My SA tried Vancouver and US online store to no avail! Congrats on finding one
maybe the Hermes gods will smile on me who knows
So, I decided to take one for the team and order a scarf that I really wanted to see here first. So, now that it finally arrived I took the time tro create the content I wanted to see myself, hoping it will help others. And asking for advice.
Are you ready to get flooded in pictures?
Please be pretty! Please be pretty! And please, look good on me...

I really was intrigued by the design, as soon as I saw it. I already was looking for its predecessor, a vintage silk square. I visited Normandy a few years ago and really liked it there, so it will bring back memories when wearing it. And the CW looks so summery 
.
But it is huge, this will be too much silk for summer. And the yellow and grenadine, not my most flattering colors...

And it is HUGE. Well, the size of two regular 90cm scarves. It is regular silk twill, no plume, not washed. It was rather stiff out of the box.
See how huge it is? It tries to drown me! But it feels lovely being drowned in this much silk.

I tried this on as well. Not sure how practical it is to wear but interested if anyone can find a way!
Here comes the tricky part: I do not like these colors (yellow, grenadine) close to my face. Please, I need some input.
The last shirt (soft lilac)picks up the lilac tones of the scarf rather well. But trying it on I knew how it ended at the bottom of the pile, not being worn in a long time. Not my best color.
Sorry for the blurred face, usually I prefer cropping, but I left it in on purpose, so you can give me an hones reply, how badly it clashes with my skin.

With some other colors:
ocean blue:
eggshell (looks like a different scarf):
dark purple (a nice surprise, as this seems to work out really well. Unfortunately, the dress does not fit me well any more):
and emerald green, not bad either:

How I left the house:
how I came back home (it got rather warm):
I DO like the hot pink and blue parts.

See my previous posts. It is luscious "normal" silk twill. I hope it will soften with use, otherwise it will have to get washed.
It is a challenge to wear it indeed, a huge amount of silk to handle. I have several 140cm silk squares and really like to wear those, but these rectangles are a different challenge.
With the bright red border a toga comes to my mind. Or a pareo...
And it can still be folded into a 90 cm square and worn like these.
I even consider opening a thread for this format to collect ideas, but am afraid, not enough people will be interested and the photos I took are rather wacky and experimental...
I think it is interesting, that for the Plages des Normades the long border is accented, whereas it is the short border of Aloha.

I wonder, how this look was created, especially how the model was able to move without the scarf not slipping off.

I love the scarf/shawl/stole but for me it's a pass. IMHO it acts as a substitute for clothing or jewelry. By that, I mean, it's so voluminous it covers up whatever you're wearing. It will hide a beautiful dress. It will hide a beautiful necklace.
It might be useful if you want to give a punch to something plain and nondescript, but on the other-hand, why? Why not put that money into a wardrobe update to buy something you don't want to hide. Just my thoughts . . .
@HoneyLocks I am drawn to the nostalgia of the design. I also have been hunting for the perfect colorway of it in 90. I love the fun, warm, and emotional fuzzies I feel with looking at your shawl in it’s fun summer colors and stripes. I love the graphics of the beach cabanas. I love the first pic of first post with it draped, and think how nice it would be over a solid colored summer dress for some added warmth and panache. I love it with the aqua and lilac and your outfit today. Love it. Yet I see it is doubled over in first pic! That’s a lot of fabric!! I can barely wear any silk in spring and summer due to the warmth of it and that’s with gavs through 90’s. So to me, it doesn’t seem worth the investment for the amount of times I could use it. But plenty of scarfies love a design so much it doesn’t matter to them how much they wear it. As far as color, I personally have problems w yellow. There are two very specific tones of yellow that I can handle seeing on me. It’s too hard to tell in photos if it doesn’t look good on you against your skin. It’s a mirror, and in-person thing to see what it does to complexion, imo. I wish I could help on that. Lastly, I believe if there is one thing a scarfie dislikes on a scarf then it shouldn’t be kept. My advice is to always return. Struggling to tie a scarf so one doesn’t see the part that bothers them, is just too much of a pain imo. We should be able to throw them on, any which way, and love its ability to spark joy. Love everything about it equals keeping it. One little thing I don’t like about a scarf in design or color means I won’t wear it. My rules to live by w keeping scarves now. I’m better at it now than before lol. Thus a big sell pile
What matters is if you will wear it. And if you have enough in your closet to go with it, which you do! It also looks great corralled in a long line in front of you.
