Great to see you have checked this one IRL along with your beautiful Cosmographia in the same colour group. I tried this MZ at the boutique the other day, (I haven’t seen Cosmographia in your cw yet unfortunately), it’s denser and more saturated and I feel it’s darker than any other Cosmographia group. Now I’m convinced that you’ve got the right one for you!! Thank you for sharing this post!!
Guess what I found? ...La Cite Cavaliere (LCC) in CW 13 (tag below). This is gorgeous IRL but the background is not ivory. Rather is is a warm ivory. Quite warm. It was surprising to me but a pleasant surprise as it works with my wardrobe. Warning is that, when tied, the design is rather subtle. It is very classical and airy. Similar to Cabanes or Jardin de Leila, this "etching" type of scarf works but doesn't pack a punch when tied. If you want subtle, this is for you. I was hemming and hawing because I adore the design, it is beautiful, but for the reason above, I had doubts. Still, I love it so much, it came home with me along with Boucles et Galons du Tsar.
No modelling pics. It's 40C here and I just can't, not even indoors with airco. It was rough in the store, trying them on. But I did include a (bad) pic made in store, which I had sent off to a friend to see if I should take both. I'm wearing an ivory blouse/white jeans but lighting at H is a bit yellow. This gives an indication of how delicate the design is once on.
I think I've just about checked off everything on my wish list for the season. It never happens this quickly/early in the season...YAY!!! Now I can sit back and enjoy finding new designs without needing to be laser focussed on getting "the one".
In artificial/indoor light:
Against an ivory background to show the warmth of the "creme" background of scarf:
In daylight:
Two primary browns (the Pegase in the middle is a dark brown/sepia) and the contrast hem is nearly identical in colour to my oak floor:

Thank you for posting this. Great shots to show actual cw. It is more warm ivory - creme- than white. I have this on order but I was concerned that it would "read" too much like my b&w Hippopolis when worn (although both designs make a subtle statement rather than "wow, that's a wonderful scarf".
Aww, thanks cookiefiend!
Thank you so much luvbolide...I am a sucker for the lift pendants!!
Wow, such an elegant CW of this design julian.f, congrats!
Looks like colorways 4 and 14, respectively, are on several of the Europe Hermes sites, at least France, UK, Belgium, Luxembourg...I know someone here was looking for the cw14.
Awww @Jbizzybeetle ...it really is that beautiful but is so, so subtle. I wish it was punchier on but couldn't pass it up because of the design, which pulls at my heart strings for several reasons.
heart loves these! Thank you for sharing!!
I am waiting for cw 14 - can't wait to see it IRL. I cannot wear cream color, so need this background to be as close to white as possible - we shall see! I tried on cw 4 a couple of weeks ago - completely unexpected cw for me as I don't wear blue. IRL it is darker than shown here, but I really liked the cw and liked that for me it is unusual. Plus, with the yellow contrasting hem, I could come pretty close to blue and gold, the colors of my alma mater - LOL!!
I CAN'T WAIT for these darned scarves to show up in the boutiques in force!! Though that then means I will likely end up with 3 or 4 in addition to the yellow/pink that I already got.
Le sigh...
