Being a scarf girl, I am addicted to the beautiful scarves from Hermès. Although there are always gorgeous designs every season, I try to stick to my resolution of buying just one scarf per season. It works pretty well because I am a strong willed person. hehe…
Since this year’s fall/winter collection already hit the stores, it’s time to make the decision. Well, I have to admit it is really hard this time. There are too many stunning designs and colors to die 4. I was eying
- Ballade de Heian
- Christopher Colombus
- Jardins de la Nouvelle Angleterre
- La Femme aux Semelles de Vent
- Puzzle
- Le Monde est Vast
and end up bringing home the “La Femme aux Semelles de Vent” in CW01. I am fascinated by the Potala Palace like temple, it reminds me of Tibet, which is a place I’d love to visit someday. Besides, the border of the carre simply made my heart sing. These animal prints, the embroidered braids, the geometric and floral patterns are too precious to part.
The first two pictures are credited to hermes.com. The carre has actually a bright fuchsia border in real life. Just as showed in the third picture. A real stunner! :-)

Welcome to my new “home”, dear loll! As to the scarves, I am happy with what I already have. ;-)
The scarf is simply STUNNING!!! :)
You’ve got a huge collection already ^_^
Thank you dear shaonianxin! I was actually thinking of you as I saw the “Ballade de Heian” because of the story behind, guess it is something you might like, hehe…Pls take a look here if you are interested, the one with the black border is so beautiful. :-)
BTW, here is the story.
“The carre expresses the elegance of the Heian period (from the eighth to the twelfth century), a fruitful era for the arts in Japan. Bordered by a traditional geometric design, the central tableau and the accompanying scenes pick up themes recurrent in Japanese prints: Mount Fuji in its clouds, travelers on horseback, in palanquins or in boats, accompanied by porters… Four medallions link the stylized flowers, patterns and typical fans found on kimonos. The abundance of cherry-trees, weeping willows, peonies and peach blossom, recalls the refined settings of Japanese gardens.”
gorgeous fuschia shoes!
Thank you scaethoven, glad you like the shoes.
wow, thank you for the explanation. :) I didn’t realize it was about Japanese painting and art the first time I saw it. I’m not really familiar with Japanese traditional painting, but the side decoration does look like the patterns on the kimonos to me…well, now… ^_^ the colors, flowers…. and those geometric patterns… :) Thanks again for the “education” :P

shaonian, I think you misunderstood me. The explanation is not for this carre, but the one called “Ballade de Heian”. You can click the “here” link from comment 6 to have a look. Sorry that I didn’t make it clear. :(
oh, my bad… I didn’t realize you meant the other one…. I like the black version of “ballade de heian” , quite beeeeeautiful ^_^
