REVES D'ESPACE by MICHEL DUCHENE

The sole Duchene scarf appearing in YOSD is Reves d'espace, a 1993 creation issued in 90cm silk as well as 70cm cotton. So what compelled me? Two things: it's cotton, and it's got a space shuttle! My late father was an aeronautical engineer for Boeing and worked on the design of the Space Shuttle; any time I see a space shuttle I think of him. This, and Galaxy, are two scarves that drew me in because of the associations I see in the design and my dad. (And the blue colorway is incredibly versatile which also helps!)

I don't have the Story Behind, but there's a lovely post about its symbols on The Purse Forum. 

Reves d'espace was designed by Michel Duchene for Hermes, issued in 1993 as a 90cm silk and a 70cm cotton. Blue design featuring illustrations of key moments in flight and space exploration
