Hello all! I'm nearing the end of my visit here in Rwanda and it has been absolutely amazing! Today a silverback gorilla stared straight into my soul. That feeling is unforgettable and indescribable. I've walked muddy trails at 10,000ft elevation, slipped and fell flat on my butt into a pile of stinging nettles, heard chimpanzees vocalizing all around me in the forest, shopped to support the local community, ate way too much because the food has been too good, taught two papermaking classes, and captured a few scarf wearings, including 2 newbies I picked up at the airport in Qatar.

Masks are to protect the gorillas from contracting diseases from humans. They are required! Here there is a youngster grooming one of the silverbacks. This completely made my day!

View attachment 6212106 Isn't he magnificent! He is staring directly into my soul. All of the gorillas in Rwanda are named, to signify their importance and their individuality. It also helps to keep track of them and aids in long term research. This beautiful male is Charles, one of the few with a non-Western name. The gorillas born in 2024 will be named next month in a huge celebration called Kwita Izina. It's really something!

I've missed you all and look forward to being back in the swing of things. One last hike here tomorrow - we are climbing to the top of a volcano - Mt Bisoke - for our 28th anniversary. 12,000-some feet!

Thank you for sharing these magnificent gorillas with us. What a spiritual experience to be so close and in their habitat. The carved gorilla bench is beautiful, too.

I didn’t even realize till now when I saw AnnaE’s very educational posts that I have scarves w Hugo G’s design.

This plisse is so easy to wear but the details on it are quite something.
Mont Sainct Michel and Quai aux Fleurs.
My pink Quai I gave to my sister but she doesn’t wear any of the scarves I gave her. She’s not into them, she says. I gave her a huge pile of H scarves. Maybe I should gently ‘investigate’ 😉and see if that pink one could come back to me. Or maybe, that’s not proper!! Hm hm

I also sold 2 cw’s of Cheval Fleuri which is also by Hugo G. I think, and now I’m sorry!

Hi, friends! Today, we are wrapping up the story. Hugo Grygkar published 6 designs in 1959 and 1 in 1960. As he sadly died in February 1959, I imagine most, if not all, of these were published posthumously (I am not sure how seasons worked back then)

1959:
À la gloire de la légion étrangère II
Floralies
Harnais de cérémonie
La volière des dames
Minéraux
Panache & Fantaisie

And in 1960, co-created with Colonel Margot of Cadre Noir in Saumur, Cadre Noir.

1959:

I actually have all of these but I have conveniently forgotten to take out both the À la gloire de la légion étrangère II and the Harnais de cérémonie. But I think all of you have seen enough Grygkar this week to last you for a while.

Floralies -- to compensate for forgetting the others, I managed to photograph two colorways of Floralies, one with the title and one without. Exciting stuff! Once again, I have no idea why there are two different versions. Did they want to A/B test things? Did they just want to confuse the collectors of the future?

View attachment 6212203View attachment 6212204

La volière des dames -- one more of the few Grygkar jacquards. Look at all these hummingbirds! Not sure why they are exclusively for the ladies, but I sure appreciate them. They must have gone through huge quantities of sugar water to keep those hummingbirds though.

Minéraux -- I love this scarf! Mine is a later reissue. It's really quite an amazing (and very contemporary) design. AND I have proof I do wear my scarves!!!

View attachment 6212199

Panache & Fantaisie -- it's quite lovely. Re-issued several times.

View attachment 6212202

1960:

Cadre Noir: As I mentioned during Equestrian Week, there are 4 'Big Four' riding schools in Europe, each with their own Hermes scarf:
  • Cadre Noir -- in Saumur, France -- 2 scarves: Saumur by Jacques Nam, 1938; Cadre Noir by Margot & Grygkar, 1960
  • Spanish Riding School -- in Vienna, Austria -- L'Ecole Espagnole de Vienne by Ledoux in 1967
  • Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art -- in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain -- Real Escuela Andaluza del Arte Ecuestre by Hubert de Watrigant, 1997.
  • Ecole Portugaise d'Arte Equestre -- an eponymous scarf by Philippe Dumas, 2006
As you can see, it took Hermès some time to complete the set, and Cadre Noir helped them get there. It wasn't strictly necessary since there was already Saumur, but that scarf is super rare (I would personally kill for one), so it was good they made this one.

As you can see, in this last year, Hugo Grygkar drew from his usual wide variety of inspiration: equestrian, ornithological, floral, and French history.

This completes our silky adventure in Grygkar-land. I started the week a bit early, so I am finishing a bit early as well. I will share some reflections tomorrow to wrap things up.

First off, Mineraux is gorgeous on you and I agree that it’s such a contemporary design. Floralies in Pointillisme is wonderful and I am swooning over the hummingbirds. Thank you again for hosting this week with your wealth of research.
