After having lots of fun browsing the new collection in the boutique this Saturday, I ended up leaving with a 90cm Robe de Soir. The next morning, I found I couldn't stop thinking about the Samourais shawl in cw06, and marched back in to collect one of those too. I love how @Langsam described it as "moonlit glow." What made this colorway irresistible to me is the way that the cherry blossoms are rendered-- they remind me of seeing cherry blossoms at twilight along the river in Tokyo.

I find this colorway frustrating to photograph; in my pictures it looks flat and somewhat dull. It's neither in real life! Other TPFers have done it much more justice, but I add a couple photos anyway just because I love to see as many different tying possibilities as I can when I'm using this thread to plot purchases :cool:

The Robe du Soir 90cm ties so beautifully, and I love this coloration with its mixture of blues, slate grey, taupe, pops of white, and a caramel hem. However, it might not be a keeper for me. @frou frou mentioned upthread that some scarves from recent years aren't saturated on the back, and this is one of them. I find the "blank" back irritating; it means I have to fuss with my scarf more than I'd like to prevent the luminous front side from being abruptly interrupted by its matte white reverse. I know from experience that the way I tie my scarves means I won't pick up scarves that aren't saturated on the reverse. Exhibits A and B in the form of two colorways of the Samourais 90cm are sitting in my closet as evidence, having never made it out of their boxes because of their unsaturated reverses. So I had better be stern with myself and not accumulate a third such scarf just to have it gather dust!

But it's a gorgeous colorway and someone who ties differently will loooooove it. :smile:

Hi everyone, my thoughts on Samourai cw10 : it is rather muted in person. The mauve/parme are lovely and the ‘yellow’ in the stock photo is actually sauge. IMO it is a soft neutral colourway and to a purple lover like me, it is very pretty. Cw05 and 07 were also available at the same time. In comparison, 07 is bright and 05 is darker but all are beautiful. Personally, I think 05 is probably universally the most popular to many in terms of wearability.

And yes, I will be getting cw 10 (leans cool) and 05 (leans warm). :smile:

do you have any modeling pics with CW10? hasn’t arrived here yet either and I‘m curious to see how that sauge actually looks

Thank you frou frou! You are so sweet to remember my coat and JQ (actually a 90 but I wish I could also get the CSGM in this!) I am excited to wear Samurai 06 next week, so I will be sure to post a pic. I can't wait to see your mod pics, too. You always look so beautiful in yours.

Congratulations on your 06!! We are in a great family of fellow scarfies who have this beauty! I am sad about the Robe scarf not having a saturated back. This looks amazing on you, but that would be nerve wracking to try to keep the scarf from flipping over to the back. Seems like you would only be able to wear it a couple of ways. (Cowboy/ascot type knots or a traditional diagonal fold tied with tails in front.) These beauties are too expensive to be limited on ways to wear them. (I went back to your gorgeous pics! The ways you tied this look so pretty. Since the front is a lighter colorway, is it noticeable that the back isn't saturated? Not trying to enable you but it really is pretty.......)

I am thinking of Robe de soir in cw 3, the hot pink version as a head scarf for the summer, and also because I don't have a pink scarf yet.. your thoughts?

You would look amazing in a hot pink scarf! You have the most beautiful eyes. I think it would look fabulous! You had me at hot pink.....I love that color and bought the Sun, Sea, and Fun (I think that's the name...) in pinks, green, and blue.
