Well, I have staggered through the week with this horrible virus, but feel a bit stronger today, which is a good sign. So, today’s post is going to show you something lovely that floated my way last week!
Let’s have the reveal…
The scarf is a gorgeous 140cm mousseline, designed by Christiane Vauzelle for Hermès, called Roseraie. It was produced around about 1990 and this example is in terrific condition. The background colour is a lovely pale blue with a slight greyish tone. Against this is a lattice in a darker shade, close to British air force blue, with a bouquet of gorgeous roses in pink, red, and peach. The roses are both full blown and buds just about to open. Loose petals, green leaves and a plaque with the scarf’s title finish off the design.
It’s difficult to take photos of this scarf, so I have done my best. As the silk fabric is so fine, it’s impossible to take a photo of the whole piece. Well, probably an expert photographer could, but not me! Here are a couple more snaps so you get the idea…
This is the photo from the source site. You can see why I fell in love with this beauty!
Just to give you a better idea of the whole design, here are some examples of the 90cm silk twill scarves…
So, where did I find my first and, most probably, only H moussie? Well, on the Rennies Seaside Modern website. I have bought quite a few scarves from them over the years as they are based in Folkestone in the UK, and they are very responsive and helpful. This link takes you to the Hermès page of their site.
I don’t think that I will be able to write a Scarf of the Moment post about this design, as I can’t find enough information. Perhaps this post will have to do instead. I am trying to work out how to tie and wear the scarf and which colours in my wardrobe will work best with it, so I will write another post about this. As I am still very poorly, the modelling photos can wait until I am feeling stronger and don’t look so hideous!
Oh, I have just had an idea! If a second post as described above works, perhaps I could put the two together as a Scarf of the Moment? I will have to think on this. Also, if any of you have further information about this lovely design, please let me know.
Happy Weekend to you all!
Love and best wishes,
Anne

That is a gorgeous mousseline Anne! You have such a good eye when it comes to picking a foulard! And you inspired me to pull out and wear the only one I have in my collection. Thank you for that and for sharing all your fabulous treasures.
Sending you healing vibes and a wish for a quick healing process with your illness.

Dear Catherine, thank you so much for your kind and lovely comment. I am definitely going to try to go out soon. Elder Son will look after me and we will treat ourselves. Now, what should I wear? Such a lot of lovely things to choose from! Love and best wishes, Anne
