congrats on going to buy your first GM shawl, you will love it! Regarding the pilling...it is more of a "fluffyness" if you know what I mean...not heavy pilling, or I have not noticed that in any of my GM´s..

Thank you! good to know

IG,

I have CenC 06 and it hasn't pilled yet (but I have not worn it much)
Ex Libris noir/natural looks like a fluffy rag (but I love it BUT I am sad)
Ex Libris blue dur is fantastic and like brand new even with lots of wear???
Coupons INdiennes pulled almost immediately - but it was fixed and I love it
Leo Leila has pulls that could not be fixed (but I love it)
Orange Bolduc en Carre looks brand new even with lots of wear
Olive Bolduc en Carre looks fluffy, pill-y and sad with lots of wear
Cirque Molier has held up REALLY well.

Go figure - buy it if you love it, cross your fingers and hope for the best :)

Congrats Beth C on your gorgeous new Femmes! I so wish any AW09 worked for me but perhaps it is best for my wallet that it doesn;t.

I did find via world search a tigre royale GM c/s in noir/natural that is winging its way to me shortly.

Kat, its gorgeous on you - just pouffe it out more around your neck. Or you can twist it tightly like (looking for two old pics): here

hi
i bought it - and yes, it does really pill. after 10x wearing the yellow/gold parts look really sad.... i think the darker the color the less you see the pilling??? but still i really love my CenC

thanks dear 880! I will try different moves later,lol....so sweet of you to post pictures for me to see!

ps. I tried to fluff it more but it didn´t look good...I think I did the knot the wrong way,lol

regarding the pilling...I guess I haven´t worn mine enough to comment like I did. Sorry that yours is pilling italGreyhound....but you love it and that´s what counts, and like you say..darker colours show less wear I guess,

ItalGreyhound - congrats on your new shawl! :party:
I don't have the CeC shawl, but I think it is beautiful.

They are so wonderful, and I enjoy the ones I have very much. If you are like me, pretty soon you will be buying clothing based on what looks good with yourshawls and scarves...

L'aviation, I can see you rocking a CenC in 01,03, 04, 05, or 06 -- just saying:graucho:

or the 02 -noir,blanc,or - if I remember correctly Bergdorfs has one. Just didn;t know if 02 would appeal - didn't mean to m=imply it wouldn't look good - oh goodness, better stop while I am ahead. hugs!

Hugs, Kat - when I pouf mine out, there is very little at the ends. HTH - gotta run!

Yes, though I will go for the dark colours now. Wish I had bought the Cheval sur mon carré in black/grey when I saw it in Milano. if anyone comes across one please please let me know!!!!

880, um hmmm, I see....:p I think that design is one that I would have to try on in person. The scarf fairy visited me earlier this week, so my wearings to dollar ratio is not so great at the moment.
xo,
