Thank you !
I wear mostly shawl as you do, I could not pass on this (unworn) beauty.
I hope the cashmere quality is OK. I do not know when it was made.
oh, the cashmere is THE best. You will remember me saying this but the quality of those are bullet proof. They have zero piling, the weaving is super stong so it won't snag with your nails for sure, and you won't see the fuzz on the hand rolled edge that you see on the modern edition shawls:smile: Just don't wash it and as colors could bleed and the water might create fuzziness where the colors meet (I have seen enough of washed cashmeres through my collecting endevours:smile: If you get it dry cleaned properly, it will last forever and will look young and fresh for years to come. Fantastic find.

I have Ashanti shawl from the same year of issue - it went through a lot but the fabric looks better than the shawls of 2023 edition:smile:)

So nett von Ihnen ! Vielen Dank, liebste Croisette !
Echt wunderschön !
(und verzeihen Sie mir bitte für meine Fehler, ich habe seit Jahren nicht geübt...)

Do you have any idea when this shawl was released ? I read the design, as a 90cm, dates back to 1997, but I do not know about the shawl.
Merci bcp, chère monteverdi ... I'm sorry I don't know the year.
I bought mine 2ndhand 2020 in Paris.

Helloooooo Scarflandia!!
I wish you all the very best in 2024 and - ahem - lots of silky adventures!

I am - again - woefully behind… I blame the long holiday weekend(s) and perhaps a tad, a scooch, a weeeeee bit of the Champagne!

So - golly… decisions to make, categories to invent. :giggle:

2023 was a year of several grails (:woot:), and a very soft slide down the CSGM slope… who knew it would be so fun?!?

Without further ado <drumroll>

(Yes - I know that’s a strange choice, but each time I wear it I am astonished at how beautiful it is ❤️)
It is esp. elegant with your brown sweater, Cookie!
 
I thought you might have one as well. Perhaps it’s a prediction coming true!!
Thank you @SilkCouture but I only ca dream of that Brandebourg CSGM-- it is still a grail for me! Wish me luck...

Thank you @paula24jen -- I am on the mend and yes, Awoooooo is the scarf equivalent of a security blanket-- it makes anything better. Happy New Year to you!
 
How many scarves that had been added to my collection last year is a number that is only whispered in small padded rooms, placed in Dark underground caves in conspiratorial conversations between me, my conscience and perhaps my bank. A number no man, child or rational Human being will ever know.
In short - the best collecting year ever!
Wonder if it has something to do with the tender enablement, support and inspiration from all of you?!

I have the same feeling @HermesEchidna - found lots of grails last year! Looking forward to your Oscarf picks!

Oh wowza!!! I think we must dub you the queen of CGSM! These are stunning. The colors in that Patchwork Horse just leap off the page! And of course that Samourais :loveeyes:
 
FW2023 in my mind has been more of a B+ sort of season (whereas for me, SS23 was an A). I bought three 90s, a 70, a gavroche, and a twilly.

‘Best of’ for FW2023 for me is easily Parade en Fanfare, as @violetkool and @Living.la.vida.fifi also voted. I’m hugely enthusiastic about this design and would have bought more 90s if any of the other colorways had worked. Mine is cw03 (Bleu Nuit / Beige / Vert Sapin).

It is also my SOTD, mashed up with another darling FW23 piece, Pantin City. These two go together so well it’s silly, and also problematic bc it tends to tempt me to find other scarf ‘pairs’ that I can wear together.

Great double up pairing, Jereni! Sanfrantastic! Yes, that could easily be a slippery slope - a wallet slimmer, too :lol:.

Twins on the grail CSGM Samourais Cookie! That's the same exact CW that wins my best csgm grail award and design that started my slide down the silky slope. :biggrin:
 
I am always on the lookout for special scarves, i.e., Special, Limited or Exceptional Editions. Here are a few of the special scarves that I added to my collection during 2023.

La Musique des Spheres - Limited Edition for Lincoln Center 50th Anniversary

View attachment 5921969View attachment 5921970View attachment 5921971

La Musique des Spheres had been on my wish list for years, and I chanced upon one in excellent condition for a great price on a website for a consignment shop located in Florida. Then, I noticed it was a special edition for Lincoln Center, and research showed that there were only purple and orange colorways for the special edition. And, I had stumbled across the purple. :happydance:

The Oscarf for Special Scarves goes to La Musique des Spheres Lincoln Center 50th Anniversary Edition.

That La Musique des Spheres color is perfect for you!
 
Well, I have done my tallying. My 2023 number is a lot, but I am making myself feel better by comparing the number to last year which was more :girlshocked:. At the end of each year, I find it so helpful to take a good look at the year’s ins and outs, as well as hard look at entire collection.
I’ll start with a scarf that wins three awards ;)
“Biggest Bargain” Award AND “Never on my radar but couldn’t pass it up at that price” Award AND I truly am thinking this- “the best scarf ‘on me’ of any in collex” award. I actually glow in it.

You are too kind and I (sadly) am not the queen of CSGM.... yet! :lol:

Yay twins!!
It is a beauty!
An Oscarf goes to this grail for being longest on my wish list to finally come my way this winter:

Fantastic finds!! I’m very happy for you!

BTW….I completely agree with your secret approach to scarf acquisitions – I couldn’t stop laughing at your comment! It hits close to home. As for my husband, he’s seen an endless parade of boxes but remains charmingly clueless about the real tally. If he ever finds out, I might have to turn those dark caves into a permanent residence! Keeping the count under wraps is definitely the key to marital harmony, right? 😂🧣 #SecretScarfSociety
Dear all
Now I am back from National Pajama Day, I have carried the tree down and out, restocked the fridge, been taught by my daughter how to knit and not least - played with my scarves, to select nominees.

How many scarves that had been added to my collection last year is a number that is only whispered in small padded rooms, placed in Dark underground caves in conspiratorial conversations between me, my conscience and perhaps my bank. A number no man, child or rational Human being will ever know.
In short - the best collecting year ever!
Wonder if it has something to do with the tender enablement, support and inspiration from all of you?!

My two categories for today are an age and a grail category.

I was happy to add two very wearable designs which are both from the early/middle 1960s and thus older than myself. So my Oldie and Goldie Oscarf goes to Gastronomie and Les Coqs.

2023 was also the year when a few long-seached-for personal grails found their way to my mail box - la Femme aux Semelle de vent and Into the Canadian Wild being two of Them.

A third grail gets the prize for Most Well Travelled Turkey. This - my first and currently only - Kermit Oliver was sent from UK and arrived here in Scandinavia 8 weeks later having been in both Mumbai, Italy and the Netherlands. (The Sound of my sigh of relief upon arrival could deserve its own special Sound effects Oscar…)

Will be back tomorrow with nominees for the Good, the bad and the really ugly + Best Scarf Swap.

Wish you all a lovely Day!
