Your Amours is in such a peaceful colorway! It meets your outfit so well. I need to add this one in my wish list.
Another beautiful Amours! I have to hunt it down now.
I'm actually on topic today! Here's my yellow contribution!
Think this is the best CW of amours!! Beautiful!
I realize here that yellow suits also blonde women very well. Love it. Croisette, this gavroche is perfect on you.
I just realized I have another yellow scarf! Libres Comme L'Air.
This was gifted to me by my Mom's friend, who received it from her SIL as a birthday present but never wears it. I asked, "Are you SURE????" She said "You'd be doing me a favor!" Well, in THAT case...

is this the Sichuan with the stormy purple-grey border?
[ green with envy] if so, I nearly bought one myself recently.The colour combination is so beautiful and that lime green interior ...
Oh, Croisette -- I think we're Amours twins! Pale blue with lavender angels, brown bells, yellow corners.
I didn't like the yellow and bought another with a robin's egg blue border... silver bells, taupe angels, ivory corners and edge.
Now I like them both, but no golden angel booty for me (at least not yet)!

This has a black border but I know exactly what cw you are talking about as the dark purple bordered one was what I was initially searching for. But the inner colors between the two color ways are quite similar with the lime/chartreuse so, at the price it was offered, I could live with the black border.
OMG, Croisette! The soft green silkiness combined with the abeilles jacquard!!!! Love it![emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️
Wow, I totally forgot I have this exact scarf. Thanks for reminding me! Just confirms that I have waaaay too many scarves. [emoji3]
SOTD in red because I spent 15min last night examining Diane and was too lazy to find more yellow for today. If I were truly OCD about this, I'd be spending this weekend comparing its artistic elements against scarves by Linares, Vauzelles and Hallo since it is variously attributed to them singularly and in combination. Fortunately, I have prior commitments like beading (I bought a loom) and afternoon naps
and lunch with DS

Oh, xincinsin, I love that you also have all three designers -- Linares, Vauzelles and Hallo. (I can say that too, as my first Hallo arrived by Scarf Mail today!) Can you find a signature on Diane? Both Linares and Hallo signed their scarves, but the H Scarf Guide says Vauzelles rarely signed hers.
I see that Seton's Scarf Catalog has also put Diane and Debuche under Vauzelles as well as Hallo:

In this post I've quoted links to your Diane and Croisette's Les Fusils for comparisons. Notice that Linares just can't help tossing in a couple of "sleeping birds" with his long guns, whereas Hallo concentrates more on the guns -- not a feather to be seen on Diane. To my eye, the stylized border of Diane is more typical of Hallo as well. I think it's also significant that Hallo founded a Museum of Hunting, which makes me think he was interested in equipment like guns for big game (deer, boar), rather than the game being hunted, which was Linares' specialty (birds, foxes, rabbits):

And with that, I think I should probably move this discussion to the Reference Thread...
