Scarves Ode to the Cashmere/Silk GM/Tri Shawls

I acquired my first H 90s silk on Halloween 2012. Then I acquired THREE CS GMs within one week may be a month or so later, after reading the posts here intensely. But within days I discovered that in the sub-tropics I lived in, this item was really a waste of money. Yes, I suffocated in them most of the time, even in the mild winter here, & soon I swore never to touch them again in my life.

Fast forward to last Dec, I brought along one of them on my Xmas shopping as dinner was on the agenda. In the freezing air-conditioning, I felt warm drapping it on my shoulders. When I left the restaurant I draped it LOOSELY around my neck for there wasn't much room in my shopping bags. Ï didn't feel hot this time. Then I discovered how versatile this item was. I acquired my 4th one a couple of weeks ago & am now waiting for my 5th!:D
Ooh, do tell! Can't wait t see your new GM!

chincac, my dear, you're such a dangerous gal...Seeing you in this, I could run straight on to have it. But I do know my head is just looking like another big white dot among these white dots. My wallet thanks me soo much! ;)

Thankyou Anfang , it would be great if you would have a look .:search:
A look on what, my dear frou frou? I posted some pics of Place de la Concorde, outside H and H windows yersterday on the Café, to give you all a small taste of Paris yesterday. But I really could not snap a pic inside, as it was not at all overcrowded, and my SA was with me all and every minute... The point is, she knows I'll try to snap some spy pics, and she looks at me...
 
Dear chincac,

Great modeling picture as always. I remember seeing this shawl irl. Just don't remember it being half as nice as your demo here. Can you share the secret here beside you just make everything beautiful. :tender: I've been trying to stay away from PF to avoid all temptation. You are definitely one of the major reason I need to stay away. LOL!!!

That is the problem with our dear chinac. Everything looks gorgeous on her!
 
Hurray on beating the price increase! You needed this one, since you look so fabulous in it!

thank you Monceau! yup, just in the nick of time..:smile1:

:smooch:

I second this!

:smooch:

So after admiring all y'alls lovely shawls on here for many months, I asked the SA at my local H store to help me try one on. And I felt like it was trying to kill me (the shawl, not the SA), either by strangulation or suffocation, I'm not sure which. It just seemed sooooo big, I could not wait to take it off.

I only started wearing 90cm scarves within the past year and that took a little getting used to. Did it take you a while to learn to love the GMs? I fear that perhaps I'm just not the GM type. I certainly can see how it would keep you warm, though!

hmmm..i started on a 90cm, never wore it anywhere. don't like the feel of the silk at all nor the size. eventually used it to shoulder carry my evelyne! stumble upon the 140cm in the airport and never looked back since. effortless to wear and tie..and sooo beautiful the designs and colours. i also like the 70cm scarves too. love the feel of vintage silk..:smile1:

And sorry for unintentionally keeping you away ;) And no secret really, H just makes amazing shawls in a variety of colours and designs that suits and appeals to many imho :D i am retiring from shawls for a while..i want to enjoy the ones i have collected so far..so please do come back to tpf!

chincac, this is perfection on you, simply dreamy!

One of my new shawls I got for Christmas.



Really love the colours in this Mars shawl


I am smitten with the colors in the cw of Mars too, designerdiva, I'm so tempted :graucho:
 
Pictures from the last few weeks of one of my very favorite shawls (in two colorways). Sigh, I wish that I could find the turquoise blue....
