In The Mountains is a cute design with cabins and pine trees. I think there is part of it showing on one of the press day pics further back in the post. I also saw an Instagram photo of it in the icy blue from a guy in Milan [they must have been released there last month as it was 3 weeks ago]. If you search IG for #hermesbandana you will see it; it's one of the more recent posts and is shown partial view in the box.
Eperon would be terrific in basic black, especially if it has the metallic silver!! I just cannot do a mostly white scarf as I'm to scared but I'm sure you will rock it! This season just has so many patterns I love and it's hard to pick the 2-3 must haves. I really can't spend thousands on scarves or DH will have a fit. One 90 and a couple smaller formats has to be my limit

Thank god for the price decrease! It came just in time; spring didn't do much for me so I was safe for a while.
As far as the hat, I have used my bandana for the same purpose [you can see it on the men's thread from 2-3 weeks ago] and it worked well but a twilly would be even easier since there is less fabric to fold up. It would certainly work with the sailor hat as well and be very cute!
My SA told me it was due to the Euro being so low and the huge gap between prices in US and Europe. Of course there could be other reasons that are unknown to her or any others save for the few at the top. However, the Euro likely plays some part in it. Either way, it was a welcome gesture as the prices started getting ridiculous, esp. in the smaller formats [$195 for a gavroche?!?! please LOL]
