My bank account doesn't thank you but I do for this tip. Have been trying to abstain from CW01, but H.com just made it too easy. Also have learned that better to buy it now than hunt it down in a few months and pay more than retail!

I cannot believe how pretty the cw.08 is! I´m so happy my SA held it for me. I also tried on the 01 and it was equally pretty but I´m not sure if I should get two in the same design
Thank you all for your wonderful pictures! I would never have thought about getting it if it hadn´t been for you posting pictures of yours! I´m very grateful for your generousity.
lovely - get the 01 - I was thinking the same thing - not 2 in the same pattern but remember the tohu bohu!! This pattern is really amazing and I think will become a collector's item . . .
(I remember we share the same taste! :win kiss: )

You're too kind! I only brought 2 of the 4 to Sweden this week in anticipation of the cold(er) weather!
I will post action pics...
I managed to take some action shots of my ELenK GM cw 07. This design (in all cws) is so versatile as you can emphasize certain colors by the way you fold/tie the shawl.
I've tied cw 07 multiple ways so you can see the variety of colors. Thanks for indulging my many pics!

You are correct. Buy now, regret....never, lol!
I wish my retail was as low as yours though
Darn Scandinavia. I just bought a few bits and bobs from H yesterday, and with the same amount of money I could have bought a Birkin in Paris.Stunning! 07 looks so gorgeous on you, I think my SA had that too. Ugh
adding, I hope you are having a fantastic stay here in Sweden.
Glad you grabbed it. I noticed CW01 was gone this morning.
Never underestimate TPF enabling power.CP, Beautiful pictures. Thanks to your enabling. I bought home CW07 and loving it dearly.
Ugh CP, you look utterly stunning and you just don't know how useful these modelling pics are!! Thank you so much for posting, and for enabling
. My sa has this reserved for me and I am super excited at the thought of owning my very first GM shawl. I had always secretly wanted cw7, and when she texted me a photo of her holding it out I was overjoyed. This thread has been indispensible for me, thank you so much for everyone who posted modelling shots. :tpfrox:I cannot believe how pretty the cw.08 is! I´m so happy my SA held it for me.

This is a very lovely colourway Lovely64. Congratulations, you must be delighted with it! Thank you for sharing these pictures!
I´m very happy with it.Such a dangerous thread. I never considered this scarf but now I am hooked after seeing the modeling pics posted here. I am deciding between a silk twill or GM cashmere in this design, not sure which to get, except I need something ex libris en kimono in my collection. Any reasons why you prefer this scarf in GM cashmere over the 90 cm silk twill? Is it a general preference for scarves or specific because of the kimono design? Which is the more versatile scarf? Appreciate your advice.
Personally I don´t like the 90x90 silks since I find them too small and the silk twill too stiff. I have bought many but never worn them since they don´t work for me. I love the GMs, they are soft and big and gorgeous. I think a GM is more verstaile than a silk scarf. Hermès uses special cashmere that will adapt itself to the surrounding temperature. A bit like a termostat (if that is an English word). Good luck for your decision.
Welcome to the dangerous world of shawls/scarves
Adding that I bought a GM silk scarf a few days ago which is supposed to be much softer and its size will make it work for me. I´m posting a picture for you to see.

A bit like a thermostat? Really? This would be a huge plus since i live in a hot climate but justified buying one with all the airconditioning around
