Tapis Persans in cw 11 bronze/noir/kaki papf and Coup de Fouet in cw 11 rose indien/rouge H/rose. I really want Les Chemins Secrets in cw 02 petrol/beige/marine, but I'm staying true to the ban. I think I'll wear the TP tomorrow...
Omg! These are beautiful. It seems like everyone has a few 140cm giant silks in their collection! Will you take some pics for us and post tmrw?
 
Here is my Coup de Fouet (apologies for the multiple posts - I'm doing this from my phone and I'm not very technologically inclined lol).

I love everyone else's GM silks , as you say MYH we all feel things look better on others but on ourselves out comes a magnifying glass and a distorting lens …
Wow, that Cuirs de Desert is beautiful, I was driven to H website and there's even a c'way spot on for MYH's Cde F , but with Rouge H instead of orange , such an elegant one for Winter .And from what I saw on the site it's one that morphs into a swan when tied….

Here is a pic of my TP - I will take another pic tomorrow of my knot tying attempt. :)


Love all 3 klynneann [emoji173]️[emoji173]️ u know there r two designs that r making me want to jump on the silk bandwagon so badly - the Tapis and Chemins Secrets!!! Now if only H would make them as CSGMs :sigh:
 
One of the best rewards (there are so many) is seeing everyone else's scarves, particularly the 140 silks. Klynneann - love all of yours even the pink CdF. I'm not a pink gal but can see how yours would look great on you.

So I'm all excited and have whipped myself up in a frenzy about what SS2016 will bring in this format so decided to go and investigate the SS2016 scarf thread again with a fine tooth comb. Plus I have insomnia tonight so need something to do on my iPad quietly in bed.

Here are the pics that shows the larger formats.

I see fantasies indiennes, l'instruction du Roy, new circles design, new birds and plants design, balade en berline, ex libris with circles in 140cms. Problem is, I can't tell if they are giant silks or cashmere silks.

Then I saw a convo with MarieT and Seton. I agree with MarieT that the LdR is prolly not a CSGM since they just did this one recently. So she concluded it was a silk twill. But then Seton rightly pointed out the hem looks too wide and looks to be a silk jersey. So does that mean we are going to have a 140cm silk jersey for the first time ever? Oh my goodness! My brain is going to have to work overtime to figure out the best knots for this new scarf creature. Or is it the white hem on the blue LdR is just a white printed border and not a hem? Which brings us back to a giant silk. MT also thought the ex libris with circles could be a giant silk. Either way, I think I am getting both designs as long as they are done in cws I love. Crossing my fingers!
 
Don't we miss Uno?
The way we were drip fed info was just great .
The thread is now so off topic I've given up , and I feel a sense of anticlimax that the reissues are so samey year on year.
 
... and I feel a sense of anticlimax that the reissues are so samey year on year.

I do too, frou frou :sad:

At least some of the new designs each season have felt truly new, like De la Mer au Ciel and Sieste a Paradis.

I'm glad that H has enlisted fresh blood like Alice Shirley to create some new big cat designs. Jungle Love is pretty, but it's be reissued over and over and over.

Time for something new!
 
Ok, I'll start with my favorite. It was so hard to decide. I would say I have a top 5 that I cannot part with and I had to look at each one carefully just now. Funny enough, I did not have a "favorite" in my head until Mimi and Pocketbook Pup just asked me. So, here it is.

De La Mer Au Ciel

hi... i love the way you tie this scarf (pic 6), could you please advise the name of this knot or a video i could learn from?

thank you so much! :love: your beautiful collection!

* just went through all the pages, i hope it is called the necklace knot?

All three are beautiful. What is the colorway of the Tapis persans?

Thank you, Pocketbook Pup! This one is cw 11. I also love 13 - isn't that the one you just got in Paris? I wish I could get two but there are so many others on my list!
