I think 02 and 05 are a lovely pair. As for 03 and 08, it depends on your wardrobe. What colors do you normally wear that would match best with the 03 or 08?

I adore 08 and many other readers of this thread do too...

Thanks Cygne! I wear mostly neuturals, black, grey and navy blue. more darker tops than lighter ones. I am a "winter" (i think) in term of complexion.

I vote for 08. Heehee (I'm biased). Also, consider the rest of your scarf collection. If you have too many purples and blues, perhaps 03 would be the better option. It sounds like your wardrobe could mesh easily with either colorway.
 
You look gorgeous, @ms piggy! I love it on you. YAAH!

Aww, thank you for the cheer!

Thanks everyone for the enabling pictures! I need some help deciding between cw 03 (Gris/Jaune) and 08 (marine/rose). I already got cw 05 and cw 02, thinking i need a dark cw for winter and a lighter cw for warmer weather. After seeing all the lovely pictures of 03 and 08, I can't stop thinking about them! I generally don't look good in yellow, but cw 03 seems to have just the right amount peaking out when tied, is the grey more like sliver? Is 08 too similar to the 05 that I already have?

Appreciate your help!

I think either would work with your wardrobe. To me 03 is more 'masculine/cold' with the greys whilst 08 is more 'feminine' with the rose/pinks/purples.
 
My initial reaction to the enthusiasm over here for this design was …..bemusement . I felt it had a very dressy and serious vibe best left for more glamorous folk.
As ever first impressions need to be adjusted, and after a few encounters in stores I found myself falling for what you all saw months ago.
My choice today was the well loved and much documented cw 08 , and I'm loving the way it really is at least 3 different scarves according to the tie..
Hugely loving the shading and loving detail ,which all thought H had done away with in the age of digital printing.

Now I need to voice a small grouse, it could be something to do with new techniques , but does anyone else feel slightly off about the fact the reverse has almost no colour?
Mine is so pale on the reverse , it's a big contrast to the right side and annoying in some of my very casual , thrown on knots .
At one time saturation of the reverse was the sign the scarf was authentic., but more and more I note that many newer scarves have little colour there.
Any thoughts ?

I may have to post a modelling shot soon , I do seriously love this scarf!
 
Glad everyone's enjoying my posts! I have more pictures to share but it's been a rough day cooped up indoors with a sick crankypants kiddo. Yowzas, we haven't gotten out of pjs all day. I wish I had some drowsy cold meds for him so he could go to sleep easy tonight (and also because I need a break, haha!)
I too enjoyed your writing! Have you considered a career in blogging or writing? Hope your kid feels better soon!
