Great thread and congrats on your fantastic poncho, IF - eveyone's looking super in all the various colors! :woohoo:

I had the Prussian Blue Rocabar briefly last winter. It's wonderfully soft, the tassels enchanting! But it's more boho than I am, not very practical climate-wise and sadly barenia and orange are not great on me at all. But I found two archive pics that might be useful to those trying to decide if the blue is worth waiting for.

(Bolide is Brighton Blue, Texas 90 silk from my mom)

Happy hunting to you all!
Beautiful!
Thank you! I just ordered cw01.
 
I honestly can't give enough praise for the Rocobar poncho. It's heavenly. Though 90% wool, it never makes my sensitive skin itch (not even 100% cashmere sweaters do that, much less H CSGMs). You can rock them with everything, from jeans to dresses. I got my first one after seeing a British woman wear the Rouge with a black dress and Kelly at a fancy outdoors event outside London.

I have only the paille (yellow) and rouge, but I want them all. Seriously.
Gorgeous! I just got the 01 but the RougeH is Amazing too! Do they come in other colours? I see Three on hermes.fr.
 
I think you will know if it's for you as soon as you try it on. I will try to take a modeling pic tomorrow for you but in the meantime here is my office blankie just hanging around :) The colors remind me of the beautiful fall foliage that I'm seeing lately in our neck of the woods. Even though it's 90% wool, it is surprisingly very soft and not itchy at all. And those tassels!! I love twirling them, petting them....the leather is just so lovely.

And calling Temps to this thread since she is the one who enabled me to purchase mine.

Woohoo! That price point is insanely good! I can't believe it actually. It is only a bit more than the CSGMs. Wow. I can't wait to see your pics Israeli_Flava cause I might have to grab the grey cw too. :graucho::cool:
It is actually a bit less than the GMs:0)

Sorry, I cannot edit my other post. I was going to say that your Picture is Beautiful!
 
Beautiful!

Thank you! I just ordered cw01.

I love cw 01, but I'm not sure it would suit me, as yellow really isn't my colour! I'm leaning towards cw 04, but I would like to try one on first...I hope my store has something, it doesn't matter what colour, just to see how it looks! I'm so lazy that I HATE having to ship things back:p
 
Exactly my justification. I feel like Hermes may, at any moment, figure out that this is a steal in Hermes-math terms, and adjust the price. So we must act quickly! :p
Yes yes yes!! We much hurry and get one of each colour, lol! I love all Three colours and I Think I will get them all but the RougeH will be my second buy......if I can wear the paille of course! It might look too big etc and I will have to hold my horses until I get it in a few Days.


I have worn ponchos for years and I love them. I have never been one to care what is in vouge or not. Ponchos are GREAT!!!
