Fingers and toes crossed!

I remember when I first saw the stock pics of this scarf way back last year when they first appeared, I was so awestruck by the stunning colourations of the design I literally gasped! And so far it hasn't disappointed. The best colourations for Hermes in a loooong time. Hope no one is bored with seeing more pics of 08 :amuse:

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!

YES! I noticed the same thing and really had to fuss with it so the pale reverse didn't show too much. I have a dark colorway though [#14] so maybe on a lighter c/w it would not show as much.

FrouFrou I could have not said it better! :flowers:It too took me a while to warm to the samouris. When I read the number of colours in the design I was sold! I haven't received mine yet but when I do I will look and compared them to my other scarves. Color saturation is a detail I never knew about!:flowers:

What a difficult choice to make.... finally i made mine though mostly due to timing and it being the only colorway available at our store in early March. Interesting comment Ms. P re: cool tones being more masculine. I have been told numerous times that I am very Yang ( vs.Yin) LOL. I adore the cool tones with bright pops of color! Another view on my IG page. Thanks for starting this thread BBC!

Fabulous, lanit! The silvery grey appears more formal, and I love that. :heart: That background (wallpaper? tapestry?) looks fitting, too.:amuse:

lanit, on you, 03 is far from masculine or anywhere near there. It's just lovely on you. And I have to say I'm intrigued by the colours on this cw. Oh, I also predict more cw for you. Just saying.
