Day 2 of our starry week. I hope you are all having a good Monday!
Hermès’ theme for the year 1999 was “Stars and Mythology”.
Stars have fascinated humanity for millennia and have shaped myths, beliefs, and traditions across cultures, themes that have been widely represented in Hermès scarves.
In Greek mythology, stars and constellations were linked to deities, heroes, and mythical figures. Some, including myself, have already shared the much loved Sous le charme d'Orphée and I hope to see other versions and cws of it this week.
According to the legends, Orpheus’s singing and playing the lyra given to him by Apollo were so beautiful that animals and even trees and rocks moved about him in dance. His music was said to charm even the stars and the heavens. After his death, (a spectacularly tragic death of course, this is Greek mythology), Orpheus’ dismembered limbs (told you!) were gathered up and buried by the Muses and his lyre placed in the heavens as the constellation Lyra.
On the other side of our planet, stars were central to Mayan and Aztec cosmology and daily life. They constructed their calendars and rituals around celestial movements. The Mayas were able to predict solar eclipses and cosmic cycles. For the Aztecs, the movement of the sun was tied to the myth of the Five Suns, where each era of the world ended in cataclysmic events dictated by celestial forces. I’ve always wondered about the plural in soleils in Astres et soleils
The Kuna people of Panama also weave stars and constellations into their spiritual and cultural narratives. Celestial motifs and representation often appear in their mola textile using the reverse applique technique, depicted by Zoe Pauwels in Légende Kuna peuple du Panama, telling the story of the sun's battle against the Fishtail Evil.
The only scarf I have that is actually from the year 1999 is Rêve d’Australie. Stars feature prominently in the Aboriginal Dreamtime, the concept that is at the foundation of the Aboriginal culture and beliefs. The stars are considered the homes of ancestors, animals, plants, and spirits.
Looking forward to seeing what you might have on stars and mythology, or other designs from that year 1999 (I believe there was even a special edition!).

We are having a very pleasant spate of 80 degree days and 70 degree evenings with a fine ocean breeze at night. My friend and I spent a delightful day at the beach and then at an Art, Craft & Jewelry Fair where we both found lovely things. My SOTE involved a whole lot of polka dots and some bright orange stars!

It is a beauty @lafab-- I have a "winter" one also but the blue is something special! And don't we always need another blue scarf?
Thank you @Lellabelle.
It is beautiful-- I fell very hard for this design in both formats. Happy to be twins @Orange_addict.
Beautiful! I have always loved the border on this design @Croisette7. It is perfect with your necklace.
Thank you @FA73-- I did save La Voie Lactee for this week, actually. The scarf is brand new and quite stiff (not unlike my twin Reve d'Australie when it first came actually) so I decided to just do a diagonal fold. I am a recent convert to magnets and now have a little box of neutral colored ones from Amazon that look like buttons (pic below in case it is useful).
As for your day 2 post-- I love your finesse Astres Soleil and the blues in your Legende Kuna are similar to two designs I have which just sparks my continuing curiosity about colorways... The pendant you paired with Australie could not be more perfect...off to check my personal "catalogue" to see if I have any 1999 scarves!
Thanks so much @FA73 for kicking off the week.
Love these scarf-and-scenery pairings! Both looks are beautiful - really like that knot on Mystère. And what an epic photo of a firework!
Amazing jewel tone contrast. That blue is simply heavenly! Congrats on the new in.
Congrats on finding this! Such a quintessential colorway for this design and looks great on you. Is that a scarf magnet at the bottom? It matches so perfectly.
Love the Orphee shawl! So striking.
Gorgeous, twin!
Such brilliant colors! And your necklace is amazing.
Wonderful post! Learning so much. I love the pattern mixing with your Astres, and twinning with you on the yellow d’Orphee.

Cheval Fusion today. Not particularly on theme I suppose, but the design reminds me a bit of constellations.
Hello twin
This looks amazing tied as a top! ♥️I can never get a scarf-halter to look so good. Do tell - HOW did you manage to get the neck secured so neatly?
I was going to go with chorus stellarum to be on theme but this pattern scale worked better with my dress.
I’ve always thought these were some of the twinkliest stars in scarflandia. Lovely choice, @Croisette7 !
Thank you. I do so love the design, too. It translates better on the CSGM, I think.
Your Astres finesse is gorgeous @FA73
Thank you! Loving your jewel green today too!
Tiger Royal Fleuri is my scarf of the day.
Too hot for scarves today so here's an archive shot of one more Orpheus, this one the double face. I do love the little stars in the corners and am reminded by @FA73 that Lyra is my favorite summertime constellation and a treasured nightly companion on childhood camping trips. Easy to recognize and led by a prominent bright star named Vega. I didn't realize until today that this constellation represents the lyra of Orpheus! I love this group of people who are so into scarves and also share such great knowledge

Such a charming design and perfect with polka dots!
Thanks for the magnet reference @LKBNOLA. Is one of your scarves with similar blues Les légendes de l'arbre? I've always marveled at that blue cw that I think you have.
Another star-lined scarf! This week's theme makes me realize how often Hermès does this! My favorite shade of red!
Another beautiful Orphée @EtsyBoss! I wish the cw I have had the same backside of this one instead of the yellow/blue.Too hot for scarves today so here's an archive shot of one more Orpheus, this one the double face.

Good morning!!
I had pulled out Astres et soleis also for this week @FA73 😊 and today I am chosing either that or the legende brodee - it has myths and flowers (?) which reminds me of tiny shooting stars
Wish you all a shining day!!
