No sweet sweet ladies... I did not bid on the purple TB. I just can't stomache that price so I doubt I will ever have a grail like TB unless it's rereleased one day or I totally LUCK OUT! Sadly I saw one listed on EBay about a year ago for $1099 from ShopFrance and I hesitated bc I had just purchased a few shawls... I believe Docride bought it. That was my one and only regret that I won't soon forget =( .... But glad it went to a PFer....

:search: I won't give up looking for you, D, timing is everything... One will come up and I'll pounce for you! ;)
 
Does anyone have the graff in this color way ? Are the edges really brown? I really like the green in the center but the brown edges are throwing me off (don't really wear a ton of brown). If anyone has some pictures, would help a lot!

Thanks!

I have this one! Hope this helps - it does have brown edges, it is a medium rich chestnut brown, not a dark mahogany brown - I think it compliments the khaki green well. It's a fun one!

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. :)

I ordered this this one and it should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday. Will post pics when it comes. I think it will be pretty for spring. I only have one other pastel shawl ( beloved India in mauve etoupe etc). We shall see!!

Thanks so much for posting! I didn't even realize there were blue/green letters in there too! Those colors are gorgeous ! Definitely a fun one I hope you're enjoying!

I'm going to have to think about whether I'll get enough wear out of this color way. Ive come by many of the orange/pink graffs but the darker ones have been difficult to come by for me so just might get it.
 
And perfect colors for Florida! What a gorgeous kitty you have!

Thank you! He is a character - more like a puppy dog following me around and into everything with his little mannerisms - makes me smile every day. :smile1:Even though we have tropical weather most of the year here in Florida, these shawls are great for the cooler evenings once in a while, and fantastic year round for the chilly air conditioned places. Love them for travel back to the ex-homeland in England too. Beautiful fun pieces of gorgeousness, each a work of wearable art, much appreciated. Thanks Pierina!
 
Fabulous, f-a-b-u-l-o-u-s! :loveeyes:



I can't decide, this is too hard!!!



What a perfect pair, Karen!



Woah Nelly!!! pierina, you closet pink lover, you! These are fantastic and that pink Paperoles is new to my eyes, I haven't seen this cw before, only Fuschia. I completely adore yours. Carre en Carres in that cw is a huge grail of mine.
You sure have some beauties in your collection ����

Thank you!
 
I think your observations are very interesting, bjostone! I'm certainly no expert on H pinks either - for years I only wore blues.... :whistle: :laugh:

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. :smile1:
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. :D)
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.


Thank you for this compilation, it certainly was a lot of work. And whatever process you went through was certainly successful because you wear "color" beautifully! Saw your post with the peach colored "Perroquets" (sp?) exquisite, the blue Lahbibi (sp), the
red Pappillion...............and on...........

I am going to go through this info and learn. Thanks!
