How exciting! I am thrilled to be twins with you! Do we have it in the same CW?

Well, croisette, that certainly answers my question about which CW you have... I would say you own nearly all of them!
And yes, you and I have the same one, so we are identical twins!
I know that Hermes reissued this scarf in (I think) 1985 and 1990, and then again in perhaps 2002. At some point, I believe, they stopped issuing it in jacquard and began issuing it in plain silk twill. So if the scarf I just purchased is jacquard (which it is) I should be able to date it, just a bit. Yes? No?
Thank you, birdonce! I suspect that this scarf isn't that difficult to find. Happy hunting!LOVE it! Reminding me that this scarf is on my eventual wish list and gorgeous in that pale yellow. Flowers and stripes are my BFFs. Gorgeous pairing!
Thank you, scarf1! To me, blue & yellow always remind me of Monet's kitchen in Giverny.

What a beauty, ElainePG, and a bargain as well? You had to buy it! Maybe try it with the basic fold, wrap once around, knot and tuck in the ends, or twice around and knot.
Nice suggestion... thank you, pierina!
I did not realize that, marietouchet. In that case, I'm so pleased with my CW!
There is a great deal written about this scarf on the internet. I am learning a lot about the symbols. But I did not know that Napoléon wore a green uniform! Thank you!
Turquoise and brown are such a dramatic CW.Dmitri Rybaltchenko's version of Ledoux's Springs - New Springs. Archive pics of dubious quality, but it's the only vaguely Ledoux scarf at the moment.
And yes, of course you should go shopping, LOL!
Thank you, maedi! I used to wear this scarf so often with my navy business suits, I can practically knot it in my sleep!
Very pretty, Melora!
Hi frou frou!It's fantastic to see you in these classics, looking just as exciting as when they first came out.
Knockout colorway, Bova!

This is quite yummy, Maedi, it makes us feel warmer just looking at those glorious colors.
Okay, multi-quote is longer working here....
Chestnutty, your Au Coeur de la Vie is superb! And you look marvelous in it. Wearing it this way is such a pretty and feminine way to show off the intricate pattern. This colorway is almost completely opposite my tropical turquoise one., that's for sure!
cherryblossum - Another winner, love the blue border on your Promenade and it's perfect with the leather. Well done!
Given how nice the blue/green MetM looks with your avatar, I'd definitely vote for the acquistion of this colorway, Greengoddess.
momasaurus - Your Comedie Italienne is brilliant in both of these pictures, and I bet it could go casual too - the beauty of the classics.
Thank you so much for your input! I truly appreciate

It looks marvelous on you
Absolutely! been there!Thank you, scarf1! To me, blue & yellow always remind me of Monet's kitchen in Giverny.
Good luck in SF!Would love to see your bee & pearl necklace... AND your "new find"! Yes, I would say that evil bay has been seducing me lately. And in just 3 short weeks I will be in San Francisco, at the Hermes boutique! I told DH that I hadn't seen many scarves in the new collection that inspired me, so I might walk out empty-handed, and he said "I can't imagine that happening!" You know what? I think he's right!
My two temptations (but it tepends on what CWs they have) are Zebra Pegasus (in either the light pink or hot pink CW) and Le Voyage de Pytheas... but I'd like one with a less-muted border. Not necessarily very bright, but not completely muted, if that makes sense. I called the boutique this morning & spoke to a very nice SA, and she told me they have quite a few of Pytheas in stock, but no pink Zebra Pegasus. However, they are always getting shipments from Paris, so she said in 3 weeks that could changes. We shall see!
dont be afraid to try ZP in one of te other CWs. AS I was buying mine ( blue CW), saw someone trying on the green and fuschia one . it was gorgeous too!
i am sure you will find something, as the DH says.
Hot pink Zebra! Be my twin. It is a very striking and fun scarf.Would love to see your bee & pearl necklace... AND your "new find"! Yes, I would say that evil bay has been seducing me lately
