The brown one is fabulous! Wow!:flowers:
Also the monotone jungle love sounds wonderful too. That may explain why I prefer jungle love in dip dye and the neutral JL rainbow. Beautiful scarves you have shown.:flowers:

Here is my bizarre explanation of why JL works in mono/dip dye / rainbow
in the olden days when dinosaurs walked the earth ... There were ladies that wore REAL leopard skin clothing, there is a famous old photo of Barbra Streisand decked out in a leopard suit at a Chanel show - she was considered tres gauche for doing so even though it was real skin , it was OK to wear real fur then but leopard was a special case, it was a brash bourgeois statement to wear such loud patterns, not subtle like mink. The Queen wore mink, not leopard
In those days, it was even more of a faux pas to wear printed/fake leopard prints, they were considered flat out ugly
Times have changed, no one wears the real thing and prints are just fine ... from a social point of view
BUT, it is hard to design a good looking leopard print, a lot of them look ugly, so, the new issue is finding a good faux
Dallet did pretty good spots though ... but the spots depend on the printing , ie the exact combo of exact of blacks, whites, beiges etc. He got credit for the spots on Monsieur et Madame II, they are large spots and rather prominent , not my thing, to me, that rendering did not work
Getting back to the point ... dip dye and mono tone down the leopard spots so, minimizing any old-style social disapproval of a fake print but also hiding any flaws in the rendering

illustrations - same issue of JL - cobalt mono with subtle spots and the yellow (OK, it is YELLOW, I know .. that is why I sold it.. lol ) with the realistic spots
I wish the photos showed more of the spotted scarf center
But the mono tones down the spots

Hi everyone,

I'm in search of a certain Hermes shawl (Hermes Chale 140 cm) in a silk/cashmere blend. Has anyone seen this lovely Concours D'Etriers pattern and colourway in a shawl size? I can only seem to find it in the Carre 90 cm. Many thanks in advance!
