les folies du ciel

When you are a scarf collector, one of the questions people ask are if you have a "grail scarf", a must have scarf. As far as I am concerned, I love so many designs. There are some though that are special to me. Sometimes unexpected, like the ducks - I am a bird lover. But there is one scarf I have been eyeing for a long time and makes my heart beat faster. It reminds me of the incredible Japanese Ghibli movies I saw, especially the one with the floating castle in the sky, Laputa. It is one of my favorite movies.

The scarf is called Les folies du ciel and it is designed by Loic Dubigeon. I must have this scarf. It is a only matter of time. I am not sure yet about the color, but I do know I want a scarf with as much color in the balloons as possible. It is such a happy scarf and for me it can only be full of color. I am scavenging Ebay and vintage shops for the scarf and just recently was overbid in an online auction. Pity but it will come to me anyway. And until then I am fully happy looking at pictures of the scarf and dreaming about the beautiful colored airships that one day will come my way...
