Not quite true black, but definitely looks black most of the time unless compared closely with black. Haha I can understand your strike motives. I am too weak minded to fight against the amazing designs and colors this season
Indeed, it is VERY dark! H called the color "Bleu Noir" so basically the darkest shade of blue before it officially is black
Honestly, I didn't even ask...what a dope! I just wanted to be sure I could get my last scarf in before the price increase...
I'm trying to figure that out as well. I finally saw the Carré Wash scarves in person last week, but I'm going to have to order online since my SA is on vacation from now until the day of the increase. I'm trying to decide between Pierres et Cristaux in marine/rouge/grenat or Coupe de Gala in rose pâle/rouge/bordeaux (AW18). I bought L'art du Bojagi CSGM, but left Jungle Love Tattoo on the table. Now I'm seriously contemplating that, plus the Wash before the increase.
I love EVERYTHING about this, including the application to emceeing. Well done!I’m slaying monsters today and emceeing in front of a group of 200. Perfect silk to wear...love animapolis
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.

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!)
It looks lovely on you Calexandre.
Yes, $395. I did not see my typo in the beginning of my post. Thank you for catching that!
Wow! I so wanted to see more of this CW tied... Thank you! I love the bright color combo on this one
Gorgeous!
Thank you so much for sharing these... So helpful! The Equateur is stunning!Got to play around a bit at the store today. I’ll revel the ones I bought later this week but figured I’d share some for anyone looking.
Did you get all of these? OMG Gorgeous! Especially that layout of Equateurs!
It’s hard for me to leave work to get to H. Sat is my only day to get there :,(
Thanks dear @Langsam ! I’ve been doing this for 10 years and they are the best group of people in construction. I try to make it as fun and professional as possible. Lots of sweet men loved my “casual outfit” and the monsters. I got more compliments from men than women.
Soooo beautiful! Thank you for posting!
I adore Toile so this one really resonates with me... Gorgeous!
All amazing!
Oh my goodness! So many pretties!!
Fabulous! I just love the way the stripes look tied!
