what I find interesting is that the "pink" is also soft............I am NO EXPERT on anything H, and I have not seen the "pink" MORS IRL, but to my limited knowledge aren't the H pinks usually pinkier? is the pink MORS "paler", "lighter" "softer" than typical? The Birds in Flight GM and silk (?) (my ignorance is showing, but the exquisite shawl with the birds taking off) has varying shades of pink.........all softish, and I think HSblue had a recent pink on evil B (maybe Early America? or something) that also seemed soft.
Also, doesn't it seem as if many of the MORS have a palette just lighter, softer than usual?
Pardon me, if someone has already addressed this. I would love to hear your thoughts on this, because I could be totally off base re: the pinks. Maybe all the pinks are soft, and I am confusing this with fuschia. Best and TIA
That said, the exquisite Blue in IF 's post 1496 is just exquisite.
It was funny bc it was sitting on h.com for the longest time... I think splayed out it doesn't look special... But put it on... And it's so EASY.. I love the colors. I'm sure your SA can still find it for you.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well that just sealed the deal!!!!! THANK YOUOOUOUOUOUOUOUOUOUOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG! I think IF just died and went to heaven!! Lol!!
Oh baby, did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will we be twinz again? don't answer. I already know Ms. I peed my pants when I saw Lagon white H clic clac. cough cough But don't worry, your secrets safe with me

Lol... Bonnie.. To clarify, yes, the pink in the Mors pink and lavender cw is definitely a baby pink. But I think you are on track, many of H's pinks have been brighter, not even including fuchsias.. For example, the pink border on KO's charity scarf - bright pink. But this s/s season, many cws are a softer pastel palette. HTH.
Yes the softer, more pastel pallette is definitely a theme this season in most of the offerings.... and although I'm drawn to brights.... I am also a pastel lover in certain shades... like blue and pink....
By the way, congrats on the stunning combo!!!! Can't wait to be your twin Karen!!!!!!!!!
I think your observations are very interesting, bjostone! I'm certainly no expert on H pinks either - for years I only wore blues....
In the last year or so it does seem that there have been more pinks that are either brighter fuchsia or more coral, than truly pink? I don't see that many shawls in person so would love to hear more from anyone interested.
Here's an old thread from 2008 with a bunch of various pinks:
http://forum.purseblog.com/hermes-shopping/09-22-08-cashmere-shawls-pics-my-sa-359953.html
For fun here's a collage of 'pink' cashmere shawls that I had pics of, some more successful than others. Cooler, fuchsia pinks don't work, nor do the slightly grayed or browned old rose pinks. :cry:
****Note, I never had all of these at once, it was a gradual process as I figured out what worked.***
Row 1:
Sorry, the pale baby pink Kachinas came up twice to balance out the grid! But it's a favorite.
Tendresse Feline - very warm, peachy pink.
Marwari - a bit dull. old rose pink.
Les Danses des Indiens - soft warm pink, incredibly flattering.
Cavalcadour - really flattering pink coral, very close to Rose Jaipur
Row 2:
Tropiques - great deeper coral pink.
Grands Fonds - towards fuchsia for the border, Bougainvillea warm pink interior makes it work. (plus turquoise.
)Paperoles - true pinky pink.
Kente - pink with some lavender.
La Femme aux Semelles du Vent - border old rose with a touch of brown in it? Pretty peony pink in the border.
Row 3:
Carre en Carres - left section is Bougainvillea pink again, pale rose pink for the BdeG interior.
Lujo Criollo - stronger bright fuchsia pinks.
Marwari - Rose Indien, intense and fuchsia.
Parures des Maharajas - same.

Ok, are you trying to give me a heart attack??? Goodness pierina, your pink collection is stunning! I had you down as a 'blue' girl who was putting her foot in the 'pink' water, but obviously you've been hiding that pink light under a bushel for quite some time!!!
On the 'pink topic', I was just thinking that H has done quite a few of what I would call 'true pinks' last season and this as well. I suppose I've only noted it because I am most definitely not a 'true pink' girl although I love seeing it on others. I'm thinking of the pink and black cws of Monsieur et Madame, LdR, Chasse, etc., and of course the beautiful pastels of SS 2014.
Mods: not sure whether this can be done at this point but it would sure be useful to have a 'pics only' thread for each season's scarf offerings. It's a bit of a pain to search thru a lot of text when you're just trying to find the pics. Just a thought....

Pierina, my pink loving heart nearly stopped when I saw your amazing collection of pinks GMs. Truly gorgeous! Thank you for posting photos of them!
