Every fashion-minded woman knows that an Hermes silk scarf is the Big Kahuna of luxury fashion accessories.  Hermes touts a multitude of ways to wear their scarves, including the uniquely French method of tying it to your handbag.  Somehow, we never could bring ourselves to do that to this one.  The name of this scarf is 'Mare Aux Canards', designed by Daphné Duchesne, it boasts a vivid orange background with a subtle reed print with a flock of cloisonne ducks in varying shades of blue, with a bit of brown thrown in.  Stunning over the shoulders of our Anne Klein orange wool crepe suit, this silk twill scarf measures 35" square and is in excellent condition. sold
