On the other end of the brightness spectrum, here are more shots of my MdZ wash scarf. The wash texture is indeed scrumptious! So wearable, this has hardly left my neck since it showed up. The rose pale color is hard to capture in a photo, it definitely appears lilac-leaning pink IRL, not creme or gray. The first photo is the most color-accurate. Studying the scarf further, the "dip-dye-like" effect seems to originate from the base fabric itself. I think the entire fabric of the scarf is rose pale (including hem), then the rest of the design was printed on top of that, so every color is suffused with the rose pale, making for a very soft and low-contrast effect. For sure not as low contrast as a true dip dye, but you can tell that the scarf is not a bunch of colors separately printed on a white/plain silk. Thoughts? The first picture is most color-accurate in my opinion.

@Langsam - I like the deep penetration of the colors along the border of MdZ, the browns in your colorway and the greens in mine. The black crosshatch is only on the front. It makes for very handsome tips, which nearly always show in my preferred knots.

I also like the petite fabric care tag. It is much smaller than the one on my new Ex-Libris Atlantis 70, which I promptly cut off.

So tempting!!! Thanks for all the info and these great pix. I love the idea of an entirely rose-pale base. Won't that do wonders for the complexion?

What? They are messing around with the fabric tags again? Good luck to future authenticators.

Am I crazy, or does it seem like this CW of Zambeze (bleu ciel / bleu jean / rose) has fewer different colors than the others? Do they do that? View attachment 4961525

Moma you’re not! This one is more monochromatic to me but for the pops of pink. This is the one I asked my SA to order in and now I’m rethinking whether I should instead go for the navy blue with fuschia pink hem to have more of a contrast on this design. I’ll post pics when it arrives, no idea when that will be sadly. The website always seems so much faster.
