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!;)
Congratulations on your treasure Elaine, you wear it so nice!
 
Scarf babes -

Last time we had this theme, I showed you my 7s. I didnt do this design since I thought I only had 6 but looks like I miscounted.
In roughly chronological order: top row are Carnevals, bottom row are Fetes.

Seton What is it about this collection that draws me in like no other ?
I find the design fascinating, beautiful and scary . I had to let mine go as the c'way didn't work and miss not being able to look at those mysterious masked figures .
The GM has that extraordinary border , love to see more of that sometime.....

Thanks so much for sharing these.
 
CROISETTE7- Where are you?? We are waiting for your multiple silks! Let us enjoy them..;)
Thank you my dear for missing me. I'm travelling a lot. Just returned last night and travel again in a few days. So it's a bit stressy for me to pull out my huge multiples. If I find time I will try to post only a few
of them. Hope for your understanding, spinkapallina.
 
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:

Calexandre Cor blimey to coin a Cockney phrase , you have a serious mousseline collection there and you picked gorgeous ones ...
I concede defeat on the mousseline front , can't wear them , maybe I don't have the lifestyle :thinkin:
That green one for example, hope it gets to go to some seriously swish places .
It looks TDF on you .

Croisette I can only imagine your multiples ....
On a serious note, love to know how you organise your collex ....as in if you want a certain piece how the heck do you find it?
My technique is to pull out all the boxes and start going through them until I find the right one at the bottom of the pile.

I think it would be fun to know which design you have the most multiples of, Croisette! And would that be your most favorite?
Froufrou, I put post-its, cut narrow, on the sides of my H boxes so I can pull the right one out of the stack..works well and doesn't hurt the box.
 
]Hi scarfies!
Home again, so posting a few multiples.

First, my favorite Au Coeur de la Vie. Bought the red one (2007 version) on ebay about a year ago. Fell in love with the design, and because of the red/green CW thought it was a scarf that could be worn in Xmas holidays as well as rest of the year. Then I found out it was to be re-released in SS2014. The black/green one was the first scarf I bought at H boutique. It is still DH's favorite. Later, I just had to get the 2 BLUE Cws! (elaine, this is how it happens!)
I truly love all the details in this design.

En Avant Toute! originally designed for launch of Queen Mary 2 in 2004. In 2009, re-released with no name on the ship as part of year of travel.
After taking Qm2 transatlantic voyage last year, started my search for this scarf and my H addiction. First I found a pristine 2009 version (red/white/blue) which is easy to wardrobe and such a nautical color scheme. (2nd pic). Miraculously, an original QM2 scarf popped on ebay a few months later in the blue color way. Because it has orange in it, I haven't worn it much. I may even decide to frame it rather than wear it.

And here are my 2 Mors et Gourmettes remix. Design looks very different in the 2 CWs. I must admit the pale blue CW is my favorite!
