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????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.
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!
I really enjoyed your commentary, not rambling, on this particular shawl. Interesting. Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you dear Sparkle, I did, and I am in love, and haven't stopped wearing/playing with her since the day I got her
I am pleasantly surprised at its lightness and versatility. Of course in the scorching sun it would be hot, but in air conditioned environment just perfect
Thank you! I hope I will
ps. are/were you waiting for delivery of an ExLenK shawl? Do tell
Beautiful! That is also one of the CWs I would consider buying
No more for me though! I really mean it this time
gee, where have i heard that before......Beautiful! That is also one of the CWs I would consider buying
it really is an amazing design....i already want another colorway....the one with the large blue electrique area on it....going to search this thread for the colorway now....since i am now the proud owner of a BE gator cdc....gee, where have i heard that before......
I know, it´s getting old!Do you mean cw.01? Or maybe 03? I think 01 would look great with your BE gator! I will wear my orange CDC with ghw with 01.
gee, where have i heard that before......
Trisha, do you mean colourway 3? I'm stalking that cw as well. Check out BBCs pics; very useful. BE is an amazing colour huh? Love it!
Do you mean cw.01? Or maybe 03? I think 01 would look great with your BE gator! I will wear my orange CDC with ghw with 01.
ok, kat, you are killing me here
....i think now i need 2 more....i LOVE both of these and recently got the same cdc, orange swift ghw....searching again ....
yummum, now definitely WANT IT, NEED IT #3!!! it would be lovely with my blue box ghw birken and and orarnge cdc ghw......or my new Bal Indigo Work rggh
i'm on a mission- AGAIN
I am in for #3. I asked my SA to search for silk ones for me, but I made a mistake by asking to try on the cashmere ones. Hooked right away, and brought this one home. I also tried #6 (purple/red) and #7 (green), they are all so gorgeous. After seeing all the nice pictures here, I am debating if I should get it exchanged or maybe get another one ...
Folding in different ways to show different color combo. Thanks for letting me share.
