Dear rachelkitty,
This is my standout fave carré of the season and I love both those c/ws (as well as most the c/ws I've seen on h.com plus 06 that cavalla uncovered!)
I wore the 04 yesterday with a very dark blue top and blue capri pants (and the navy Ilana espadrilles-woohoo) and tied it in band + a simple knot - which is not one of your beautiful mod shots. I am very glad for having picked this c/w first, thanks to the lovely tPFer who first modeled it on this thread.
Now about you, what color clothing do you love to wear? If you do wear lots of neutral classic colors, then you can't go wrong with either 03 or 04. For warmish weather if you prefer lighter color clothes, perhaps the 03 though. I can really see both 03 & 04 working with LOTS of clothes though!!!

Hi BJS, which cw of Balade de Berline was attractive to you? I'm very tempted by the all-blues one but I'm really trying to emulate the discipline of everyone here. :amuse:

I was there this week as well BJS, and agree, not much to choose from at all! However, I totally agree with you about Grrrr....I just quickly tried on the dark blue on display, and it ties like a dream, plus i'm a sucker for polka dots, and when tying they pop on this design. I wish I had looked at the gavroches... Balade en Berline sounds like it is worth a closer look :smile:

Colorway 17 [turquoise/vermilion/saffron - Ref. : H892919S 17] was my fave. I wear the gavroches both on my neck and in the pockets of blazers so find them quite versatile in general but this c/w really allowed various looks depending on what corner one chose to feature.

Boo. That stinks. I hope they have something in New York for us to buy. This is definitely worse than last year. I remember that everything was out except the blue cavalleria d'etriers shawl, which I thought was taking forever. It finally arrived for me to pick up on my anniversary at the end of August last year. This year we have hardly seen any of the new designs or colorways in the store. The French need to work harder and stop striking. [emoji849]

I think they are used to us. If they are going to create and foster the addiction they are just going to have to tolerate our obsessive behavior. [emoji23]

It's been a whole lot of nothing in NY lately, shipments are coming in but no new silk/cashmere at all!

After going for the thousandth time on Monday and perhaps reminding my favorite SA about my much-sought-after Kachinas she looked me right in the eye and said, "Yes. I know. EVERYONE here knows you want that one!" [emoji51] (Who, me? Did I tell every single SA individually? Possibly? [emoji848])

The Madison Avenue store has a bunch of the fall scarves. The cabinets are full. It is a complete danger zone in there right now, wallet-wise!

They got a big shipment last week but no Kachinas. They have CSGMs in a bunch of CWs in the Dallet scarf and several CWs of Le Mors a la Connetable though. I tried them both on but after my binges on Grrrr and C'est la Fete on the men's side I cannot let myself buy any more. For now. :smile:

Hmmmph! Well I hope she was just joking. Seriously, they seem as frustrated as we are.

Yippee! They will at least have something at Madison for us to consider.

Dear scarfies, I need some serious help! I'm torn between ABDM CW 03 and CW 04!

CW 03 (beige/orange/green) has more contrast, stark contrast of bright orange and beige and brown. Looks like a different scarf wearing them with different corners in the front. The most genius of design is the last look below, where you can accentuate the orange in the middle where the tie is. I didn't realize it until I made that knot and it dawned on me!

CW 04 (petrol/navy/etoupe) is more all over neutral, less contrast, blend of the petrol and navy color. Beautiful dark jewel tones (I feel like they are deep sapphire and emerald) colors around face. Except the plants corner, all three other corners look more or less the same though, almost all solid colors. No special effect with a different color tie on this one. Just the beautiful etoupe leaves.

Which one do you like more? Which one would I get most wear of out of the entire year in a warmish weather? Which one is a better throw-on and you are ready to go?

I need a lot persuasion on this one! Can only keep one... Thank you in advance!

I'm always drawn to blue but I think the beige-orange looks fabulous on you; you can wear brights and the design really comes through in that CW. Enjoy which ever one you choose :smile:

They are both lovely. The light colors pose challenges for me as I fear staining them. You have tied them so well - love the creative effects!!

Sorry, I made her sound rude! She's awesome, it was more like calling me out - I've been working with these ladies for a long time, we can definitely joke with each other. My SAs are not formal with me at all - we are very much peers - lots of hugs and laughs, they know my kids, my taste, my mom, and when I had a family "crisis" last spring the first person I went to was actually the SM who I knew had dealt with a similar issue. They can call me on my H craziness!

This is really so cute!! :heart: Would love to see it tied... If you would find the time... :hbeat:

Oh, I'm sorry Sammy! It didn't come home with me. :sad: I saw it in the drawer and thought, we haven't seen this cw yet, so I made sure to take a pic, but I wish I would have thought to take a picture of it tied. And too funny, my SA made sure to tell me that the creature next to the sled is a reindeer, not a horse. :giggle:
