I know it's a pain, but her scarves are all good. She's moving out of the country.
Yay! Turandot arrived and in better condition than expected. Looks like it has been washed a few times too many as the border is quite faded and it has a much silkier, softer hand than a brand new twill. And since it is in less than pristine condition I won't feel guilty wearing it. Love love love. [emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

I don't think it's the frequency, or necessarily washing (dry cleaning incorrectly can also do that) but it looks like the detergent that's been used has been too harsh and/or water too hot.
Anyway congratulations, so pleased you rescued it

Thank you for all the likes and kind comments. I am already planning what to wear this week so I can maximize time with my new treasure.
sickgirl- congrats on your Turandot! A well loved silk is perfect for draping around your neck whatever the occasion, and this one is a marvelous all time classic.
My latest grail was such a surprise. I've always admired this design but did not want to invest in a high sum for it, knowing it is a bit unusual in subject matter and design. This scarf is so appropriate for ringing in the Year of the Rooster, and the challenging times ahead for us. This one came to me brand new, never worn, its is original Hermes sleeve and so crisp it still has that starchy silk feeling.
“Priéres au Vent” (Prayers in the Wind) is one of the earlier works of Dimitri Rybaltchenko designed for the Spring Summer Collection of 1996 and re-issued for the fall winter collection 1997. In fall 2001, it was issued as GM CS.
“Buddhist pilgrims who armed with prayer wheels (visible at the four corners of the scarf) walk in procession around a stupa, the sacred monument which houses holy relics and whose complex architecture, dominated by the hemisphere, symbolizes the Elements. Up there in the clouds eagles also circle, gliding above the peaks, which point like Truth towards Heaven, and above the monasteries, from which emanates the quiet murmuring of meditation and asceticism.” (from Hermès Scarf Booklet Spring 1996).

I love the balancing symbolism of this scarf, Lanit. You're quite right... it's the perfect scarf for our current times. I especially like the circling eagles and the mountain peaks, pointing like Truth...
