Ok, I'm ready to play. I have a small collection of csgms. I didn't really get them at first. I thought they were too casual for my lifestyle, but I have since figured out how to integrate them into my wardrobe for casual, work or evening. I also figured out that they are very practical to keep me warm in our harsh winters. So while I'm feeling rather full on the 90 cm format I am open to new csgms. I also figured out that all of my csgms have one characteristic in common: none has a particularly strong border. I'm more interested in the overall design of the scarf. Strong borders don't really work with how I wear mine. In case you can't see well, I have 11 total. The mors and cavalleria d'etriers are very similar. I would say that my favorites are the cavalleria d'etriers and brandebourgs.

I would like to join the party. It doesn't happen else where that I get to confess my obsession of getting multiple CWs for a design I like. A compulsion only you scarfies will understand.

I'm still waiting for my Dans l'Atelier de Robert Dallet in gray and am looking around for a black CSGM. Black is challenging for me but missing a black seems incomplete for a collection. Zenobie in black and gold might be a good candidate, but it's hard to say before trying it on.

This is stunning. I dont remember this design. I am a sucker for blue. Your collection is perfection and so well thought out.Thank you so much for sharing with us. How do you store your shawls? Just curious.

Thank you dear! I am a big sucker for all things blue too and find it hard to say no to blue shawls haha. I stack the shawls on top of each other, in 4 stacks according to color, pretty much similar to the photo and place them in a drawer. i normally purchase the shawls without the box, dont quite like the smell of the box and paper...

Thank you for sharing your shawl philosophy Pocketbook Pup! Very interesting to read. Do you prefer the 90s or 140s now? I am drooling at your mors, nearly got that but thought it is too similar to the cavalleria detriers. What is the name of the one above the brandebourgs pls? Thanks again!

Hi, the black shawl above brandebourgs is ex libris. I bought that one from a reseller for a very pretty penny but it was worth it.

Mors is very similar to cavalleria d'etriers but doesn't have the purple or brown so it works with one or two of my outfits that cavalleria does not. Plus I thought having two would preserve cavalleria longer [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

I still wear both my 90s and my 140s. My favorites are the 140s in any format. I just love the length and the large swath of fabric. But there are some beautiful 90s too and sometimes they do seem more work appropriate.

Thank you, its a good thing the 90s dont work on me... I got the grey ex libris but have to say the black is much more striking. And totally understand your theory on the cavalleria...... been using the cream brandebourgs so much it has a few pulls... if i find a brand new one at a reasonable price i will snap it up!

The grey ex libris is beautiful too. I thought about getting that color too but I'm trying to set some limits. [emoji23] I also thought about buying back ups of the ones that I love. So far I have avoided that temptation.
