Nevertheless, based on its own merit, this scarf is quite dynamic thanks to the ponies in motion (and to the jockeys in various positions). More, the background lines, each of a different width and all horizontal as if parallel to the “ground”, further enhance the dynamism of the design. Finally, the patterns all along the scarf edges - reflective of the Argentinian belts (in recognition of the small, muscular, wiry and agile ponies, typically Argentinian) - add a certain playfulness that enhances the free spirit of the players.
The colour combinations are quite contrasting, more of an exception rather than the rule when it comes to Hermes designs. In this case, yellow, cream and dark brown, next to each other, bring forth a vibrant undertone (perhaps reflecting the palpable tension during the games).
Unlike many scarves, that are quite versatile in terms of being matched (or complimenting) diverse patterns, shines, colours and textures, I’d be inclined to pair this one with a monochromatic blouse, unless it’s worn as a more “discreet” accessory, such as in lieu of a belt, or as a bandana. Undoubtedly a statement scarf !
I like this scarf a lot, not only the horse theme but also how lively it is. The pattern along hte edges reminds me of a North American Native motif.
ReplyDeleteI love the horses and hence the horse-themed designs. There's so much energy in it, I like it. The pattern along the edges is indeed someone "folksy", I think it adds character to the scarf though. You should consider it, with the strong, contrasting colours and the energy from the noble animals, it makes for a very memorable buy.
