I wanted to add what I am hoping will be my last purchase for awhile after doing some damage by taking a u-turn back to last season this past week.
The other day I saw that the pareos were up on H dot com, and had figured out that the pic we saw in the back on page 2 of this thread was a pareo rather than a towel, a very fast and furious chase ensued. It was short (only a day) but of epic proportions.
As I was debating whether to get the pareo online with the blue cats, it inevitably sold while I was thinking. Of course, I had already figured out that the pareo seen in the press pics was going to be HTF. So I called customer service. Naturally, no searching is possible through them, but I did at least finagle all the color way information. Logic took over and I started my calls with the first boutique I could think of that was in the US, would be open in the AM my time, and was near a beach.... Hello Florida!!!
A fantastic SA in Orlando took my call, and worked his magic. Within a few hours, one had been located and he graciously co-opted it for me and had it sent to me here in TX. What a wizard! Frieda and Finn have nom-meownated him for sainthood.
Jin et Leo Pareo (Jin Kwon) which I like to wear as a scarf on days that are cool and damp. He also did the 12 Leopards shawl and you can see the resemblances in the styling and execution of the drawing.
H103450M CW 12 This is a ~36x70" pareo rectangle, not the giant almost square one.

I love how they look like they are just about 2 seconds away from doing someone some mischief.
