I snapped a pic of the mousse duplicates because I had them out for refolding anyway. Shown here: Flots, Axis Mundi, and SdM; and an original issue Rencontre Oceane GM mousse with its silk 90cm partner (I never wear the latter, so I'm hoping for better luck with the former-- the pattern is just gorgeous).

And the Emeraude/Burgundy Flots worn in the *** knot-- when I saw Arabesques' photo last night I couldn't wait to try it out in the morning. This is by far my favorite trick I've learned for the GM mousses-- it really suits the nature of the fabric well! :smile1:

Wow, arabesques, this is the most amazingly dramatic knot I have ever seen! Your photo should be in an Hermès ad.

Thank you, katekluet, seton, HC, and Elaine. It's the first time I've mixed Pucci and Hermès, but it seems quite fine. Worth the dare! :p

I'm blaming Lanit on this scarf and intended to bill her for the damage, haha. Welcome to the blue slope, Lanit! Please do stay and keep me company!

The blue shade is so gorgeous, I have a hard time believing that it's a dip dye! A blue with a pearly lavender sheen on it. The color is so gorgy that I decided to bypass my "horse nostril phobia" that I usually have with this design, LOL! And, the velvety feel is so lovely! It's a dip dye with a coloration of a twill!
Copied this knot straight from a scarf friend. Hopefully she will be twins with me on this colorway soon ;).
Looking formal with a LBR.


or casual with an ecru waffle sweater


Enabled anyone yet? scarf1 - my fellow blue scarfie where art thou?

I'm very happy with this new addition. Oh wait, I'm a blue sucker so this scarf should not be a surprising choice, ha!

Lovely, Chestnutty!

Most of my scarves seem to fit into the Autumn spectrum.
Here's a very old design which came back from cleaning at H all spanking clean and new looking .I never wash an older scarf with reddish pigments cos they RUN
It came out of it's box for Ledoux week and I took a couple of pics , now it's gone back to 'rest'
Reprise by Ledoux

Wow, this is beautiful! Your mousse almost looks like a dip dye, and it's so shiny!

You know you need to make a howto?

Very cool! Beautiful mousseline! Can you show us how to do the knot? (Or have you already posted instructions and I just missed it?) love the shirt, too!

Great look, dear arabesques!! Of course your mousseline is beyond beauty... Could we share your new knotting again? Or are you already prepping the instructions for us.... Oh please, arabesques! And I am eager to know why this knotting is named Le Knot ***!
And thank you again, for your instruction of Chou-Chou knot! It works on any scarves I own, and works in any occasions. I can wear my scarves in both casual and gorgeous way with this!

Thank you, Melora, Florasun, birkinmary, and cherryblossum. Instructions! I have them—in two posts on the blog for right now. I will need some time before bringing them over to the relevant thread. Until, I encourage stopping by at my other home (see signature).

I continue to be surprised and delighted (and sometimes a little embarrassed) at the realizations I have about my scarf drawer thanks to this thread. To wit: had you asked me yesterday how many multiples I had, I'd have said I have a couple patterns in different formats. Well... peering through my scarf drawer it seems that in reality I have multiple Marwari, C'est la Fete, Rencontre Oceane, L'Instruction du Roy, Les Flots du Cheval, Splendeur des Maharajas, Axis Mundi, and Magic Kelly. :shame:

Now to page back through the zillion or so beautiful pages of this thread that I missed while traveling.... :sweatdrop:

I FAINT. You are a queen! (And are you wearing that emerald mousseline every day? Like you promised? If not, you know what happens...) :D

I'm way late to the party for last week's theme! I was prepping for a show and everything got away from me. Here's Phaeton for last week's blue theme. I feel a little like Phaethon when putting it on, like I could do anything!


Tomorrow I take a much needed day off, so hopefully I get to catch up again in here!

Thanks for letting me in the sandbox late! I'm off again for the last day of my bead show.

Bunnycat, your Phaeton looks nice on you!

Off-theme, but it is what I'm wearing tonight, as my DH and I take my mother out to dinner for her 90th birthday.

Inspired by our dear birkinmary's brilliant video tribute to Philippe Ledoux, my first Ledoux scarf: a new-to-me Napoléon, tied three ways, ending in MYH's brilliant cowl. A perfect way to wear a scarf to dinner (no ends to trail in the onion soup!;)

I love the way you've tied these, especially on the drape in the third pic!

ElainePG said:
Thank you, birkinmary... you were my inspiration for that Napoléon, you know! If it had not been for your stunning video, I probably would have gone quite some time without a Ledoux, and it would have been my sad loss. I have also read what you wrote about this scarf on your wonderful blog, 63 Gramos, and was fascinated to learn about the paintings that inspired the greyscale artwork in the corners. Until I read your blog, I did not realize that Ledoux based his drawings on actual paintings. Thank you so much for contributing to my education!:smile1:

Now... here is some "education" for you! The knot in the last picture is from our dear MYH, who demonstrated it on the SOTD thread here:

http://forum.purseblog.com/hermes/h...lk-twill-casually-883586-21.html#post27619761

She made it so easy to follow, step-by-step. You will see! And it is fascinating how it changes the entire character of the scarf. It has become my favorite knot, especially for dinners.:p The one thing I have noticed about the Ascot Cowl... it works best if the silk is soft. My Napoléon arrived with a great deal of sizing on it (at least, I am assuming it is sizing; perhaps starch?). I don't know if the seller did this, or if it had never been worn, and it came that way from Hermès, or if jacquards are by nature stiffer scarves. But when I tied it last night, I found that it did not drape quite as easily as, for example, my Circus scarf, which I have owned since 1990, and is very soft and supple. Now I am not sure whether to give my Napoléon a "bath," or just keep wearing it often until it softens up!

Hi Elaine, thank you so much for attaching the link to the step-by-step tutorial, I'll give a try once everybody is in bed! As for the starched Napoleon, mine are exactly the same, I rarely wear the white one but I did bath the ivory, just some lightly soapy warm water and a lot of rinsing will do the trick. I don't know why some scarves are so stiff, I usually bath them to rinse the starch.

Brilliant cowl instructions! I'm going to have to try it! Thank you for reposting MYH's instructions ElainePG!
