Thank you for letting me share! This is indeed a very special and beautiful design that's H to its best!
Beautiful combinations cavalla, at the moment I'm especially partial to the acid green coat ensemble but I'm easily persuaded otherwise!
My SA told me that at some point the entire production run of Samourais was halted because of the quality issues....
Thank you dear. I don't remember when I wore that coat last time, but with PdS and the soleil CW Robe du Soir, I reached for the coat a lot till it got way too warm to wear a coat and a shawl.
I'm not surprised to hear that. You can't imagine how many PdSs we had to go through to finally get them all without issues. I would not have had confidence to buy anymore had my SA not made it such a smooth process and dealt with the issue so promptly and professionally.
@cavalla, your collection is phenomenal and totally drool worthy! I only have four (03 05 06 07) but could see getting 10 and 12 (if I could ever find them). Horrors, I may let go of 06 because I bought the exact same cw of Robe du Soir. Love love LOVE your mod shots. [emoji7][emoji1360] Please feel free to post more!!!
@meowlett LOL so glad I could enable you!!!

I only asked my SA to reserve 05, 06, and 09 for me before they hit the store, but he was super nice to immediately put all CWs aside as soon as he received any because he knew I went gaga last year over the 90s (which I got all CWs as well) and thought even though I said I was going to avoid getting all of them, I would eventually wanted to get them all. He knows me well.Still now, if I get to choose again, I cannot think of anyone that I could skip. They're all very unique in their own way.
I did check out other stores back then in nearby cities while waiting for my replacements and I saw some crazy pulls as well on brand new ones in other stores. I did check all my scarves very thoroughly since some tPFers brought the issue to our attention earlier in the season. H probably rushed to released this highly anticipated design and produce more scarves than they used to so didn't do a great quality control. Other than the pulls and snugs, sometimes there are also quite a few leftover threads, which I learned that should be removed at the last step during the production. If you check your scarves carefully you might be able to see them. I happened to have 2 CW 10 to compare side by side so I knew some "dots" that were from the leftover threads were not intended to be there. In any case, I'm really happy to have them all. And I'm happy there's someone that understands and shares my joy!
First, brava for your exceptonally exquisite collection and ensembles dear, i had no idea there were production issues on PdS. My SA always reserved unopened ones for me so
I would be the first the unfold and try on. I have three and did not see any issues but then I was no5 looking for any sonce they were still in plastic sealed wrap. Thank you for this info and if any others do come in to my set I will be sure to check more carefully.
Thank you dear BBC. I can see why you want to let go 06. You wear the RdS so beautifully! You have some great choices for PdS. I actually always think of your mannequin shots whenever I see 03. 05 and 07 are basically we all should have to start PdS journey with.
I hope you find 10 and 12! They are truly the most unique and unconventional CWs in my opinion. Except for 06 and 09, all CWs allow us to play with colors, but 10 and 12 allow us to be mischievous and bold with colors but can also be toned down if wanted. Love them so much! Sending you lots of H fairy dust!First, brava for your exceptonally exquisite collection and ensembles dear, i had no idea there were production issues on PdS.

Dear lanit, thank you.
My SA does the same, and time never seems to be enough when I'm in store so I only checked after I got home. I really appreciate how he handled the situation and put my mind at ease.
Fabulous first pink shawl Serva1! You are so going to rock it! Excuse to get a H pink bag too....
Hi twinsie!! @meowlett
Here's my favorite part on the whole design. The depth and shades of the colors are amazing. I can literally stare at it all day.

My SA knew I'm a huge Samourais fan so he reserved all CWs for me as soon as they arrived. I was lucky to have owned them early April. But to my surprise, 6 out of 9 (I got an extra CW10 for a friend's coming birthday) I had to exchange. They all had some unneglectable issues, pulls, runs, snugs. My SA is the best SA that he told me to have no hesitation to bring them back even with the faintest flaws. While we were doing exchange, we inspected those in store and noticed that a lot of them had pulls and runs as well! So the store had to send all those back and requested for replacements and guess what, some replacements had to send back as well! What a headache! So a lot of waiting and I ended up getting my set without blemishes close to mid-May. I'm quite surprised with the quality control and I've since then been a bit more pulled back buying scarves for sure.
I know some of you knew I got the whole set and were waiting for me to share some photos. I've been traveling a lot since end of May, so so far I've only gotten to play with CW 10 and CW 12 and tried the CW 05 on my mannequin.
These photos are not the best, but I think they do show the power of how PdS pull a look together! They allow me to wear colors that you normally would not combine. I started with CW 10 and CW 12 particularly to get those forever sleeping in my closet items out! I don't think I've ever worn my acid green coat so often and paired it with a gray bag!
So here are some before (CW 05) / in (CW 12) / after (CW 10) action photos.

Amazing family photos meowlett and cavalla! SO GREAT to see the different cws side by side, you guys take photos that are better than H 100000X! Sorry to hear about your issues cavalle, so glad your lovely SA worked them out for you.
Thank you, dear GNIPPOHS.

Thanks sooo much, Cavalla!! Yes, those cws are truly unique, and your photos totally inspire me. I’m sure I will find them eventually.
I’m glad you like my mannequin shots!!! Hahaha can’t wait to repaint my bedroom gray! Cw03 is actually my favorite of the PDS but surprisingly all three (including 07) go well with my wardrobe....can’t get enough of this design!

Thank you Gnippohs, the pink has such a feminine vibe and I’m liking it a lot since I cannot wear red (a rule that still waits to be broken) unless rouge h box [emoji3][emoji3][emoji3]
Wow meowlett and cavalla. Bravo on collecting all colorways. I have 3 cws myself although it was hard to resist more-(still think about if I should have taken 3). Currently, I have cw 6, 7 and now 10!!! I could not find cw 10 in the US and finally found it in Geneva. So happy.
Congratulations on finding cw10! I also have 05 and 10 but it's 06 that's giving me a bit of trouble. It's still available at my boutique but I'm not 100% on it. I hope whatever happens, I don't regret!
So many lively CSGM designs for FW 2018...
