Pictures of the Robe du Soir! (cw 18, menthe/marine/encre/blanc )

In my bedroom, directly under the light fixture, box corner left in for color calibration:

See? Closeup:

The section that includes the circles is "navy". Reminder, here is the photo on h.com:

Ok, here is where it gets interesting. I took it to the window (grey day but natural light) and to my eyes it looked the same, maybe a little more contrast, but here is what the camera saw:

Look, I don't think I'm color-blind, but I swear that is not what it looks like in real life, even in natural light.

I'm contemplating if I need a black/black-to-the-visible-eye scarf. I am dubious.

ETA: I must admit, the lighting in my bedroom is apparently way off natural light, as you can see from the whites. I will think about my light bulbs.

Whoa, I see what you mean, and given the H. com picture, I would have been disappointed too. It's too bad the image is so misleading, though I guess I'm not sure what I would do if I needed to create an image that told people there was blue in the scarf and where.

Though I will say that I can see usefulness in such a CW. All those times I'm holding something up to the window, trying to figure out if it's black or navy? Well, with this scarf, it wouldn't matter -- the scarf works with both (right? or is it not dark enough to work with black?), so one could throw it on and sally forth. The more I think about it, and the more I look at those silvery braidy parts, the more it starts to look like a beautiful, understated and practical piece. If black-or-navy-I-don't-know-who-cares isn't a niche you need to fill, it may underwhelm, but I confess I am now mulling it over. It might save me some time on a few mornings. . . .

I have always left the care tags on my scarves( unless they started falling off). But, with the moussies in particular I am definitely thinking of removing them this season. Besides being unsightly, I worry about them catching on something and damaging the moussie. I will keep the tag separately.

Absolutely gorgeous, scarf!


Thank you, papertiger'

Thank you croisette!

Scarf mail today! I managed to order this from h.com during the few hours it was available.
The Savana Dance mousseline stole, CW 3 quetsche/ rose bonbon/ turquoise/ciel.
Yes, it has same giant label as the 90s.
Despite all the pastels this season, this has deeper colors. It has a bit more orange( but dark) than I expected. One pleasant surprise was that the leopard is beautiful blues, the monkey a charcoal black. The h.com pix do not show that part of the design! A very happy, summery CW. The pink is a very pretty deep pink.
Goes with turquoise, cornflower Blue, navy, black, cream, white.

Hopefully, I will enable someone, LOL!View attachment 3943762 View attachment 3943763

Initially, that was the hope, understated, elegant etc but the 'rope' part just isn't strong enough for me and in this cw the rope is all there is.

I probably won't risk it myself (not without seeing it in a boutique, anyway, which won't happen anytime soon). There's a fine line--a very individual, context-dependent line--between "understated" and "what's the point?"

I'd still look at the black/navy/white in the pareo version. There is also a more warm cw in the Pareo that may work well too.

It's turning out to be a very surprising season. So far I've bought a cw of JQ of I'd never even considered and surrendered my most certain cw/design combo.

Just goes to show, it's so much better to see scarves in person if you can.

Thank you papertiger for posting the pareo....it's a lovely pattern and colourway and will be a cousin to my Mythiques Pareo.

That's version with the fine rope-work is the seasonal pareo under Women > Beach and Sport > Pareo not to be confused with Home > Beach > Pareo > Robe du Soir on the Euro site that just has thick white or black lines where the rope would be

Dear birkinmary, I love to see that you are posting here on tPF now and then and share with us things from your beautiful Hermès collection.
You know so well how to compose and use different colours. This yellow together with the rich red tones is exquisite and joyful.
Your pictures are always eye candy!

I agree with all you've said, and feel exactly the same of your posts! I miss seeing your your gorgeous and elegant contributions, Holsby!

Oh, that's really pretty. Too bad it's US-only, and... it's tough to spend that much on cotton.

I think I'll return the 90 Saturday and look at some of the other pieces. And I did get a couple of adorable twillies (Jeux des Cartes in red and blue) I will photo soon. Twillies are new to me, what fun!

This looks beautiful on you! I agree that this was made for you!!! (With this season's scarves, I have carefully clipped all of the tags off as well. It's too hard to hide the care tag and prevents the use of that one corner. That is the extent of surgery that I can do, and thankfully, no hems have been harmed in the process.)

Thank you Ladybaga!!!

 

[Pautinka]

This is LOVELY! I feel enabled! [emoji2]

Gorgeous!

 

[Pautinka]

You look radiant in this cw, pautinka! Just gorgeous. I love this design but all the cws seem to wash me out. The exception is the dark burgundy with green and orange. But in that I feel the colors are too intense for the delicate design. It totally overpowers it. I wish they offered a few more options...

Thanks Joannadyne. I know what you mean. That's one of the reasons I went for the more muted cw - it seemed to my mind to suit the design. I am sure your cw will be out there somewhere, I cannot believe many colours would wash you out!!!

 

[Julide]

You are too kind, Moma! Next time I’m at a store I will try on some “wash-me-out!” cws and take some pics just for you. [emoji12]
Is there a particular cw of Favolosa you’re considering? This is the one I was talking about - the colors are gorgeous but it’s too bold - you can’t see practically any elements of the design.

ETA: At second glance, maybe that’s just because of the way I tied it... will have to look at it again.

BUT - this is the same cw as the Sea Surf and Fun one.

And although Im chomping at the bit to see it, Modernisme Tropical 140 comes in a similar cw too.

Agree with BBC and others about why H would make all the cws so homogenized. This season’s designs are almost all hits, but color is equally important. Whoever made that decision should be flogged with a wet noodle. Or made to wear all the similar cws and forced to guess which is which while hooked up to a machine that gives ‘em a slight shock every time they get an answer wrong. Heh heh.

What imagery!
