They actually were kind enough to make a special delivery to me this afternoon! I am very happy to report it was in perfect condition and I just love it! I think it looks even better in real life than in the pix.

Still waiting ...
I know exactly how that feels!!!
Isn't it fun when your instincts prove to be right? I do admit, I did second guess myself a little. I was afraid that I might look like I was ready to join the circus
Nanobaobao, I can't understand how that got into the box like that? It may be a tough sell to get them to take it back, in which case the best you can do is have it professionally cleaned.
gracekelly, I　ｃｏｕlｄｎ't understand it either It could be a return from someone else's ...
The thing is its not only stained in several places, it also has some thread pulls which caused the pattern zig-zagged. A dry clean simply wont fix that I'm afraid.

Hello crispypritchon, may I ask how long it took them to request your passport copy after you had placed an order?
I ordered the new ltd edition Brides de Gala from Colette's The Away Project <http://www.colette.fr/eshop/article/30650794/hermes-scarf-brides-de-gala-the-away-project/> 5 days ago, but so far I've only received one email from colette confirming my order, which says "We'll contact you shortly with shipping details." Nothing came. I emailed them to ask about progress but no one answered.
Now I'm worried and would be grateful if any of you colette.fr customers could please share your experience. Is it a "norm" for them to just ship so slowly, or is it possible that they have screwed up again like what had happened to some TPFers before (order cancelled and refunded)...? Many thanks in advance!
Hktaitai, Thank you. I didn't know Hermes has made a new collector scarf for Colette... I' ve just bought it 
Wow, this sounds interesting! And I love the polka dots Brides de Gala

I have uploaded down here the two pictures and the text of the article so that we can keep it for future reference.
What do you think?
I like the brides de gala

Wow! Congrats FrenchSandra!
Did you buy it at the store? What else did you get? Do show
Fingers crossed my order ends up successful ... Any tips about ordering online at Colette.fr? I must have this scarf!!!!! Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have, Sandra
Hi Hktaitai, I bought it online because I'm not in Paris...
I will post pics as soon as my scarf is delivered
I know that some not French TPFERs bought the first limited scarves online, I think they can give you more infos than me ot the way to place your order.

Thanks FrenchSandra! As you are in France I'm sure your order'll reach you before mine (if mine ends up successful). Can't wait to see your pics
Yeah, I so look forward to experience sharing by TPFers who have done online orders with colette before... My bank confirms that colette.fr has charged my card, but as some other TPFers said earlier in this thread, it doesn't necessarily mean the order is successful because colette.fr could end up cancelling one's order and refund. Grrrrrrrr.
By the way, would you mind leaving a note here when you have heard from colette about shipment of your scarf? They say in the receipt-of-order email they'll email the customer about shipment details. Hope to get some idea if it is normal to have no news nearly one week after the order, or if my order is a screwup... Gosh, I'm so nervous...
Thanks again
