MiaT- It was fun as a "social event" to see old friends who turn up at these sales and to look at what is marked down. But after realizing that I was still looking at spending a lot of money on stuff I was just so-so about and could not adequately inspect for damage, I left empty-handed with no regrets.

Well to be with friends and have a laugh - I'm all for it. (But I'd probably have to have something strong to drink before I got there!...and probably after too!)

I personally am not mad keen about the "S" stamp on a scarf, as I've seen some that are so strong they go through to the other side. But to spend so much money on some things I couldn't properly inspect, I would be heart-sick...then mad at myself to find a snag or run that I hope I would have noticed otherwise...

Yet - I am always intrigued and filled with joy to read of Forum members who get an amazing find at a sale, or a super buy on something they really wanted anyway.

Cheers to all who get through the sales and have wonderful goodies to make it worth the while!

Just be aware that Hermes orange is VERY "orange". I have a scarf I bought on ebay, and it turned out to be a LOT more "orange" than I expected - have to find just the right thing to wear it with.

If you want a gorgeous orange shawl you can not go wrong with Voyage en Etoffes. This is Kallie Girl's and it is stunning.

Is everyone buying just the black cw???

Here is a list of the Cirque cashmere/silk available at Madison Avenue:

01 - Rouge/Violine/Orange
02 - Noir/Vert D'Eau/Rouge
03 - Terracotta/Vert De Gris/Bois De Rose

I wonder why Madison Avenue alone got these unless it is to test the waters for possible wider distribution at a later date?

I have not seen the Zodiaque in orange but as LiW mentioned, the Etoffes is a great choice as is Mawari from last year (I think it is still in the boutiques). Ex Libris came in a bright orange that was stunning as well. I would contact your nearest boutique and ask them to do a search for what is available.

I also purchased the terracotta shawl. I will take pictures tomorrow. It is very lovely. I would call it a deep beachy pink.

Though I'm generally a Tohu Bohu fan and was not particularly in the market for another cashmere shawl, I lost my mind a little bit at seeing this Carre en Carre in person! Needless to say, my shawl "family" is now larger by one...
