Hello fellow scarfies.

I've been loving this thread and keenly following all the generous intel, reveals, surprises and of course, dilemmas!
Finally, I have something to contribute. I'd like to share a little story for those deliberating over the the Dallet CSGM.

I am Brunette with fair/medium complexion. I cannot wear creme, bronze, tan, gold, olive, ochre, mustard, bright orange, brick red or egg yellows.
Most light beiges look hideous and totally wash me out. Just as in JayJay77's earlier story, I too coveted and purchased the Couvertures et Tenues many moons ago... and the result was similar. It drained all the colour from my skin - total disaster - which was really really sad as I loved that shawl :(

Ever since it's first reveal, I have been become very twisty and crazy over this Dallet shawl - just like many of you lovely ladies! Primarily, because of the trims. I love white and it loves me, but mustard yellow is a big no-go zone. Beige is not great on me but I really really like red. Anyhow, with stock now in store and my head full of tried and tested colour theories, I headed down to H. I was so excited - I just knew that white Colourway 06 was going to be the most flattering on me of all four colourways offered. Well, when my SA brought out the shawl, my heart leapt - it truly was a dreamy creamy white - so pristine, so gorgeous. I closed my eyes and giddily cocooned myself within. I looked in the mirror and was, sadly...... aghast! Argh! I looked pale and insipid! Was it the lighting in the store? This was my dream colourway! Why wasn't it making my heart sing? No singing, no dancing... no nothing. Sadly, I knew that my dreamy creamy Dallet shawl was not coming home with me. I was at a total loss. My head was spinning in disbelief - I just couldn't put my finger on it, why didn't it work? Was it something about the tone (or the trim?). Devastated.

I looked at the other colour ways offered. I didn't want blue and I didn't want grey and... the beige... as much as I loved the red trim, I had already convinced myself that the beige wouldn't work. What to do? I am at Hermes right? Playtime! I had nothing to lose, so decided to give all the colours a whirl! Blue, then Grey... then Beige....

Woohoo! What a surprise! Colour way 07 in Beige was literally 'stunning'. Meaning that I was so stunned, I nearly fell over! I am sure my heart really did skip a beat that day. It was so flattering to my complexion and I felt so so chic :) It was the perfectly perfect neutral that I thought I could never ever have! I was in shawl heaven. This beautiful tone of beige was not too yellow and not too grey, it was just right.. and that RED trim - DEVINE!

SOLD! Happy as Larry. And still am :)

I continue to wonder if, in fact, the colour of the trims are a significant factor in how well a shawl works on one's complexion. Something to muse over. Hope my little story has helped. Thanks for letting me share!

Major congrats for this gorgeous shawl! You wear it so well. I style mine with blacks as well and love how elegant it looks. I never worried if it suits my skin. And thanks for the idea of the red casaque bracelet you inspired me to look out for a fine belt in this red.

Than you for your kind reply! I agree! This looks fabulous on black. That's one of the major benefits of this shawl - not all colours can look so chic on a black background. I have a feeling I will be wearing this shawl often in Winter :) Happy to I could help with the RED inspiration too!

I believe we are twins on the lovely HAC 32 chèvre de coromandel phw, a bag you don't see around much! And this shawl is just icing on the cake. Which pic would you say is the most accurate of the colourway? I am not a fan of red but a red hem is a possibility.

Hello Twin! Thank you. I concur. The shawl is a perfect match to our etoupe 'kids'. I feel so blessed to own this rare Etoupe CDC Hac - she brings my such joy to my life. Regarding the depiction of the beige colourway, I just took the shawl out again, and bearing in mind that all pc's are colour calibrated slightly differently, I would say that PIC 2 is the most ACCURATE depiction. The other images seem a little lighter now I cross reference them back to the actual shawl. The beige has some depth to the colour, which is perhaps why it doesn't wash me out. It is not grey, nor tan, perhaps more like natural linen but without any green undertones. I'm not a fan of red as a feature colour, but quite like red in very small doses as an accent colour to a neutral palette. This particular shade of red seems to add some gravitas which could be lacking if it were trimmed in neutral hue. Hope that helps :)

Buxus, perhaps we could call your new shawl taupe...which is very flattering on some brunettes.

Nice idea :) But I think the colour taupe might give the wrong impression. (You are absolutely right though, taupe coloured scarves do work well with my complexion.) Unfortunately this shawl is nowhere near as deep as a true taupe. it really is a natural oatmeal colour, but with just a little more depth. Confused? So sorry, my attempts to describe the colour are failing me..... the second pic is most true to life in terms of colour, thx

Most helpful indeed, thank you and please wear the delightful shawl in good health and joy. My etoupe HAC and her fraternal twin black CdC HAC32 ghw are my absolute beloved horse bags.
