My first degree was in Ancient History and Archaeology and I did quite a lot of digging on various sites. Not Palmyra though!
If I were you and had the money ready I would not wait. At the moment they offer free shipping and it does not say for how long they will do so. And things tend to disappear without a warning. My grail can still be ordered from the US website, but is impossible to get in Europe
Order two, try them on, send one back
Sadly, it takes me a long time to save up just enough money to buy one scarf. DH would have a complete fit if he realised the full price of even one 90cm! I am not really in the Hermès league at all. More a Marks and Spencer girl
I vote for Hippopolis because your love of history and archaeology. Next choice is L'Arbe agree with Croisette. The silkies here are amazing with their color memory. I have no clue about the number references lol. We love choosing silks though, so are delighted to help your find one HH! You look lovely in your photo dear.

The secret is to order at the beginning of the "credit card month", right after getting the bill. Then you will have the refund for the scarf you sent back on the same bill as the original charge for the two. (I hope that makes sense, not a native speaker :shame
My money tree just started growing, so I am experienced at things like that. We do not have Marks and Spencer here, but H&M. That and various sales is where my stuff comes from. And it is always a pleasure to see how a scarf turns cheap clothes into an outfit.
HermesHopeI've PMd you about the way I shop on line from Hermès, see what you think.
I get the feeling that ,unlike hardened offenders like myself , you don't go much for buying on Ebay?
I can only say it's a load of fun, and a chance for acquiring lovely pieces for a fraction of the cost , granted not form recent collections .
My two pennyworth on your choices is that I found your delicate colouring was so lovely with the lilac Escales ,and so I think I would go for the Zenobie 01 which looks so superb tied as shown by Honeylocks.
Sieste is a wonderful design but I have tried it a few times and am on the fence because somehow it didn't suit my clothes style which is similar to your own .
It seems quite a standout piece that would look good with a sharp jacket ,whereas Zenobie is so soft and feminine and will be perfect against a lovely cashmere sweater.
Bet that DH of yours will love it too!
I really like that one, but am wondering if it might be too dark for me. I am beginning to realise that lighter, fresher colours work on me best as I get older. My hair was much darker a few years ago! It is still on my list, though
Thanks for your help
I won't be able to check out the cws until I get to my computer, but did have a stray thought on the CI. It is a beautiful scarf, but many that I have seen have blanc matte, or a lovely metallic overlay in some sections. It is a fabulous way to highlight and enhance colors, but it can make the scarf stiffer to the touch. I don't know if this would make a difference to you, sometimes I really just want to feel the fabulous softness of H silk!
Just tossing this out for your consideration.
I am having a real dilemma and I wonder if you kind tPFers could help me. I will have saved up enough for a new 90cm by the beginning of December, but I am totally stuck between several choices.
I have posted pics before, so you have an idea of my colouring - sort of strawberry blond hair, green eyes, pale skin with a tendency to flush. Sorry this is a bit blurred.

My wardrobe colours are: basics - navy and browns, mainly tan; accent colours - turquoise and the aqua family, purples and lilacs, with some coral and ivory. I am phasing out black and grey as they make me look even more ill!
I spend most of my time in bed or at least sitting in the house. When I go out, I usually wear jeans with cashmere jumpers and cardigans, or t shirts. I rarely dress up.
So, I love a lot of scarves from this season and have already got two. I have to buy via UK Hermès.com as I cannot travel, so it is difficult to see the true colours of the silks.
My favourites are:
Zénobie cw 01 pale pink, dark purple, turquoise
Sieste au Paradis CW 07 honey, green, turquoise
Collections Imperials CW 16 dark slate, turquoise, brown
Arbre du Vent CW 12 blue, fuchsia, turquoise
You can see how much I love turquoise!
I also like a 70cm A la Plume CW 19 blue, green, white
Well, of course I actually love loads more!
So, I would be so grateful if you could give me your opinions as to which would suit me best. It is so hard to make the right choice on my own and I cannot afford to make a mistake. Also, if there are other CWs or scarves that you think would be better, please suggest them.
I know this is a lot to ask, but I would really appreciate your help.
All are truly beautiful choices. This season provided us all with many fabulous options...one of the best seasons in years IMO.
Of the ones you are considering I like Sieste the best for the design but L'arbre du Vent may be the best choice for you as that pop of fuchsia really would look smashing on you, I think. Collections Imperiales is my 2nd favourite pattern of this season [so much so that bought the twilly just so I could own the pattern...I try to limit to one new 90 per season] but the colorway you are considering is quite dark. Zenobie is also lovely but I feel as if that pale pink right in the center is just asking to be soiled! haha. There is quite a lot of it on this scarf.
So my vote would be for L'Arbre du Vent for you
As a side note, since you live in England, you could likely call up one of the London stores and have it shipped to you in case the website does not have it in stock come December. Don't stress too much about "losing out" since these are still current season designs.

Do greens work well for you? You remind me of spring. Like a lilac bunch, pale soft colors. Would a delicate spring green work with your coloring?
I just read almost the whole thread and found ceci's photos so I bought the cw22! yay!
But if anyone has modelling shots of the CSGM Cavaliers du Caucase cw16 (neutral/black/orange) I would be forever grateful.
Thanks xo
here we are, hope to be of some help
today I was dressed in this color, so it doesn't pop as much as with the black underneath...

This is beautiful - the neutral colours make the design so subtle but still interesting and I love the orange hem. Its gorgeous.
