This scarf has a fabulous green contrast hem and the green just pops against the vivid violet!
It looks very striking worn with strong colours.
When I went to Paris, FSH was very low on stock and had nothing I wanted - the SA said they only had ONE plissé in stock when I asked OMG! Anyway I left FSH empty handed and went to Rue de Sevres.
RdS turned up trumps as it has done for me several times now!! Scarf number 2 on my list of 2 (!) was in stock - Pois de Soie in Rose Pale/Framboise/Rouge. I really like how each little "pois" circle has an exerpt of another scarf in it - the tiny "pois" have Bolduc in them the other bigger "pois" has the other scarves - I have been trying to identify then - Passage a Moscou, Neige D'Antan, Napoleon, Les Clefs, Farandoles are all there! I also like the red contrast hem.
The Rose Pale is such a lovely soft warm pink it is really summery! Here I tied a short Half Ascot Knot after wrapping the scarf around my neck once.
Then a normal Half Ascot Knot.
And the good old cowboy.
As the SA opened the drawer to look for a "fresh" pink Pois de Soie I saw an unfamiliar design and asked to see it - you may recall how RdS had run out of the special edition scarf celebrating the opening of the new boutique in January - well they had more in stock! I was lucky at RdS yet again! There were 2 cws a white one with blues/greens and this one that came home with me in Chocolat/Framboise/Rouge.
The scarf is called Rendez-Vous Rive Gauche.
It depicts typical Parisien scenes with the people wearing/carrying Hermès items - of course!
The designer is Cyrile Diatkine and has a lovely contrast hem. I believe it is a copy of the design on the hoardings that covered the building at Rue de Sevres while it was being renovated for Hermès.
And worn a la cowboy.
I was really pleased with my little haul of scarves and now I am looking forward to seeing what is on offer for AW11!!
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove this scarves, exspecially the first one! :)
Scarf Addict, thank you so much for sharing your new silks. I love the Pois de Soie, I hadn't seen it tied before and it's beautiful, man congrats for your finds!
ReplyDeleteThank you Princess glad you like! SA :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Birkinmary - I am very happy my new scarves - glad you like too! SA :-)
ReplyDeleteRendez-Vous Rive Gauche - what a dynamic scarf in this black CW - with so many details to discover!!! Is it a 70cm or a 90cm Carré?
ReplyDeleteI absolutely share your love for powerful colours. Your Fleurs d'Indiennes and the Pois de Soie are stunning! Edith
Edith, the Rendez-vous and Pois de Soie are both 70cms. The Rendez-vous is a very dark chocolate not black - though it looks black in the photos! Glad you like! SA :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scarves and one more question - you always have so beautiful cardigans, they seem to be nice cashmere or at least cashmere blend. Might you reveal us your source? I have not been lucky buying my cashmere stuff so far, regardless of pricing...Thanks in advance. Maria
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations on your fabulous haul! All three are so beautiful and gorgeous, wear them in health and happiness!
ReplyDeleteOh my SA... what lovely, lovely choices. Congrats! Thank you for sharing the details and modeling them.
ReplyDeleteRegarding plissés, I have heard similar stories about other H boutiques not having any in stock. My local H has not gotten a new plissé in many months.
Maria 0 I get my cashmeres from lots of places - the supermarket, M&S, TKMAxx and Edinburgh Woollen Mill - just depends who has the colour and the price I like:-)Glad you like! SAx
ReplyDeleteThank you MaiTai - I will try!! SA:-)
ReplyDeleteSMR - thank you! I was in Harrods yesterday and the SAs were quite shocked when I told them about plisses at FSH! HArrods had plenty LOL! I am just waiting for AW11 now - I want to know what 70cms there will be! SA:-)
ReplyDeleteNow we know where all the plisses are. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week.
You too SMR! Hope you find a plisse soon - the Fleurs D'Indiennes in cw03 looked good as a plisse! SA:-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on all of your new scarves, Scarf Addict! And also, thank you for showing the FdI with the bright pink sweater. It looks very striking. I have the FdI in colorway 03, like yours, but in the plisse. It also looks great with charcoal, blues, navy, white, and khaki - all of my neutrals. Try it with your light gray sweater sometime. I receive so many compliments on all of the beautiful colors in the scarf, as I am sure you will, too. Enjoy your treasures! And again, thanks for the bright pink/fuchsia pairing.

Thank you CS so glad to be your scarf twin! Yes I will try the scarf with my greys and see how it looks - thanks for the tip! I saw it as a plisse in Harrods when I bought the flat and I was torn between the 2 but I went for the flat thinking I could always have it pleated later! I think it is fab as a plisse - lucky you! SA :-)
ReplyDeleteLucky both of us, dear SA! We both have such a striking and beautiful scarf! I tried it with my bright fuchsia/pink sweater, and really like it! Thanks again for the tip. I would never have paired it until your inspiration. I, too, was torn between the flat and pleated, but the pleated was an easier transition for me to go into really bright colors! (I was in a bit of a neutrals rut!) LOL.
