View attachment 3667013 Here is my 05 paired with earrings that I inherited from my mother-in-law. She bought these in the 1950s when she lived in Japan. When I first saw 05, I couldn't believe how the flower detail matched them perfectly! ( My Constance wanted to join in on the Samurai Party) This photo was taken at night inside.

So beautiful, Ladybaga! It will surely go with your beautiful smile! I didn't see the earrings at first as I thought they were part of the design! Have a wonderful birthday and a Happy Easter!

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

I have noticed this problem with other brand new scarfs fresh even from the paper packaging. I think these pulls are created if the hemming needle used on the silk is not quite as sharp as it should be.
I personally won't settle for this given the price of an H- scarf, and so I always inspect the edges at the hem very carefully, even before I take the scarf home from the boutique. If I find any pulls, my SA just orders another one for me as she knows now that I won't except a scarf that has this issue.
With respect to the PdS, I did notice these pulls with the 1st scarf of cw01 I looked at AMS airport boutique, so I asked to see another one. The young SA said in a snotty voice that it was "prefect from the package, madame".... but when I pointed out this issue he was speechless.
Because this type of thing really bothers me, I've always been reluctant to order on-line - but fortunately the two scarfs I did buy from usa.hermes.com were fine. I hope you get this resolved to your satisfaction.

Finally my turn to post here. Today I picked up colourway 02 and it is perfect with the denim dress I am wearing today. This will be a fun one, so many different aspects showing up with different folds.

They had three color choices today in San Francisco and when, I left there were only two.

Congratulations on your new Samouraïs, dear Ladybaga! And what lovely matching chrysanthemum earrings and
bracelet you've got from your MIL. I'm waiting for your modpic if possible and wishing you a very Happy Birthday!

Thank you, Croisette! I hope you are having a lovely Easter. I will post a pic this week. Upon studying the details of this scarf, I almost cried when I saw the perfect match with the earrings and bracelet. I feel as if my MIL is with me.
