Anxiously awaiting mine, too.
With this purchase, I took a gigantic leap of faith.....fingers crossed, it all works out.
So did I. I had hoped that other colorways were offered. We'll see how it works out.
Really?
Have you received a confirmation email that it shipped? I received an email a few weeks ago saying my order was being made, but I haven't heard anything since then.
Yes, I received an email today (Thursday) that the shipping company, Daudin Services in France, has received the package, along with a tracking number.Really?
Oh YAY, I'm so excited for you! Mine is obviously still in the works. Make sure you post lots of pics when it arrives. I think it's going to be a gorgeous scarf
Wow, interesting! But it seem like only available in UK? Guess no chance for us who stay in Asia😯😕
Anyway, thanks for sharing it with us..always good to know H is working on charity
How absolutely clever of H! Interesting story for this scarf. On the H website, this scarf is available in other CWs. All look good.
DESIGN HISTORY
Dessine-moi un carré: a pretty title for a competition. In 2013, Hermès organized a workshop in association with ENSAD (Frances École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs) in Paris. Students were immersed in the life of the house of Hermès and introduced to this years theme: la flânerie, that deliciously French art of strolling, aimless yet eager and aware, open to whatever comes your way. A concept evoked to perfection in Jean-Jacques Rousseaus autobiographical Confessions: Jaime à moccuper de faire des riens I love to busy myself with nothing at all, to begin a hundred things at once and finish none, to come and go as the mood takes me, to change my plans at each and every moment, to track the haste and bustle of a passing fly, to heave a rock from the soil, merely to see what lies beneath Three winning designs were selected in January 2014, including this playful, spirited, highly original scarf by Flavia Zorilla Drago: a spiraling dance of words and imaginative figures.

A well-turned phrase, constructed with precisely chosen words, is like a scarf, made from finely woven cloth; both depend on craftsmanship,” mused Hermès Artistic Director Pierre-Alexis Dumas on Thursday night at the brand’s rue de Sèvres store on Paris’s Left Bank. The event was held in honor of the French philosopher Roland Barthes, who would have been 100 this year.

“A scarf is very intimate,” said Dumas, “it absorbs fragrance and your scent and expresses emotion and memory. ”
