A simple comparison photo of the PdS cw 05 in 90cm silk and the shawl in cashmere-silk. Both are blue Samouraïs! View attachment 3936925I think @cavalla asked for this comparison, too. Sometimes, I forget these things. :amuse:

Thanks, @litchi ! I think if I can get this csgm, my heart will be soothed for missing the 90. :yes:

Then I might have to go back for 07 in 90. :lol:

Thank you, dear litchi. This CW doesn't disappoint. I've been a bit let down by how some CWs look so flat and does not look 3D like the silk at all. I love how they replace the gold with the grayish blue. They're similar in a sense but at the same time different enough to justify buying both.

Oh litchi, what a beautiful shawl! I am terribly late to the Parure de Samouraïs party but when I saw the silk scarf on the Hermès online store last summer, the cws didn't do anything for me. A couple of months later I discovered this wonderful forum and all your lovely photos of this design. But when I had finally fallen in love with it, the colourways that I liked most were all gone from the stores. How come that Hermès takes the most unflatterig pictures of their magnificent scarfs and shawls?

Now I'm looking for cw 5 on the internet but the ones popping up at eBay usually cost almost twice as much as their official price tag or they look fake. I suppose this design and this cw must be very interesting for forgers...

When browsing through eBay I came across this CSGM:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/HERMES-PARIS-New-55-034-x-55-034-Cashmere-amp-Silk-Large-Shawl-034-Parures-De-Samourais-034-/282783445776?hash=item41d734f310:g:gOwAAOSwa0VaPrSo&nma=true&si=2I1oTr7aC0mnJKyDJY3vpfjJLtQ%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

It looks like an exact copy of the silk cw 5 - but I cannot remember having seen that colourway posted on the spring scarfs thread. I suppose many are looking for this cw in this format so I was wondering if somebody who is not Hermès got creative... And yet, it sold.

That chart ist wonderful! But these official Hermès photographs are just too flat and pale. The CSGMs look so boring. Yet when I see litchi's comparison photo, the CSMG is just beautiful! I won't be fooled by Hermès photographs again. Maybe if I get the CSGM in cw 5 I'll no longer regret having missed out on the silk one. But it's not available in my part of the world yet.

I hope you'll be able to see more than one colourway of the cashmere shawls, thelittlefoxes. Do share with us what you think. :)

Thank you, Serva! Are you looking to get cw 07? I haven't seen that one irl and I feel that it would be wonderful, too. So far, I've only seen cw's 09 and 05.

Thank you for all the detailed pics litchi ❤️Cw 5 is on my shoppinglist and like a chessplayer I’m still patiently following my strategy, waiting for other cws to show up before my final move. BBC made a wonderful chart, but I have a hard time.accepting that this selection is all that we get. It’s so thrilling that the PdS are slowly finding their way to the online store.

I think I will settle with one cw in the end, because I anticipate after the huge success of this design, that it will not take a long time before we see a giant silk

Having seen the Samourais silks and some cashmeres, I have to say I am slightly disappointed with only 8 cw choices of the cashmeres and that the colourways are generally a lot more muted and less inspiring to me. I passed on the carres as I do not wear them and have banned myself. Granted I prefer muted colors and cashmeres are generally more muted anyway, but not that much. Look at the ElK GMs. Cheerful, uplifting and in a wide variety to suit everyone, which is why I bought 3. This isn't going to stop me collecting at least one but having trouble deciding which. :confused1:

Thank you, I hope so too! By now I've seen CW 5, 7 and 12 on this wonderful forum but I'd love to see them in real life and try them on. My store doesn't have a single one yet, I phoned them yesterday. Of course I could order CW 7 in the Hermès EU online store but I'd like to see several CWs next to each other to compare them. So I'll probably have to wait and hope that this design won't be sold out in stores and online before I get my hands on it.
