It is a stunning piece. Thank you for all your thoughts, and also for the photos.AnnaE, I don't think I'll find it tricky at all, although I'm waiting for slightly springier weather before I take it on its maiden voyage. I did think about that question when I tried it on as well, because it is such a seemingly delicate object. Here's my reasoning as to why I'll still feel carefree about wearing it:
1. I've often found with H that the more fine and delicate something looks, the harder it wears. Thinking about my scarf collection, some of my hardiest pieces are the thinnest: my mousselines are tough as nails (excepting the last couple of years which have been much more prone to snags in my experience), and the Altai "Plaid" blankets that I wear as wraps are still perfect in spite of a razor-thin, open weave. Here's a comparison between the Vibrato Plume and one of my Altais.
View attachment 4317020
The Altai is 100% cashmere and a slightly different weave, but it's the size of a full-size mattress yet made so that it can be pulled through a small wooden ring, so you can imagine how delicate it feels. I've worn it on planes, trains, subways, through careless crowds, sitting on a log at a campfire, recklessly stuffed it in bags with my keys-- you name the shawl crime and I've committed it-- and the threads haven't budged in years of wearing it hard. My CSGMs should take lessons from it!
2. Looking carefully at the Vibrato Plume, you can see its handmade nature: the fine threads aren't all pushed perfectly together, some of them have tiny little waves, etc. I really like this about it, that I can see the role of a human hand in working on the loom. Somehow it also makes me more comfortable with the idea that a thread or two might move a little during the natural course of events.
3. It's a busy pattern and I think its play of colors and shimmers will camouflage just about any flaws that crop up. As long as I'm comfortable potentially knowing one is there (and I am), I don't feel worried other people will see anything amiss.
4. My SA said worst-case scenario, it can be sent back to Nepal for repair. I doubt it'll come to that, but it's a nice thing to know!
5. The price-to-beauty ratio in this piece is (for me) favorable enough that I won't lambaste myself over the lost money if an accident befalls the shawl. If it were three times the price, that might be another story.
All that being said, it would certainly be possible to hook something through the weave, yank, and create a big gap of shifted threads at best or a hole at worst. I haven't encountered situations like that in my scarf-wearing, but if I knew that was my particular type of scarf-risk, I would perhaps think twice (@dharma mentioned doggie nails upthread, and that strikes me as a very valid concern).
So when the weather turns a little brighter, I'm planning on getting lots of use out of this piece. My thought is that it'll be especially handy for evenings that get cooler as the night goes on. On such occasions I might start out wearing the Vibrato as a stole:

...and then when the temperature drops, unwind it and spread it out as a wrap:

(Terrible drab lighting here today, but you get the idea, even if no justice is done to the luminous colors!)
A little try on with a purchase at Heathrow whilst waiting for my flight 
Here’s the one I actually bought of Le Reve de Gloria
It will suit my business neutral wardrobe nicely - I liked the pink but I have no pink Hermes scarves as I just feel even the bright pinks are too cool for me although if I was getting ANY pink it would be the H en Fil in petunia (she’s a bobby dazzler !!!) .....I shouldn’t really be looking as I am also due to pick up the Planisphere I have been searching for and the H en Fil in nuit/vanilla but I had time before my flight and as usual the orange H was flashing like a beacon [emoji521] [emoji23][emoji23]

This is so good on you !
It’s one I was lucky to try the other day and my feelings like your own; a modern classic , full of energy and great colours for wearing as a semi neutral .
I lost a couple scarves
during a hectic journey across France , one I’ve replaced already and I see this as a stand in for the other .Here’s the one I actually bought of Le Reve de Gloria

Great choice, the one I prefer.
I don’t feel drawn to pink scarves although the Reve de Gloria is beautiful and not too girly .
This more neutral version just looks super cool and as if it will elevate any outfit without any fuss.
We have scarily similar taste and we haunt the same stores... I see trouble ahead
Not bad @papertiger ....I buy a scarf in the same print less than two hours after seeing your photo .....trouble ahead indeed!

So sorry to hear that (one of my recurring nightmares). I'm so glad you've been able to replace one already, Gloria will make a great addition, not sure I have any excuse

This looks great on you, I think you made the right choice, very fitting
Was messing around with animapolis and thought I’d share, hope you all don’t mind [emoji51]
Looks terrific! i have the same CW and enjoy how it's possible to highlight so many fun "stories" within this design. Look great against your sweater, too.Was messing around with animapolis and thought I’d share, hope you all don’t mind [emoji51]
Exactly! You summed it up perfectly. Am I feeling like dinosaurs and penquins or like Godzilla today?? [emoji23]

You’ve tied this very nicely. It’s very pretty on you.
Someone posted the blue cw many pages back (I think 09?) but I forgot who.
