ITA about the Tigre being a "swamper." The Coupons or Marwari pattern is as "big" as I'm willing to go. Also, depending on how it's folded/draped, you lose most of the design.

yay!!! Just wanted to share. SA called and found the Black Tiger & Grey Ex Libris. I could only get one right now.....so after hard deliberation, I got the black Tiger. I can't wait to get it. Will post it here once it comes in.
Thank you thank you. Too bad its not something going on sale. SA said that NONE of the shawls would be going on sale this year. (atleast not at my H) SOOO not fair.
I have the Tigre Royale in the grey pink CWY and love it~~sooooo classic Hermes
pink and grey, just lovely combo!
I know- I just read a fabulous reveal where the OP stated there were Mawari (including the rose) and the Cheval Sur Mon Carre (the gris/black/naturel) CS GM at the Paris sale today!! It is really unfair that we here in the US cannot share in the goodies. The BH sale is good if you like RTW and twills but not a whole lot else there usually.
First, Raz, happy belated bday! I am so sorry about the snags in your beautiful Marwari. I think you are right about the second one...that looks awfully difficult to fix. I would come unglued, but as I think about it I realize you should just wear it happily and fold around the blooper. Look it as the first ding in the new car. Yes, it is no longer perfect, but now you can enjoy wearing it without worrying. And it is SUCH a beautiful shawl that no one will notice, they will just be admiring the fab design. 
Honestly, in my view one can never have too much black in anything. I wear black, mostly all black, nearly every day so shawls with colors and black backgrounds are perfect! The Ex Libris is more of a neutral IMHO and with the large bright print in Marwari and Brazil, the smaller print in POO is a perfect addition! 
Woo hoo - you have the same bubble gum pink EA that I have. I was lucky enough to get mine through a TPFer and I love it to bits. I never even saw it in the boutiques as it was during my "off H" phase...
Congratulations Purse-o-holic! Great choice. I have this Tigre shawl and it's a favourite.
S so true. I about died with the first snag to my Mawari but then just thought, What the Heck? and now wear it more then I might have otherwise. Relax and enjoy!First, Raz, happy belated bday!

Isn't is amazing how that happens. We baby our things and preserve them to keep them pristine and then don't enjoy them. Once they have that "lived" in appeal, then we really enjoy them.
Yes, actually parts of it are framboise colour, with soft pink and some browns. It is actually a very nice mixture to wear in that it does not over power the person with one loud colour.
