Scarves Ode to Parures de Samouraïs

My Ode seems to be an Odysey...

I liked CW 4 from the first time I saw it, but decided against it (well, I went overboard this season with 2 Maharanis, 1 Appaloosa and a CSGM, I also got some preloved ones, but I am very experienced escaping ban island). I did not like that it pictures armor (yeah, I am a hypocrit as I already have a Sous l'egide de Mars), did not like the gray that is featured so prominently in the modshot at hermes.com, did not like that the bias has two so very different tails. And I think Samurais are scary (nothing against Japanese culture, they were supposed to be scary...). and it was not available at stores I visited to try it on. Finally it disappeared from the maison des carres-page. I felt almost relieved.

BUT: All of you posted so many wonderful pictures, One more beautiful than the other. CW4 has so many colors that like. I think it has the most gorgeous browns Hermes ever made. I love the greenish and olive tones, together with the brownes it reminds me of trees, bark, moss. I like the sky blue background. I like the bits of teal. The pattern is beautiful, when tied it does not show the references to war, only beautiful colors and pattern.
Suddenly I seemed to notice references everywhere: my mom took pictures of similar patterns during her holidays, I saw samourai armor in the museum, @Joannadyne posted all her photos from the exhibition, It got harder to resist.

So when traveling I entered a foreign H boutique where they were very accommodating and ordered it in from an other city, luckily we stayed long enough for it to get there.

As soon as I tried it on it was as if I had lost my free will. I played around and just asked the SA to box it for me :angel:.

Today is my last day off, the weather tells me to stay inside, so I had time to play around and take many pictures. Very many pictures in different knots, in different light (not much natural light, so there are some bathroom pics as well, sorry...). This CW has not been shown often, maybe all the pics can help somebody as much as I have been helped here many times.
Please share my joy:

I like how different biases bring out different colors, this scarf is such a chameleon!

I officially join the club for Parures de Samouraïs CW 08:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

After getting CW 04 a couple weeks ago, I have thought that get CW 01, 05, and 13... At that time, I had never thought that I would get CW 08 as I thought it would look cold on me... Until yesterday, things changed.... I tried CW 05, and 13, they looked good on me. I was quite disappointed with CW 01 as it looks too yellow on me..I then asked my lovely SA if she might have CW 08 for me to try ( I was just curious to try it as I saw that it is popular here). She had it, and when she got it out for me, my jaw dropped...it was much more beautiful than I have thought....

Thank you for you all for showing the photos on here... without your photos, I will miss these beautiful scarves :heart::heart::heart: After acquiring CW 04, 05, 08, and 13, I hope I can be on ban island for a while...

Your photos are incredibly helpful and enabling!! This cw is gorgeous on you, and it's the one I fell in love with when I went in to try on all the cws today. This one was the front-runner for me, but the only cw they didn't have is the one I have to see before I make my final decision (cw#5). This is just beautiful on you...great choice!
