Amazing

Thank you! I'm beginning to realize that it IS pretty amazing... I had been taking it for granted, LOL! I just figured that was how alo CSGMs behaved!

 

[Hermes Nuttynut]

Here are a couple of closeup photos. I don't know if it's obvious on the computer screen, but the colors are still as bright as they were in 1987, and there's no pilling. Also, the fabric hasn't gotten thin in any places, and there isn't a single pull. As I said before, I have not babied it; it's just woven very tightly. But it has a lovely, soft, drape-y "hand." Very comforting on a chilly evening!

ElainePG - Your shawl is amazing. It also happens to be one of my all-time favorite designs. I hope my shawls hold up as beautifully as yours!!

Wow. That's really unacceptable. Well, that settles it... I'm not going to buy a new shawl, no matter how gorgeous it is!

Not to enable you, but I have to say, I have a few CSGMs from the last couple of seasons and haven't had any problems at all. Maybe I'm just lucky (or blind to the flaws!), but I don't baby them, just use them normally. Just wanted to offer another POV, because the stories of quality issues are quite shocking but not everyone has experienced them -- at least, I haven't.

I have to also say that, as a long time Loro Piana client, I have purchased several CSGM shawls from Hermès in the last few years and have noticed no unusual issues so far. Design wise, Hermès has no equal IMO, and I am quite satisfied!

It's not really that bad... but your scarf is in pristine condition, so it's hard to really compare anything to yours! I wear mine all the time, and some of them have become a tiny bit fuzzy (as they have softened alot), and I discovered my first pull on one the other day. I wouldn't say they're in bad condition at all (quite the opposite)... but certainly compared to yours which is decades old and near perfect, I can imagine mine will look much more worn than yours in 20+ years.

I adore all of my Hermes shawls and will continue buying them in the future. In my opinion the quality of the modern shawls is still great - but a decade or 2 ago the quality was exceptionally good

the new CSGM touch seems much more resistant to me than the old one.
I have a very good feeling with the new shawl.

WOW, sissy, this is absolutely STUNNING!
Thank you so much for posting!
No signs of the new season here...

The last three pages have mainly been a discussion of quality issues with the cashmere silk shawls ... while interesting, there are other threads devoted to this (some of which members referenced), and it's way off topic for this particular one. It would be appreciated if we could now get back to topic.


Thanks.

I've just begun to look at this thread after a hiatus, and I can see that I am in trouble!
This is gorgeous, Sissy! The intricacy of the design is really highlighted in this cw, and the orange border
adds definition, love it! Thank you for sharing.
