HERMES 90cm SILK SCARF and 140cm CASHMERE SHAWL - REVE D'AUSTRALIE by ZOE PAUWELS
I've been fortunate to visit Australia twice: once to Sydney, which is a fantastic city; once to Cairns to explore the rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, which is in my top 5 favorite travel adventures. So of course I had to get a scarf with an Australian theme. I had Le Geographe, a 1992 jacquard in the perfect baby blue, which celebrated a French maritime expedition to the land Down Under. Re-homed long ago (I regret this).
The one I cannot part with is 1999's Reve d'Australie. I love the dreamtime art style, even if the most adorable animal in the universe - the platypus - is missing from the assortment of native critters depicted here (fun fact: everything in Australia is out to kill you, including the platypus: the male has a talon full of poison on one of its rear flippers).
I think I've had just about every carre and GMCS pop into YOSD, as well as some moussies, but with limited scarf real estate I forced myself to re-home all but these. The shawl in particular is in the CDH category (can only be pried from my Cold Dead Hands): it was my second cashmere shawl (the first was La Vie Du Gran Nord), and my SA at the time knew I loved this trip and did a worldwide search and stumbled upon it. Not sure if SAs do WW searches anymore, but not only is the color amazing but I love that she went out of her way to do that for me.
