The one hannasophia commented 'looks like it wears well' is Fleur de Giverny, CW12. I have my eye on that one for the same reason. Not quite in scarf love... but it is very pretty & I know I could wear it any season with anything in my closet. I'm also hoping this one might look amazing IRL.

I love your idea of having a secret design hidden around the neck!
I will definitely not buy the 90 cm format but the gavroche might be interesting.
Actually, isn't that the Giverny scarf? I remember the Faivre one looked very similar to Maitre de Foret and the like.
Pegasus D'Hermes has always been a postmodern statement.
It is not a Classical typical depiction of Pegasus at all but infused with H-ironic wit and audacity. Renaissance Leonardo da Vinci type sketch that crosses his anatomical and mechanical sketches such like a kind of L'Uomo Vitruviano/Aerial Screw hybrid.We still have fragments of Renaissance wallpaper made with dipped woodcuts (hence bloc?). I find the design both historic and postmodern at once.
I loved the original Coup de Fouet but didn't fancy the en Bloc 140 version. Perhaps there would have been too much mono-colour for such a large scarf on both designs, and it is true wherever there's a large expanse of single-colour silk the creases always show more, annoyingly even during the same day. I'm certainly going to try it, for me more a Summer vibe with the flowers but lovely nevertheless.
On a personal note, my house (1700s) had the top floor sealed off, windows too, in the 1920s and when we first went back up to the first floor the original Victorian Arts and Craft (amazingly bright) wallpaper was intact and resplendent in the hallway. I was full of awe and demanded the example be preserved and put behind plexiglass forever. For me old wallpaper obviously doesn't have the same negative connotations as it may do for others.

Thankful for my wallet that the Fall 2017 is a bit of a disappointment. I will get the Canada 150 scarf of course (TOMORROW!) and probably a Flowers of Africa as a memento of my trip to Namibia.
I too am disappointed in Pegase. I do not have the 90 so I was so looking forward to the opportunity to own this wonderful design in 140 but the design with that "granny wallpaper" - oh dear . Maybe it will look better IRL. Space shopping is really cute - but is it CDN $500 cute? Not sure if it will break my heart if I don't own this one - in the 70 format it was fun - but doesn't have the same vibe in 90. I'm sure lots of tpfers will disagree, but IMHO the Annie Faivre is yet another re-tread of her past designs - beautiful if you don't already own one or are a collector of her work.
I am more intrigued with the new scarf rings - especially the gold variation on the onyx/malachite seal design from past season - but this one in gold will work better with my scarves..

Agree, cool scarf rings!
I really like this design, but do the cws give anyone else a headache?
They'll eventually show up on the website! How soon just depends on what country you're in. Or maybe you can call the closest H store and have them send you the one you're looking for? Of course, the problem with that is returning/exchanges, which are easier to do on the website. But if you're sure about what you want you could try it?
I really like cw01. I love blue so am thoroughly spoilt this season!I really like this design, but do the cws give anyone else a headache?
I live in the US. Do you know if they usually put all of the new styles on their site when it comes to Scarves/Twilly's? Or is it a random lot?
No, it's random. I don't think I've ever seen all of the available scarves on the website. There always seems to be at least one colorway that never makes it.
