Thanks for your reply. That's it - if I knew the scarf would be sold out before the start of the sales, I would definitely keep it as I really like it. But you're right, if I saw it heavily reduced I would be gutted that I'd paid full price. I saw a lot of the leopard scarves in bright colours floating around in the sale at Christmas so I might just be lucky. When will the sales be - June?

Yes, you're right, the ones I saw in the sale did seem to be the silks, not pashminas. I do really like it but I'm just not sure it's worth the money and it kind of blends in with the greys and blacks I wear. I love the combo of skulls and leopard. Which colour did you get?
I got the original camel/black - I just looked for the invoice and it was £380 - that's a huge price increase, thought it was only Vuitton that upped the ante like that!! (I lvoe Vuitton by the way...)
Sorry, meant to add that yes, June for the Mcqueen sales in the UK (US are quite a few weeks before) - though it's usually very last days/very begining of July that they go from 40% to 60%. I always hate that wait, seeing how much I want something and if what I do want is still going to be there. You know, I missed that Sapphire leopard silk this year, as it didn't make it to 60% but I did managed to snag a purple God Save McQueen silk, so not too bad....
Yeah, it really has increased in price! 380 would be more acceptable for me but 425 is way overpriced for what it is and I never normally think that way about designer goods. On the other hand I do love it! Was that the bright blue leopard scarf you missed? At least you snagged another stunning scarf instead. It seems like the sand leopard scarf is sold out on the McQueen website last time I looked.
I had a hard time tracking down the leopard scarf in autumn/brown. I got the last one from Nordstrom. They shipped it out to me and it was perfect except the care tag wasn't attached (it was attached to the price tag) and the Alexander Mcqueen label was literally hanging by a thread. Brought it to Nordstrom and the alterations dept fixed it right away. We left the care tag off though. I love this color combo and could not wait to see if it went on sale etc and risk not getting it. I have the LV leopard stole as well and was initially thinking the AM scarf might be a little redundant but I love it. It is a different look and a bit longer, so I have more styling options which I love. It's also lighter. I will still be watching for sales though so I can scoop up another lol
Which one is the autumn/brown - is that the camel coloured one that's the same colours as the original LV stole?
^^I really like that colour, probably the best out of all the colours. However, I feel that colour is just too similar to my LV leopard stole. That's why I opted for the sand/black.
I love Alexander McQueen scarves although I have only managed to get 1 so far. I have the Black with white skulls, the SA at Neiman Marcus told me it was longer than the other colors. I am not sure what to get next but I wish they were on sale. I spent $295 on the one scarf!
I've decided to keep my leopard scarf because I really like it and I want to wear it now, not in June! It will also save me from having to fight through the sales for it!
Does anyone else find that the label causes a hole in the cashmere scarves? Mine is brand new and already there is a hole where the label is stitched on.
I took my label off, I just snipped the two stitches holding it on. I think the labels are quite sturdy and the edges a bit sharp so I was actually concerned about the edges/corners catching and making a hole in the pashmina - I didn't even think of the label pulling but now you've mentioned it, I can see that easily happening...
