2 Little Boxes from London

The first leg of my recent trip to Paris was in London.  I went to see the ballet at the Royal Opera House - Les Patineurs - a beatiful ballet based on ice skaters - and The Tales of Beatrix Potter - I am not familar with the tales themselves but I know of the characters etc... the costumes were so precise to the books they were amazing and it was a lovely evening at the ballet.

Earlier in the day I went to Harrods and at the
Hermès counter there I found exactly what I was looking for - may I introduce my 2 new gavroches:-
Monsieur Parfum













Mademoiselle Soie













I deliberately chose 2 contrasting colours so I can wear them together - here I have folded them into a basic fold then linked them with a small scarf ring at the back, and then tied in the Friendship Knot (instructions here ). 
With Hermès prices going ever skywards I am pleased that this season has so many lovely designs in the gavroches!!

  8. Congrats on your new gavroches. Such a lovely pairing and beautiful way to show off the friendship knot. Your ballet experience reminded me of the Beatrix Pottery movie Miss Potter... have you seen it? An interesting insight into her life.
