Beautiful, I love the cw. Of course it has disappeared from the website already.
Thanks my dear Croisette! How can one not have a wonderful time in Paris? I don't think it is possible haha.
Hello
Long time reader and silk lover here, but a first poster. On the EU site now some Demi Carre Vintage silk 70s have appeared- what is 'vintage silk' compared with twill please? A 70cm size in a plain design would fill a gap for me.
So happy I have found TPF - it is helping me extend my scarf collection in a more informed fashion. Thanks

Welcome! The "vintage silk" is a softer twill than the standard twill. It has the feeling of a well-worn scarf rather than the stiffness new scarves often have. Many scarfies love the way they drape right out of the store rather then waiting months or years for the 90cm scarves to acquire the same feeling. Hermes used to produce several patterns in the 70s [much in the same way as they do the 90s] each season but as of about a year or so ago they only produce the 70s in the plain, geometric designs [often in jacquard].
Thankyou @Bostonjetset, I kinda thought that it would be like a softer version of twill but wanted to know for sure. I love the feel after new silks are worn in a bit (or a lot!). The plains are nice, but on reflection I think the patterns just seem better 'value' if you know what I mean. 70cm is such a user friendly size though.
is this a new 70s design then for '18? Mega pois in marine bleu/ciel. I'm not one for obvious logos but folded differently I could be tempted, very chic

Yes Demi Carré and Mega Pois are new 70s for this season, as well as Petite Abeille (but have not seen this one available online yet). I’ve added a post by Yodaling (above) where you can see the CWs for the last one.
Welcome to the H scarf threads, DoraSilky! Hope you share with us when you've decided on a 70cm vintage silk or a 90cm silk twill.
My robe du soir pareo, and my first pareo! [emoji173]️
What a beautiful piece, it’s brilliant both as a Pareo and a scarf.
I played with it in H store when I was wearing my Bleu Nuit Pirouette au Galop shawl , and thought this seems like the Summery counterpart.[/QUOTE]
