A year ago I got a scarf, La Clé des Champs, in lovely pastel shades of damask silk. It is one of my favorite scarves, although it is well worn. I was tickled to find another with a gray border.
The scarf was designed in 1965. It was reissued in 1990 and 1995. Hermès stopped producing damask fabric in 2001/2002. This gray one is a more recent iteration, and it is not a damask fabric.
Some other differences are the location of the artist signature, Fr(ançoise) Faconnet.

And the Hermès Paris. The early one does not have a copyright mark.
{Update 11/17/22: After two years of searching, I found the copyright mark on the older scarf.

Like all Hermès scarves, this drapes well and is fascinating to study.
