Both LOL but I really meant the PdS! I'm going to have to take pics and post my PdS haul!
Yes, please share your haul!

Ok loves! Picked up CW 14!!! @Joannadyne- I went in for 05 but I couldn't stop thinking about @Bostonjetset's photos!!!

Needless to say, 05 and a few others are still reserved for me in my pile.

Also picked up a Les Bains de Hermès 100 and a Savannah Dance gavroche. I have a super important meeting this week and always have a weird tradition of buying a new gavroche for career-related meetings.View attachment 3661638
Ooh, 14 is stunning on you, csetcos! Great choice and I love it against the vivid color of your shirt - nice contrast. (I predict you will be back for 05 by the end of next week. [emoji6]) Also which cw of Les Bains did you make yours? And good luck at your meeting! Don't break with tradition now!!

Gorgeous! And I like your tradition too - I bet it ALWAYS brings you good luck! [emoji4]
 
For those interested in the digital engraving/inkjet printing questions brought up by the paler reverse on this design , here's a link to an article by Dumas.
http://www.cleveland.com/style/index.ssf/2013/10/herms_artistic_director_pierre.html

He was happy to state that Hermès embrace new techniques if they increase the artistic possibilities and give the designers tools which enhance their realisation . That kind of makes it better for me; having more tools by embracing modern techniques is different to cutting costs and increasing productivity by substituting them for traditional skills .

Very smart on you csetcos!
 
I want to ask those 07 owners if you have any issues on the cream part near the border? It looks like where the hems are fastened was pulling the threads from the scarf if that makes sense. It's more obvious when you are under the indoor light. It reflects the imperfection. I ordered mine online and was not so happy with the quality and requested for an exchange. But the second one was only worse. It not only has those pulling but also has a snag. It's faint but it's there. I don't see this problem with any other CWs. I wonder if there's anything specific to this CW that's causing this? Or is this the new style - veining on the scarf? j/k.

Anyone has the same problem?

I hope this photo would show you what I mean

Hi cavalla! I don't have this on my PdS but I do have it on other scarves - and it was apparent fresh from the store. [emoji53][emoji53]

Did you bring them back and what did they say? I brought mine in and they seemed shocked but other than ordering one for me - they don't have it in store- they didn't provide any answer. But same issue on same scarves? Hmmmm....

No, I just always presumed it was normal because I have had it on a few of them. It's interesting to know it's not normal practice!!

Could it possibly be due to tighter stitching and is also more visible on the cream part as it's a very light colour? I hope you get a perfect one in exchange, cavalla!

Back to hand-raising....yes, I also see this as a "Grail" in the Tohu Bohu, ELEK, and (for those of you who remember) Rencontre Oceane vein. I have two so far and am considering a third. DEFINITELY awaiting the GM!

I remember when using the term 'Grail' was controversial! And I also think this phenomenon stated with online auctions, sales, and our increased interconnectedness and photo sharing. But I guess that's a thought for another thread.

Cavalla, my 07 does not have any of that puckering or whatever it is. DDsaurus bought it in one of the Las Vegas boutiques. I hope you are able to get one that doesn't bother you!
