Hi everyone! I need to choose a colorway for an ELeK 90 cm silk and am having the worst time deciding as they are all so gorgeous. My choices are cw 09, 10, or 11. Here is a link that I found to all of the cw's:
http://birkinwatcher.blogspot.ca/2011/04/carre-fall-winter-2011-2012_993.html
Although the cw's are not numbered the pictures are in numbered order, so it is the bottom three that I am choosing between.
Does anyone have any feedback or advice? Btw I have brown hair, hazel eyes, and a medium-fair complexion. I have looked for modeling shots of these specific colorways but haven't come across much - that said this is a long thread so perhaps I've missed some!
I am also following up on possibly getting the ELeK 140 cm shawl(s) in cw 01 and / or 05, but haven't confirmed that I can get either at this stage (global search in progress).
I wear lots of neutral colors and some pink, coral, white, blue. My two H bags are in Capucine ghw and Blue Jean phw.
Any feedback or advice would be much appreciated - thank you!

There are still shawls available on the Australian H website. I can't speak for the other 90cm CWs other than 4. CW4 goes with a lot and I love it and think that it would go great with your description. It is a more neutral tone. I have not seen CWs 1 and 5 IRL in the shawl. CW5 would have been my second choice and would likely look great with your blue jean and neutral colors. There are modeling photos in this thread but you have to scroll page by page. Good luck in your search!
just an fyi to anyone loving this pattern - that link doesn't include cw 07; the only reason I noticed is it's the only cw I own in this delectable pattern.
if you want to see it, ms piggy showcased 07 beautifully on pgs 3-4 of this thread

p.s. if you save the pic, it gives the ref and cw # as the saved file name.
edit: I just checked that link and it gives the wrong cw for 07 - so the ref numbers listed there are not to be trusted...fyi
I might be mistaken but the link posted by Bem3231 is for the 90cm silks not the 140cm c/s.
Hi there
I hope I'm not too late with reply. I have cws 10 ans 11 (along with many others
), and I LOVE them! Cw 09 was a no-go for me as the brown in corners (and there will be a lot of it when scarf tied!) is not a pretty shade of brown (IMHO!!!). So I skipped it without any hesitation, and believe me I "studied" this pattern very closely, initially wanting nearly all the cws, as it is my number 1 scarf of all times And to accentuate hazel eyes I'd go with something blue (cw 10!)
HTH!

Thanks Maedi! Hope spring has sprung for you too! Waiting to see your PF silk on SOTD!
Hello!!!
I own all the colourways in the 90 cm. I think if I were to choose just one I would agree with colourway 4 is year round. My next choice would be 8 and then so on. If the last three are your choices and from the bags you described I would choose 10 bleu/parme/rouge. As for the cashmeres, I am unable to help.IHTH!!!Attachments
Hello!!!
Thank you so much for the advice, Julide! I actually have to decide today which colorway(s) I would like. I did not realize that my SA had been holding multiples for me while waiting for another special order item to arrive.
The colorways that are currently available at my boutique are 02, 08, 09, and 11. I am thinking of getting two - ideally two that coordinate enough that I could wear them together if I wanted as a halter.
Originally I was leaning towards 09, but your comments here now have me leaning towards 08. I love 10, however I would have to source it from a reseller. I do have a silk / cashmere shawl in the 05 colorway coming to me, which is the blue / camel one.
I am wondering what you think of the 90 cm silk in the 09 colorway? Are the colors in it wearable, and how well do you think it might coordinate with 08?
I am so envious that you own all colorways of this design - it is too lovely for words!
Thank you!
If I were you I'd take the 8 and 9 because the neutraility of brown/sepia and the similar capucine border of both.The colorways that are currently available at my boutique are 02, 08, 09, and 11. I am thinking of getting two - ideally two that coordinate enough that I could wear them together if I wanted as a halter.
Thank you!
If you really really want two similar one for a halter, I'd say 1 and 10. See below for a picture that I used 1 and 10 together, they blend quite well.
