Yes! LOL, my SA explained that when it´s hot the fibers will expand and let air pass more easily and the contrary when it´s cold. I mean to say the animals regulate their temperature by holding or releasing warmth.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
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.
You are very welcome.
if you like the pattern and/or colors, and they really will not compete with each other in your closet. I am all about not having scarves compete; I don't like owning multiple similar cws, and I dont like owning things that I dont use, over the years I have had MANY scarves and other H-items, and I just don't keep what I don't use. Not that I don't or have not had multiple cws of particular designs, particularly designs I like and/or work well on me, but I don't think there's anything wrong with having more than one of a design if you feel that you will use it, and you have nothing else like it.Yes!

Phew....it´s hard to explain using a foreign language
CP, gorgeous photos!!! I love this cw07 also and am trying desperately not to consider getting it!!!!
Lovely, I adore the Lalbhai....I regret that I only purchased one of these, in the pink/red. Wish I had gotten the brown and the indigo (the one you got). It's so gorgeous and so versatile! I'm holding out hope that the Kachinas and/or Coaching will work out just as well for me.
The cashmeres are definitely multi-seasonal, great for summer as well as winter. Ive said that I think cw08, much as I love it, is a warm-weather CW (yeah, let's see what I think when October rolls around....), because the colors lend themselves to those seasonal tones and dont play so well with black, while 03 is much more multiseasonal...
SO, you clearly CAN get more than one of these (two....or three....four????
I know I'm rambling a bit here, but I've just realized something - I've realized WHY I like ELenK so much: it's different. There really isn't any design like this (I know it's an Ex Libris variation, but it's done really distinctively here, with all of the crazy yet harmonious patterns), I truly have not seen it before. For example, Tendresse Feline looks like Guepards; Reves d'Escargots looks like Domes Celestes....AND, for another reason, the cws are both different - we haven't seen these coming and going before, have we? - AND they're nice and flattering, genuinely pretty, speaking to a general aesthetic sensibility as opposed to colors which suit whatever market H is going after at the time. I hope that makes sense!
