Scarves ......................... The Fall 2015 scarves ..........................

[VigeeLeBrun]

I also have the scarf book from this season. I've not photographed all of it but here are the designs highlighted in the book:

Thanks so much for taking the time to post these pics! They are a great help, julian.

Small update on the Cashmere/Silk front: according to my SA and his training in France, he told me that the content of the cashmere/silk remains the same. Nothing has changed. Only the label - it was always a bit more that 65% cashmere, more between 67-68%, so now they are rounding up rather than down.

Whether this is true or not, I do not know. Seems plausible, why else would he say that? I guess the "higher percentage" is a good justification for the price increase...

My SM said exactly the same thing. The content is the same as always. I have no idea if this is correct or not but interesting that others heard it also.

Sieste au Paradis CW 07. Also purchased Collections Imperiales in BW but that won't be here until Tuesday. Will post if someone else doesn't before then.

Julian f., the water color in your SdP has me wishing I could jump right into your scarf...it is unbelievably hot where I live in Europe!I am dreaming of snow right now!! Really, really beautiful cw you selected!

Vitamina, I think you perfectly capture what many of us are feeling about paddock and your concise explanation helps.

I am trying to think of how to use the "negatives" as positives. Thus I am thinking red or prune might work. Red because I'm looking for something almost solid red to go with a black and white print coat and dress set and the empty border might do the trick. Bova's comment about wearing the prune with black and it being too dark struck home. I'm thinking that perhaps prune would be better with lighter colors such as my medium beige coat and dress set to bring them into more fall colors. I'm going to try those two options, keeping in mind that when I buy a scarf I really want it to work with many of my outfits and not just one. I'll let you know what I finally decide and I can't wait to see your choice.

PbP, I love the idea of the red cw on you! I think, with the outfits I have seen you post, this would look absolutely stunning on you and would be such a statement piece with your black and white coat! I also love the idea of the prune/aubergine color to wear with your beige coat. I would imagine the golden/mustard colors through out being a highlight against your coat. That is a tough decision, my friend! Both sound so beautiful and so different! I still haven't made a decision. I ended up going in a total different direction today...gavroche style!! Yay!!

Thank you so much for your insightful comments dearest Vitamina, I agree with you on all of your points/concerns. The design is so captivating and the only reason I even considered it is because of the contrast hem, it really does make a difference. I played around with many different tying techniques last night to try and make a final decision, but still leaving the tag attached at this point! I also tried the multi colored one and thought that would be the one I would pick, but I had the same problem with the background color washing me out so to speak.

I can 100% see where the orange background would look amazing on you. It has enough saturated color that we like and enough of the varying colors in the design itself. Please keep me posted on what you decide as well, and I will continue to mull this one over all weekend I suppose!!

Bova, thank you right back for your wonderful feedback! I have to tell you, I asked my DH which he would prefer on me and, naturally, he selects your blue cw! He is a total 'blue' guy. I have yet to see the blue cw in person and think I should wait just a bit longer before deciding. Yes, I love the color saturation on the orange so much. It is just taking a bit more creative thinking on my part to think how I would wear it. Denim and gray would be great...black no. I would look too Halloween I think! Uhh, like you, I wait and think about it a little longer! I have to share with you, as you love gavroches like me, that I got to see lots Tapis Persans and Super H! TP is fabulous x10! I picked up two, but think I like a few more. They are soooo cute in this format! Have you seen them in your Boutique? If not, you will love them...I promise! Such an easy purchase!

That is truly hysterical, Meg!

STUNNING!!!! Great cw!

 

[Monceau]

Monceau, my SA distinctly told me that H increased the cashmere content by 5%, so something is off ~ either what she is being told or what she is telling me.

I guess it's one of those H mysteries, Vigee! I was told the same thing as Julian F , that this was merely a relabeling because the Cashmere composition had always fallen above 65% - a rounding up on the new label, as opposed to the rounding down on the old.

I would have assumed it was different as well, and perhaps it is a different composition. Any input from those who have purchased or handled the new season GMs?

 

[Monceau]

My SM said exactly the same thing. The content is the same as always. I have no idea if this is correct or not but interesting that others heard it also.

Perhaps it's easier to print tags with a "70" instead of a "65" , lol!

 

[Monceau]

Thank you so much for taking the time to share these, as there are several designs I had not seen.
My scarf booklet usually doesn't arrive until well into the season.

Thank you so much for posting these pictures julian, they are a big help! And your SdP is really gorgeous...I saw this IRL and found it stunning.

I know you will make a good decision on Paddock Vitamina, I will anxiously await hearing your choice I am also eyeing the TP gavroche and Super H, as well as Zebra Pegasus. The gavroches do seem like quite the easy purchase now...I am in big trouble! I am also waiting to see the 70cm's that arrive, since I only have one and would like to expand my collection into yet another H realm!!

Then the label should say exactly that.

Monceau, my SA and I did a comparison test of a last season's CSGM and a F/W 15 CSGM on Thursday. No kidding, the F/W 15 CSGM felt heavier and had a sturdier hand to it ~ my SA said the same thing. What to believe?

 

[Masik]

Hello...ladies and gents... I just want to share my fall 2015 scarf. I went into the store and my nice SA pulled out this scarf. I'm not sure if another fellow TPFer already post the same CW....but this color is so soft and pretty [emoji4][emoji4]

Thanks for letting me share and Hope you guys like it.

For me it is THE scarf of the season in THE sw of the season. I haven't seen all, of course, but so far I'm not impressed with anything else.

My dear Bova, what until you see the TP gavroches in person! SOOOOOO lovely and the details are so intricate. The way HERMES PARIS is incorporated into the leaf design on the bottom right is so special...barely there but still noticeable if you know to look [it actually took me a while to find it!]. There does not seem to be a title printed within the scarf design though which is a bit of a disappointment although it won't deter me from getting one [maybe it's hidden and I just haven't found it yet!]. I use the gavroches as a neckerchief in the cooler temps, a bracelet for casual warm temps, and as a pocket square when I dress up...such a versatile format! The MaF [Super H] ones are very cool too with completely different colorways than the 70s but since I have it in a 70 I may have to pass so I can get patterns I don't have. This season is soooo difficult for me; I want so many things but my money tree has not been keeping up with demand!

The colorways of Hippopolis are all so wonderful; even more so in person! However, I have to pass since the winged, amputated foot in the lower right kind of creeps me out a bit. I am not one for random, dis-attached body parts on my scarves [I had the same problem with the hands in Serio Ludere...just ruined it for me HAHA!]
