Lanit - this is perfect for you! First @Angelian bowled me over with her CW of this scarf that wasn't even on my radar, then I saw your pic on my way to the boutique, where the SA showed me yet another smashing CW - anthracite, gris, rose vif - which I *love*. BTW, the @Angelian CW is the one they have on display and it looks fabulous. I did not see your yellow one in person. They had lots of bobcats in various colors too. And the one with the game board.
I had been interested in the black/white Astrologie Nouvelle tattoo, and it looks striking on me, but the Summer's Day is actually more interesting, a bit less stark, and I am trying to cut back on 90s anyway. I am going to sleep on this....

I can see you rocking any of those, Moma, but would really love to see that Summers Day on you.

Went by Hermès today because my SA was holding for me a couple of special edition scarves from past collections that he thought I’d be interested in.

Whaaaa???? You’re just gonna leave that there without any details???? What were they? [emoji1374][emoji1374][emoji1374]

Last time I tried on the Astrologie Nouvelle in the black/white with the green hem. This is the navy/white with the orange hem. It is a stunning scarf. And that jacquard!! I see one definitely in my future. View attachment 4129307

This is just soooo elegant on you!!! Absolutely a winner!!!

Went by Hermès today because my SA was holding for me a couple of special edition scarves from past collections that he thought I’d be interested in. The display for the new season was finally up. I loved Le Tour de Monde and plan to get one but they only had scarves and not the dice and pouch because Paris had not sent them yet. So, if you purchased the scarf now, they would send you the dice later. I’ll wait to see more CWs. One of my wishlist choices that they had in was CW23, which is gorgeous, but I was very impressed by CW15. Actually, it’s a great design that works in all colorations, IMOView attachment 4129303 View attachment 4129302 View attachment 4129300 View attachment 4129299 View attachment 4129297 These are CWs 15 and 23 of Le Tour de Monde side by side. Love this design and am waiting to make a decision on which I will finally bring home with me. Ties beautifully. View attachment 4129294 I was blown away by this CW. Never expected I would like it so much. View attachment 4129293 View attachment 4129292 This was one of the CWs of this design that I’ve had on my wishlist so I was looking forward to seeing it IRL. I found the colors, especially the pink, to be much brighter than I expected. It is gorgeous, but I will wait a little longer to see more CWs. View attachment 4129289 View attachment 4129287

Wow! I want this in my living room!

I think either the tag is incorrect or the online description is wrong. That looks like 01 marine/saumon/multicolor according to the u.s. website vs. the 03 as pictured on the website. Gorgeous either way but another example of a mistake on the website! View attachment 4127665View attachment 4127666

I have mentioned in an earlier post here that the cw online is incorrect.

Here is the actual On a Summer's Day cw 01 Marine/Saumon/Multicolor


And here is the actual On a Summer's Day cw 03 Ebene/Bleu roi/Orange which @Angelian shared lots of beautiful pics paired with different colors.

Cw 01 is more muted in comparison to cw 03 that is more pop. I hope this helps anyone who is considering this silk or ordering it online.

@litchi Still no signs of the three designs in washable silks at my store. Sorry!

I was blown away by CW7 of Acte III. It is so subtle, elegant and sophisticated. The turquoise is quite vibrant and, at first, I wasn’t impressed with that patch lying flat, but it’s amazing when tied. Here it is as promised, @bunnycat. View attachment 4129314 View attachment 4129313 View attachment 4129312 View attachment 4129311 The Baobab Cats are trickling in. Here’s one more CW. This is such a gorgeous scarf that really must be appreciated IRL. Can’t wait to see more CWs. This one was amazing tooView attachment 4129310 View attachment 4129309 Last time I tried on the Astrologie Nouvelle in the black/white with the green hem. This is the navy/white with the orange hem.

