Ok, I have a pretty impatient nature and I have despaired of waiting to find a Rencontre Oceane carre (90cm silk twill). I am looking for it in one of the following cws: turquoise / apricot / orange / yellow.

I know there is a gorgeous black cw on *bay right now, but I don't want to buy a black cw: my DM has it and she has promised to give it to me in a not so near future...

Please help me. If you see any RO carre anywhere, PM me!!! Thanks so much!!!!

this puppy is soooo long gone from any boutiques. (It *may* be hiding in a back room in a tiny tropical H outpost, but I doubt even that.) There was a "run" on them by collectors on the secondary market several years ago, they became SO hot that the final price of the Rencontre Oceane c/ws got up to the thousands mark....no kidding! And if you are willing to pay an outrageous amount, even now they are available from collectors.

People dream of a reissue....I know it will happen one day. If you want one of the original c/ws, you have to be verrrry patient and be ready to pay. But it will come to you if you keep after it, that much I know! (Having been in your spot and done it myself...)


Here are the original elusive 12 colorways

1. red (dark vermillion orange-red)
2. fuchsia
3. lavender
4. green (bright vert anis)
5. black
There are 4 blues
6. sky blue (has a purple contrast hem, if I recall correctly)
7. turquoise
8. cobalt
9. aqua (very pale)
There are 3 similar "oranges"
10. peach (coral, salmon-y)
11. orange (yellow, gold-y)
12. apricot (also verrry pale)

Good luck LittleH! I will keep my eyes and ears open for you. :heart:

Thanks!!

Yellow... At a massive premium GULP... But a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do...

I still asked my SA to do a little search for other cws, I'd really like one of the blue ones!

Hi LittleH,

Did H indicate that they would be likely to find it in at least one CW for you? I really love an older scarf that was last reissued in the mid 90's. I'd hate to waste anyone's time if there was no chance of it being located.
