Scarf of the day - which scarf are you wearing today?

[xincinsin]

Another of my art-in-a-box scarves: Reveries Japonaises. I love the design and the colours, but somehow never choose it when I reach for a scarf.

And specially for Bostonjetset: Japanese wave designs on two of my tomesode kimonos - comme Bateau Fleuri, oui?

 

[xincinsin]

Nod to Sparkley: you sent me off to Hermès.com; they only have two CWs on the site, so I guess I will have to call my SA and see if they have it (DC).

MBATR (meanwhile back at the ranch- I made that one up-drives the grandkids crazy!) here is Nikko, by Vladimir Rybltchenko, 1991:

Gorgeous Nikko, Jahna! This has been on my wishlist for ages. The central image reminds me of the Dunhuang cave paintings.

You must have read my mind; I looked at my pictures of "Reveries" and did not have one good enough to post. Yours is lovely!

More of your kimonos please! Years ago I worked for the Japan Society in NYC and used to love to see those Japanese garments; will have to google tomesode...

Have you been to Dunhuang? If so, I am very green with envy right now. Puzzle often about your name; when I studied Chinese it was with the Wade-Giles romanization; all the newer ones confuse me.

This has to fit the theme for the week: "Serenity" by Zoé Pauwels/Rosenblatt (she got married a couple of years ago).

 

[Pirula]

Very pretty and spring-like


Beautiful! I love all the Cws of jardin.

Very chic!

Thanks scarf1!

This is really nice! I love it! It looks fabulous on you!

Thank you very much H.C.LV; you're very kind!

...and here's one by the grandson? Dimitri R(ybaltchenko) "Prieres au Vent". No longer positive, but I know Dimitri is one of the figures...I think the one at the top facing us.

Both of these are stunning!

Sorry I've gotten so far behind
I had a lecture to give and I've been sunk in PowerPoint for a couple of weeks -- it feels good to be free!

You're right again, Jahna! I always think of Serenite in terms of "California Spa" rather than Japanese bamboo! I love your colorway -- mine is the one that's always turning up on the Bay, but I do like the green and white with the dainty lavender orchids.

I also have to include my new-to-me sepia ELenK -- twins with Maedi & frou frou -- and bright pink L'Art du Temari.

I like the border on this one, especially. Dimitri has a bald head so the one with the raised arm could be him. If it's not too much trouble, I'd love to see Prieres au Vent in action--I wonder if the figures or the mountains show in a standard tie.
BTW, Dimitri’s father, Vladimir Rybaltchenko [1939-2002], was a great-nephew of Philippe Ledoux – all have been Hermes designers. (The father signed his name Rybal, his son signs his name Dimitri R.)

Oh beautiful! Congrats on the new Ex-Lib Kimonos. Love this cw. [emoji7]

Oops, my bad, Canuck -- when I said EAST ASIA was "the first of the Geography Week themes" I didn't mean this was Geography Week. There are several World Areas this year -- sorry to cause confusion by saying Geography Weeks.
(Nice scarves, though -- I also like VdeP and Canada)

Here's the rundown for those who want to play the Theme Game:
(I'm not the Theme Police, so you can always show what you want, of course):

14 Feb 2016 CHINA, JAPAN, KOREA, MONGOLIA: scarves featuring EAST ASIA
24 Apr 2016 MAPS & EXPLORERS: scarves commemorating discovered or imaginary lands
1 May 2016 SOUTH AMERICA, BRAZIL, SPAIN: scarves with HISPANIC/LATINO influence
7 Aug 2016 AFRICA: places, animals, people, plants on the second-largest continent
9 Oct 2016 INDIA, NEPAL, TIBET, BURMA, THAILAND, INDONESIA and other places in SOUTH & SE ASIA

There is clearly some overlap and choices to be made -- I chose to put Tibet in with Nepal and India, for example, so if you've already posted a scarf from a South or SE Asia country, then you get to show it again in October!

My confusion! NO need to appologize!

OT wearing Cavalleria d'Etriers CSGM # 13, fuchsia/bleu/jaune, today

Lovely Spring colors on you croisette!

Off theme. Saw this knot on Pinterest (no doubt someone here) and gave it a try. I like it! It's done with a shawl ring.

Oh, I like this knot a lot pirula, and it shows off this gorgeous CW of Jardin!

New hippopolis scarf paired with my blue de galice skirt. Really love the accent of the turquoise border which makes this neutral scarf pop. Please excuse my poor mod shot taking technique.

Awesome look sparkley, this is such a special design and I love that contrast hem!!

You really have a wonderful collection of Asian-themed scarves Jahna, thank you for sharing these beauties!

So pretty xincinsin, you should definitely reach for this Reveries more often!

Wowza abq2atl, I totally need that L'Art du Temari!!! Gorgeous