Love these choices

Do you find a big difference in the silk weight in large formats? Do you tie the scarves differently, or use them differently? I am really curious about this. 140 silks are still pretty new to me.

moma, I find the Plume twill easier to throw on and go; it's somewhere between the ethereal weight of a mousseline and the more substantial weight of a 90 twill. Leaving aside the issue of how much sizing H uses on any particular run, I generally find that Plumes are really, really soft, like a well-loved older issue but without the sueded texture like the vintage 70s or a dip-dye, and there's more of that fabric to wrap around your neck so you get the luxurious feeling of a lot of silk without the thickness of a CSGM.
For me, the Twill 140's only work as a shawl ---- triangle fold, over a dress or shirt. When I try to tie them in some sort of knot or use a scarf ring, I can't seem to get them to scrunch up enough to not feel like a huge pile of heavy silk resting on places that don't need a huge additional pile, if you get my drift. When I've tried to wear them in the winter, where the weight of the silk is more similar to the weight of the rest of the winter wardrobe, I've found them not pliable enough like the cashmeres. I guess it's back to the scrunch factor.
Having said that, and despite having re-homed one I thought I couldn't live without but never wore, I found this Tete de Cheval Tattoo irresistible.

Sieste is coming in giant silk for SS 2019.

My wallet is toast if the cws suit.....

Oh thank goodness there is one CW that won't work for me. LOL.
Thanks, wen. These website mistakes are certainly annoying.

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this. Makes a lot of sense. Do you think you love the new tattoo because the jacquard softens the texture somewhat?

 

[orchard]

I got my first sight of the new collection today, Acte III transported me back to a magical and memorable performance of A Midsummer's Night Dream at Regent's Park London open air theatre. Cw 10 was on display but had sold out - this is the cw I'm most interested in thanks to the magnificent modelling pics posted on this thread. I tried cw 04 but held back until I'm able to compare both cws.

I'm glad to help! Re: the new tattoo, no, it's not really softer, it was just too fabulous to leave behind ; I get that way sometimes .

 

[misspink001]

Beautiful! Congrats on your double haul! The pink and plum one is really delicious!

Thank you so much!


Thank you so much!


Ooooh, thank you so much for sharing these pics! Magnificent CWs! This design has been so slow trickling into my local H store so these are very helpful




Wow! Lovely! Congrats! I’ve only seen 2 CWs IRL and also noticed how saturated the reverse side is

They look amazing on You misspink! Thank you for the mod shots.

Thanks everyone. I really like them both and am considering getting a third in the yellow, pink, blue CW and getting the 45cm in the pink and yellow for my DD so that we can match.

[Living.la.vida.fifi]

Thank you muchly for these pics Fifi! Particularly Acte CW 07! That turquoise sky slays me. May I ask, do you remember the color of the hem? It looks like a dark-ish yellow to me.

Yes, the hem is a darkish yellow and was one of my favorite features of this CW. It is a very elegant and sophisticated CW. And I loved the turquoise pop!

Wow, did You chose one of them?
Is CW 12 still Your favorite of the Acte III?

Didn’t choose any from the new collection because I want to see more. I would like to get at least another design before I double-up on the Acte III. I’m very happy with my Acte III. Love the purple clouds and I think it’s a great CW for me because I don’t have much of that in my collection.

I saw that blue and orange one yesterday also. It is gorgeous IRL. That was my SAs favorite CW. Her coloring is a lot like yours.

I was so surprised about the difference in shade and hue of all the CWs of this design from the online pics! I walked in with my heart set on CW23 and now, after seeing the amazing CW15, I’ve had to walk away to think about it. Plus, I want to see more CWs. My SA mentioned a couple that he thinks will be gorgeous and he promised to call the minute they come in

This CW also looks great on you, fifi. You should be modeling on the website instead of that cartoon girl. You make everything look amazing!

What a sweet thing to say! Well, if Hermès ever decides to do a geriatric page, I may apply for the job LOL

Whaaaa???? You’re just gonna leave that there without any details???? What were they? [emoji1374][emoji1374][emoji1374]

Haha! Well, the store found floating in never never land in their inventory ONE Flamingo Party special edition created for the Miami store opening. It is so special because in the banner it states “Hermès Miami” which is perfect because the design features Florida species. I own two Flamingo Party scarves and one was SO similar to this CW, but I couldn’t let that one go and I took it! The other was the Ugo Gattoni made for the Battery Park Conservancy which I never got when it came out. So, I got it as well. I feel slightly guilty for deviating from my programmed course of new season purchases, but as @momasaurus told me, these are special and I know I would regret it later.
