That’s what I wanted to get too, it is so pretty
Did you get it on their website? Because the photos on there look very red but the description says ebene so I’m confused.

Got it from store. In real life is no red at all. Dark brown it’s very beautiful colour in my opinionThat’s what I wanted to get too, it is so pretty
Am brand new to TPF making my first post. Long time lurker! Glad to find people who love this format, it is my abso fave!
The 140 CSGMs had me the moment I got my first one after only doing 90s. I've never looked back! I love the extra bit of warmth they give on chilly days and the fabric is so soft, the designs... the colors... all of it.
Now loving my 2 newest, an Alice Shirley Three Graces that I snapped up from H.com earlier this month and 12 Leopards. I had seen other Graces colorways but this one was the one. I had to have it! The other is a Christmas present from my DH who totally indulges my obsession. I don't have anything with the colors of the 12 Leopards, so it's new territory for me. An all new palette to play with! Mustard yellow, wine, and a funky teal. Not quite sure what that color is.

My first one for the new season SS2022: Faubourg Tropical CW11 Blanc/Rouge/Corail. This had not even been on my WL and came as a total surprise. Love at first sight:
Was asked to show comparison pix between my FT and the Leila from SS2014. Not sure if my CW is the one that is the most similar as there had been two “red“ CWs in 2014: 04 Blanc/Framboise/Lie de Vin (which I own) and 09 Blanc/Canelle/Roux. The FT is lighter IRL than shown on the website. From H.com:
For me, my Leila has a different vibe and I would combine it with totally different colours:
Side by side:
Hope this helps even if the other CW of Leila had been meant...

It is stunning on you and I agree totally diff. with Leila.
Thank you so much Sammy Royal! I am considering a Leila from a reseller and I just bought FT in this same groegous cw. I agree very very different vibe. Really appreciate the comparison shots and your lovely mod shots always!
Thank you so much, my dear friend! - Are we twins on the Leila?
You are very welcome, dear etoile!Many thanks, Sammy!
Thank you and congrats, dear twin! It is really an amazing shawl! Looking forward to seeing your pix.
Dear Sammy, I am your twin with this Leila and to my eye they are similar (perhaps I am trying to talk myself out of the FT). It seems that there is more of the blanc background on Leila and on FT more background space is covered. What gives the different vibes? Thank you and you wear both so beautifully.
Thank you! - The pic of FT from H.com is quite similar to our Leila. However, IRL the FT is much lighter. Please see my last comparison pic. The colours of the Leila are much stronger, darker and have a fall/winter vibe. Am combining it mostly with different dark reds. The FT can be described as sunny-creamy-peachy and has a spring/summer vibe for me. If you see the blazer, sweater, cardi I combined it with... - none of these would go that nicely with our Leila. - Good luck deciding!
Sammy, I love your "sunny-creamy-peachy" description!
I ordered your cw yesterday, will be interesting to see how it compares with my Leila CSGM (blanc/canelle/roux) which already leans towards the warm Faubourg Tropical colors. Hopefully different enough, will post comparison pics on arrival.
Oh yes, please do! This will be a very interesting comparison! Let‘s hope for them to be sufficiently different!Sammy, I love your "sunny-creamy-peachy" description!
Thank you so much for this thoughtful explanation. Makes sense and the sunny-creamy-peachy aspect is very enticing. I usually wear our Leila with black - need to experiment more.
