You look lovely bunnycat. A Tango party! How cool is that!

A scoubidou of cotton 70 "Chasse en Inde" in pink and yellow (this one was purchased in 2008 and still labeled as "Chasse en Inde").

So pretty both! :upsidedown::laugh:

So why did I choose these two designers? It was actually three scarves that looked very similar that made me start looking more closely and learning to recognize an Hermes artist’s work. Christiane Vauzelles designed from the 1950s through 1990 and Leigh P. Cooke is a contemporary designer (2004-present). The first picture shows (left to right) A Walk in the Park by Leigh P. Cooke who is also in the center with his Winter Walk; on the right is Tourbillon by Christiane Vauzelles. Leigh Cooke is known for his minimalist designs – unfortunately, they are often faked for that very reason.

Mods: My own Attrape Tes Reves mousseline by Leigh P. Cooke
Christiane Vauzelles' Gastronomie and a triangular Tigre Royal (I don't own a Tourbillon, but am counting on Croisette)
Walk in the Park by Leigh P. Cooke

If you don't have any scarves by our Vauzelles or Cooke, see if you have a couple of scarves by different designers that resemble each other... Let's see if we can train our eyes to see what makes an artist see things in a special way!

Great intro as always!
FYI In the pocket was re-released as a 90 in 2015.
Initially I thought I did not have any, but
I just realized that I actually have a Leigh Cooke- Dragonflies (70cm) from SS2016

I'm getting in at the very end of Theme Week here with an unusual 70 cm cotton of my own -- I've never seen it on an H site, but there's an image of it on Dimitri Rybaltchenko's website. It looks like the dress pattern on Flamenca, but without the dancer and it's in the typical H heavy cotton. I call it "Hola" but there's no name on the scarf except Dimitri R and an Hermes copyright. (Oops, sorry for tying it with the tag showing)
Another picture of my three versions of Gardiens des Arbres, also 70cm cottons.
And my latest twilly: Au Pays des Oiseaux in that lovely yellow/turquoise/blue cw that seems to look great on everyone! (Thanks to Bunnycat for the idea of dressing up twillies with a scarf ring!)

My one and only H cotton, worn as a short dress. The back is cinched with rhinestone clips as there was just too much fabric to knot neatly. And there are pins hidden beneath the fold to anchor it and prevent a wardrobe malfunction :rolleyes:

Two twillies (printemps/ete and Sequence), scarf of the day (Les Leopards) and one of my garden roses. Have a nice weekend, everyone. :smile1:

Thanks for the quick response, scarf1 -- it made the 2-hour edit window on my original post so I was able to update the info! Pretty design on what may be the last of the 70 cm silks (at least for awhile)
