I thought that I would post a few Ledoux, the beige Napoleon is from 1963, the pink from 1985

Also Nefs d Or 1970s by Ledoux

The boats were made of gold or porcelain, there are some of the objets d art at the Getty museum in LA or the Frick in NY

TY to all for your kind words about my ancient Marine scarves.
I was able to pull one last theme look before wk's end: my much used GF CSGM paired with GF2 bracelets

seton, you have made me weep. This is just incredibly beautiful. Thud.

I think this is my only Ledoux, but it's a favorite in my drawer: a PM cashmere L'Hiver en Poste from back in the (IMO) good old days of the rolled hem. This one ties so beautifully. I think my favorite part is the tiny little white polka-dots of snow falling at the top border.

love that little 'snow' detail calexandre, beautiful PMCS!

Finally back home to play with my scarves.

I know I added a few ages by wearing a scarf this way, but gosh the scarf is too pretty to tie away in bias...


Isn't she so pretty?

I had to read this twice to catch your meaning Chestnutty, and I don't think this 'ages' you at all! As we're learning thanks to MYH's useful thread, it's all in how you carry it, not the particular knot/look. Just my two cents! Oh yeah, the scarf ain't bad either, LOL!

I'm of an age and have decided that it's all in the mind and attitude . You wear this beautiful scarf elegantly in a way that a very young woman couldn't do if she tried . I do sometimes feel that the silks need to be roughed up with something edgy ,so I stick on a pair of Converse or Palladium canvas shoes or a leather jacket.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner ladies and gentlemen! This. Sooooo well said frou frou! (I wish 'Gabrielle' looked as good on you as on me, LOL!)

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. Should go shopping!

I know this color combo is not in your traditional wheelhouse pierina, but you look gorgeous!

This is an old Proues for Ledoux week; the scarf is deliciously supple, and unlike a newer 90cm which can be really bulky, it ties up around the neck with minimal excess fabric. I suppose that's an argument for wearing the heck out of our scarves, then they will be drape-y and soft like butter! Kinda messy, but it was a dream around my neck....

Thanks sweet textilegirl.

I seem to remember that you have lips to rival those of lovely Lanit , so I think you will rock Gabrielle.
Anyway, I've never forgiven you for looking so fabulous in that much coveted H poncho which makes me look like I'm wearing a sack

About to send this but had to edit that I was about to post Proues too...AND I've just booked to go to the new William Morris exhibition .I think I might be tuned in to your channel LOL

Wait, what's that you say? New Morris exhibition?....and yes, it's 'sack' weather here But I digress, c'mon, let's see that Proues, an underrated design IMO.....

Beige Napoleon

This starts to feel like a Napoléon week (do you think we've seen all existing cw?), and I almost feel sorry to interrupt with a non-Napoléon scarf But it's my only Ledoux -and my most recent scarf. I have to thank Esmeralda for showing me the robee knot, a new favorite! It allows to show light blue and white on a scarf that's mostly dark blue.
Cosmos, Air France edition.
