I have to have this one also! I really like how you have accessorized it. I wonder if my raisin Bolide will go with this? I'm bad with color unless the pieces are next to each other,

Love it
This is gorgeous on you!!
Absolutely! It would go perfectly with this! I also have a 70 and 2 moussie stoles in RdC...
Loving the blues Croisette, scarf1! Looking fabulous! Twins with Croisette and scarf1 your photo is so tempting me to be your twin too! Is it very purple irl? Thanks!
Thank you. I would call it a purplish blue to bluish purple. Go over to the FW 2016 thread I posted some pix to help see the true color. Someone thought it looks like electric blue. Which is the official color. To my eyes it looks more like a bluish purple, particularly if worn with blue.
Ladies, please let me lament a bit:
I like my CSGMs a great deal: the size, how they feel, the comfy warmth, how they add color during the gray and dull winter days.
I like how ElainePG calles her Chasse en Indie a "comfort blankie", hers is more than 20 years old and kept shape well.
BUT: whenever I wear them for a day I have to plan a movie night during the next week to mend the pulls that will happen. And they get fuzzy so quickly...
The 15€ Pashminas I have seem to hold structure much better.
I do take care when wearing them, but pulls still happen. I am glad for MrsOwen's Tutorial, but no matter how much I try, it will never look like new...
With the silk twill 90 scarves I do not have issues like that.
On the other hand: I want to wear them daily as soon as it gets cold, want to get another one, but considering the price it just hurts. I am almost afraid to wear them, it takes the pleasure away...
I know, there are various discussions on this all over the H subforum. I just had to let steam off (it just took me two episodes of the Simpsons in the background until a really long pull of 2 threads was back in place).
Whenever I consider getting another one (at the moment this here as I am looking for a predominantly blue one with some red and purple: http://all-en.hermes.com/la-maison-...-soie-140cm-au-pays-des-oiseaux-fl-95560.html) I consider how visible pulls might be and how hard they will be to repair.
Do you have these issues as well? How do you deal with them?
Here are some before/after pics...

not so happy (it extended for about 40 cm!):
Thank you for reading, sorry if my English sounds funny, I am really tired at the moment.

HoneyLocks, I am with you on this and I feel the same way. No matter what anyone tells me, the cashmeres are just not what they were years ago. I used to have GMs that were used as blankies, that were not carefully worn, that I was really able to use and enjoy, and they did not pill or pull. Ever since that bad batch of cashmere - maybe 8 or 10 years ago? - they are better than that, but they are not as they were. Even if corporate says they are. I have enough cashmere pieces from different designers to know that not all cashmere is the same (happy with Loro Piana and Kinross), but at these prices, they should still be as good as they were. Still, I will buy the occasional GM, as there is nothing to compare to H's printing and design. I'm just getting really good at fixing pulls!!
FWIW I have noticed a difference in the silk recently - just for the new season, I am seeing way more picks and pulls in my newer silk pieces, it was never an issue before.
