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.

There seems to be a lot of chatter that buying the twill version and hand washing it would result in the look of the washed silks.

I completely disagree that this is the case. I agree with your assessment @Langsam, the wash silk is a lovely more muted rendition of the same colors. I have been collecting and caring for my silks for many years. Hand washing my twills even ten times would not result in the same feel of the washed silk imo. And for me, for this specific design, I prefer the muted more natural organic colors and printing rather than the bright pops. Just my two cents and to each their own.

The vintage silks are just different in quality and and feel. I for one, appreciate a washed silk in my collection and can’t wait to receive mine.

Love your choice!
 
Currently loving the men’s 100 cashmere silks and looking into these two. Anyone has experience with this format or modshots?
I have the Hermes Galaxy in the same format from last season and love it. Find it much easier to wear than silk twill, and the extra 10cm compared to the women's 90 also allows for better looking knots IMO

ALice Shirley’s Awoooo and Ugo Gattoni’s Les Bains are both men’s silks and I love this size format. More wearable and easier to wash than the silk twill, less precious. Go for it! Both are modelled in the Clubhouse Ode to Alice Shirley or Unite for Ugo threads.

Ah, thanks, this is what I hoped [not :lol:] to hear!
 
Hello ladies, after missing out on the first edition of "La Marche du Zambèze" I ordered two colourways of that joyful scarf in silk twill straight away: No 14 (orange/brun/caramel) and No. 20 (rose pâle/vert/jaune). As Living-la-Vida-FiFi says all quite well, No. 20 is a no-brainer, but No. 14 ( my favourite :smile: ) imo is a real surprise: A very vibrant orange base paired with very warm yellows, browns, beiges and even pale rose and cream - this colour composition turns the scarf into perfect harmony (see detailed pics). I also added two pics allowing to compare the "pale rose" and "orange" to the same colourways of two older scarves ("Pois de Soie" and "Bolduc") to show the difference, maybe some of you might be interested in.

Here is a quick mod shot of my first scarf of the new season: La Marche du Zambeze CW 14 orange/brun/caramel Such a breathtaking design and the colors are so so gorgeous Did you ever buy a lipstick just because of the name? I did yesterday, the name of the lipstick is "Orange Danger". And this is exactly where I always am. I will take more pics of the scarf tomorrow.

More CWs of this (IMO rather ugly, that pink flower clashes so badly with the red hems) design:

Aww- I actually rather like both of them.

There were 4 CWs earlier in the week, and so just keep checking. If it goes anything like last season, they kept mostly getting in the same CWs that sold out so I'd just check in again. If I see it, I'll PM you. (I mean...if I HAPPEN to be looking on H dot com.... :lol: No reason or anything.... :lol: )
Thank you for clarifying that the orange scarf (or similar desirables) appear sporadically. I'm surprised that H doesn't bring a boatload of select designs for the web and dole them out one by one. It seems that's what they used to do for decades. So the web offerings were pretty static and predictable.
Scarf mail! Marche au Zambezi CW 21 in silk twill. I missed this during its original release. Like @bunnycat , I always wash scarves and decided to save $50 and buy the twill rather than the wash version.
@momasaurus - hope these help!
my first thought when I opened the box was that the colors were more saturated than I expected. The darker blue looks like blue ink.It is close in color to my bleu royal bangle. I will most likely wear with either pink or navy. I also included a shot of the back side - you can still see the image, but it is much more pastel. ( I know some of you care about this). I can see myself possibly wearing this backwards if I want a much more pastel scarf.

The sweater in the pic below is actually navy.

Scarf1, this is absolutely gorgeous.

I wonder if Marche du Zambeze was done by the same artist(s) who did Flowers of South Africa? I never got Marche so I never looked closely at it. But now I see that the artistic styles are similar IMO.
