Beautiful mustangs, John -- bring it out again for Dallet week next month (traded with C Latham!
I only have two AF scarves although after seeing all the beauties this week, I now have quite a few additions to the wish list. My first AF scarf was among the first 5 H scarves I bought: Les Rivieres de Babel, seen here with the toy monkeys and the home-made red lantern decorating my home this Chinese New Year. There are two sparkly monkeys hiding in the lantern
Happy new year, xincinsin! And thanks for the LRdB monkey for the quiz!
Thank you froufrou. This thread moves so quickly, I'm sure I missed a lot today,
For bostonjetset, I'm posting this bandana that I bought today to match my colvert bag, I also bought a millefleurs twilly. That's it. A 90 cm or two were interesting but the selection overall was poor. I want to see more before I decide. There were no 140 silks, hardly any 70s and two waves moussies but not my color. How did you do at your store?
This is perfect on you!!
I need a bandana in this color! I thought I was done with FW15 but I keep going back for more. HAHA
Love the Jardins d'Hiver in this cw. I was looking for it at my local H but didn't get to see it IRL. You've re-awakened my desire for this design
GREAT Bova knot!!!!!
Thank you, EL4B, scarf1, xincinsin, & BJS for all the compliments on my AF scarves! (and yes, that's Sur Une Tapis Volant in the Bova knot, scarf1)
These are just stunning, momasaurus! Very elegant indeed.
And yes, that's a great idea: a Mardi Gras/Carnival theme that could extend from Venice to New Orleans... party in our masks!
Happy New Year, ABQ! Let me know if you need a clearer shot of the Babel monkey.
I was on a roll this new year and made many lanterns for family and friends. Best wishes to everyone and here's hoping that I can contribute more to this forum (grow, money tree, grow!)
And to remain on-topic
, my SOTD today is MP. The SA assured me that this cw was very Chinese New Year red. She was preaching to the converted of course

Looks great on your Kelly!
Beautiful colors ABQ!
Gorgeous moma!
Stunning Amours!
Lovely Bova! And I love how your little monkey statue photo bombed in the back!
Gorgeous Croisette!
Bova, just dropped in and saw that you were considering a b/w scarf. If I may add my two cents (particularly since I love bw and have multiple scarves and shawls), between Tyger, Zenobie, and CI, I would pick Zenobie. It has a fun artsy vibe and is more consistent bw across the scarf. I think maybe chloesam posted pics?
I have Tyger in the csgm and am contemplating a matching 90. I don't love it more than some others on my wish list to pull the trigger yet.
I would not pick CI. It is heavily black w some white as opposed to primarily white w some black. This is a design I think better done in color to match the intent of the cloisonné look. Also my pink CI is very stiff and I suspect the bw one is even stiffer so tough to get a nice drape out of the box. I have not used mine enough for it to soften.
I noticed you mentioned that myh has a CSMC in bw. Me too! And I love it. I got mine I want to say in 2011 or 2012 from the philly store when they were celebrating an arts festival. If you really liked that specific design, you might try calling them to see if they still have old stock. With Hermes, you never know! Short of that I have seen the bw in the resale market recently but for very high prices. W the CSMC though, I have not worn it with anything but black, white/creams, dark dark blue, and brown as I don't think it looks that great with some colors IRL.
A few others that I have and can recommend include les courses, which tangotosca also has and is actually one of the scarves printed on CSMC; jardin Leila, which is still online but may be too floral if you are gunning for a CSMC look; chasse en indie which has some gray and pink; and Pegase D'hermes which is slightly brown/black and white. Sorry for being long winded but hth!
Croisette you pick the best cws. Reminds me that I do have a lone(ly) Annie faivre scarf in my collection - la promenade.
Hi Bova! Sorry or maybe not? To hear I enabled you to buy more scarves. I also heard from PbP in the past that I have also cost her a bundle. :lolots: ok, for a b&w scarf, I like collection imperiales from your two choices. I think Zenobie's border on the model looks a bit too dark and strong for my taste in comparison to the middle of the scarf.Ok my dear SOTD friends...since we are on AF week, I have a small dilemna for you to considerBased on some enabling by MYH, and her recent post about owning a black and white scarf, Momasaurus's recent enabling pictures on this thread, and my love for my new black and white Ombre des Boulevards CSGM, I would love any opinions on the two I am considering, one of which is a AF design. First is Zenobie Reine de Palmyre, and second is Collections Imperiales. I am also considering Tyger Tyger in the B and W, but I do already own that design in a different CW. Perhaps one of you lovely contributors owns one of the above mentioned scarves? I have included the links to the online site for viewing.
Thank you in advance for your advice!!

I tried to find photos of these CW's in the Spring 2016, but no luck
How terribly chic! I like this on you so much because it's young , fresh and uncomplicated , a look I pursue myself trying to put back the clock LOL
I met up with an H friend yesterday ,she has a great eye and encouraged me to take a shawl in a design I'd hitherto decided wasn't for me.I struggled to decide which colour way to opt for and I think you will approve of my choice…..
Lanithas a point when she said that some designs work better in 140 format !
I have to be out today but hope I'll be able to share on Thursday .
And it's a colour you haven't seen me wear much before , so exciting!!!
And to remain on-topic
Lovely reds and greens , what a fab design and it ties beautifully.
