Such insensitive behaviour!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.
Hi, @poemehymn. Welcome to the H scarf world. We don't comment on authenticity in this thread. I will just say that I am
because those plastic tags are piercing the scarves.Oh yes, I had to get a glitch
- so representative of my world.
I love that word - enginerds! Time to bring back the "scarves for nerds" theme!
I don't like monkeys IRL because they can be pretty vicious, but yes, I was surprised by the sheer number of monkeys in On The Beach.
Definitely taking note of this suggestion!Yes! I would love to learn more. ‘Simian silks’ would be a wonderful theme and I second the nomination for @EtsyBoss’ to guest host it!
ETA: it also provides an extra excuse to go hunting for some Dallet in the interim
A meeting of art, scarf and tech: two H watches featuring scarf designs.
For @HermesEchidna, another steam-driven scarf Locomotives a Vapeur.
You really look freezing, girl! Great Cent Plis! bunny!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.
Preparing to go out in the cold....the Insta pic....

I agree, it is, thank youtextilegirl!
Thank you so much, Jereni!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 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!
You look beautiful and snuggly in both!!! Hope you were able to keep warm.
All,so fabulous, love that Singapore esp., Snausages!
So dreamy in blue, SilkCouture!
Thank you so much, fifi!
Thank you again, fifi!
Fabulous, all!
All so chic on you, Forever Orange!
Not sure I can claim a STEM link with Epaulettes de Gala twilly today. But it is snowing here in Manchester, so there's some weather news at least!
In the office building where I work, the upper floors house many specialist teams, including some who deal in forensics and assist our police in keeping Singapore safe. No, they don't dissect any bodies here 
, but this is their HQ.
Just an opener to say that skills such as inductive and deductive reasoning as well as extrapolation are important in STEM. So-called leaps of logic or Eureka! moments are the result of many connections and inferences percolating beneath the surface of our consciousness.
In Mystere au 24, we are invited to view the strange scene in the house with chaos everywhere, tame pets and wild beasts rampaging, a bewildered fox in the chimney, and Did The Kitty Do It?!!! Whodunit indeed (who done what?
), filmed in Hermescope! I say it was the guy on the horse outside the house who dunit to my wallet
