Laurence Thioune same as Laurence Bourthoumieux?

I just listed the stunning Giverny HERMES Scarf for sale in my store at www.carredeparis.com when I realized that perhaps not everyone knows that this scarf was created by Toutsy, AKA Laurence Bourthoumieux.  This gifted French artist is responsible for a number of scarves for Hermes.  She has signed her works as L.T. for Laurence Thioune, and as Toutsy after, I assume her marriage (?) when her name changed to Laurence Bourthoumieux.

Well, no matter what name or signature, her work is unique in style and definitely amazing.

Merci Madame Laurence
