Hello, Tubereuse - I foolishly never asked the SA the name of the scarf. I remember what a happy feeling it had.

Is this what you're looking for? It is such a cute, happy scarf. I see them frequently on eBay. Good luck in your search!

Les Folies du Ciel was designed by Loic Dubigeon in 1984 and reissued in 2009

In 2003 it was issued as a detail shot, Les Folies du Ciel II

Here's my grail scarf. Cheval Turc. Not sure if this is the original 1969 issue. I read somewhere that if there is a copyright sign under the Hermes-Paris on this design, then it is original issue. Mine does have that but most of the ones I saw on the internet when I was researching also have that.

I love this because the colors are incredibly beautiful and the vintage silk is incredibly soft. But also because I bought it secondhand for a song because it was covered stains. Which all washed out!!



I love the colors too!
 
We all have those H scarves in our mind that we consider to be THE ONE [or two or five] must have piece for our collection. I thought it would be fun to open up a thread for all the scarfies on here to discuss what scarves of yesteryear we are constantly on the hunt for or wishing & hoping H will re-issue. We all have different tastes in silks and it will be cool to see what makes others' go nuts in terms of patterns/colors/themes.

I have a few on my list but have yet to find the perfect combo of colorway/condition/price to scoop them up yet, especially when each new season brings more must-haves. I will list mine below. What are YOUR grails?

1. C'est la Fete
2. Siam
3. En Avant Toute [QM2 edition]
4. Daimyo
5. Turandot
 
Love this thread!

My all time favourite would be henri d'origny's work. Starting to collect them one by one.

My grail scarf of the moment would be the Mythiques Phoenix embroidered scarf. Simply divine and luxurious!
 
Turandot looks beautiful when laid flat, but seeing it modeled on TPFers has made me want one. Unfortunately, the resale prices are astronomical, so I hope H reissues this design one day.

I found a Prune Turandot in excellent condition at a reasonable price. I never wear it and it is my only Holy Grail 90 carre. I tend to like silks with Chinese or Japanese motifs.

Happy you revived this BJS! I have been very, very naughty and have acquired most of my "grails", which is why I'm on Ban Island indefinitely, so I don't have many left, really only one:

Coupons Indiens. 90 carre. In either cw 04, or 01.

I also love the C'est la Fete in the Nuit/Gris/Prune cw, but I don't think I will ever bring myself to paying the prices people are asking for it. But, you never know! :graucho:

But Coupons will be next. Whenever "next" is. :tender:
