Hello all! I didnt want to crowd the SOTD thread with scarf purchase discussion so I thought I would re-leverage this thread. Throwing mentions out to all the following because you either have been kind enough to weigh in on various scarfdecisions before, or bc my feeling is we tend to like similar pieces and therefore you might have input. But - no obligation to respond if you’re busy.
Below are some past season / after-market scarves I’m debating and curious if anyone has them (in these colorways), would recommend them or not for various reasons, etc. Some of them I will share with the context of other scarves I have which are similar - in general I don’t mind duplicates but as Nomad wisely said yesterday, there’s a stopping point for everything.

First up is Colombe Ship. I searched the forum for this but did not find much so I’m struggling to understand what it would look like draped or in bias fold. The colors on this one are up my alley, and due to the red border and overall design, I don’t think I’d find it duplicative with anything I have.
Closest things would probably be Jardin des Peintres or Carnival des Animaux but the theme is so different here that it doesn’t seem the same at all.

Next is Peuple du Vent. Like many, I love this design, and it has come in many rich colorways, but weirdly enough none of them have quite spoken to me enough. This one could be spectacular but I am wondering about the color. If the tone leans pinky or coral, I am IN. If however it is a super loud straight orange, it wouldn’t work.
Does anyone have this or have seen it? Searching the forum for this design in this color would be pretty painful, there are so many variations of this design that I think I’d have to wade through dozens of pages on the off chance of finding this exact one.
In terms of orange/coral scarves, I do have Homage Gene Kelly and Jungle Love Stamped but those are both 70s and verrrry different designs than this.

Another is Ex Liberis en Kimonos… I don’t really see these on the after market for reasonable prices, and while I always admire them on you ladies, like with PdV, I hadn’t seen a colorway I like enough to truly tempt me for what the prices tend to be. But now, this. I find this very intriguing but would love to know more about how it looks tied before taking the plunge.
Does anyone have this one, or know who does? It’s another design that would be tough to search the forum for in the hopes of seeing mod shots in this particular colorway.

I have this one. I adore it. My first ELeK. I think you cannot go wrong with this Grail/Classic beauty. Here are three mod shots that perhaps will help. Mostly on fall colors...
I cannot help you here, I am afraid. Your best option may be to search by name -- thinking Croisette? She has so many multiples... I saw the orange CSGM at the sale and it was. Very. Very. Orange.
I have this one-- it is a beautiful jacquard with tons of surprising hues in the design. I can't seem to find a mod shot but I would jump on it. Especially if you do not have yet a jacquard. It is beautiful and I don't see it duplicating at all.
Omg jackpot!!!! I did not realize this was one of yours!!! It looks incredible, thank you so much!!! How would you describe the tone of the yellow?
It is really golden-- the overall cw is incredibly harmonious yet surprising-- like all the ELeKs! I have three 90s and two CSGM!!!! This would really be in your wheelhouse and it would be a jewel in your collection crown! This was/is a very coveted cw. It was a gift to me from an older aunt-by-marriage who was a scarf collector but not just H, also Gucci, Etro etc.
PS I do not filter my photos so WYSIWYG-- they are always taken in my Cape Cod living room in (usually) morning Northeastern light. There are nine windows, two skylights and a set of glass sliders in the room so you can't hide from the light!
I'm sorry I can't help here as I don't have any of those. I do love seeing what you select, you have great taste!
I wish I could contribute too, but I don’t have any of these designs to share mod shots of. They do seem to be within your colour wheelhouse so if they’re a reasonable price, I would go for it.
Here is the mod shot! Can't believe I found this so quickly! I still own this scarf but this is a pic from a million years ago.
Fun! @Jereni The ex libris kimonos is a star as ladybaga and lkb show. It would equally be amazing on you, I have no doubt. All one has to do w kimonos is make sure there isn’t a color that would really really bother you. I passed on a kimonos recently because it had a tone of orange and too much of it that I didn’t like on me and couldn’t be avoided.
Colombe again would be beautiful on you! I think this is a unique set of colors and will tie well. Totally different vibe from anything in your collection as it’s a more vintage type of design. I have thought of this one as well of all Colombe cw’s. It in no way compares to the other two in collection. Very different imo. You’ll find that to be true when looking at older designs.
And I love peuple as a design. Mine is a really bright one!! Watermelon amped and a bright purple. Not often worn but I have two tops I love it with. Like love! And also think this would be amazing on you. I think this is darker than the dance one. Maybe closer to that orange cuit of recent seasons? And the scrolling yellow/gold tree and other highlighted items will be SUCH a compliment with you. Similar in metallics feels to your Orphee that I will some day own too
.
But I am going to try to find a wrapped up pic of peuple. I need to know hehe
