Aw, but that latte contrast hem. I think it is a keeper with your coloring and elegant style. The lighter saturation isn't a big deal imo.Ladies, thanks for all your sweet compliments and likes on my new blues. You've all encouraged me to think very hard indeed before I give up on Robe du Soir!
Of course, here's the hang tag! I should have posted it in my original message. Do let me know how you get on with it....

Ladybaga, thanks for your kind and encouraging comments! Honestly I've been puzzled myself as to why I find the pale back so noticeable when, as you rightly note, the front is pale (especially in one corner) as well.All I can guess is that my eye is drawn to the contrast between the shiny front side and the matte back side. I'd almost prefer the reverse to be stark white than to have the ghost of the pattern without it fully coming through; somehow that would look more deliberate and seamless to me than this middle-ground saturation level. But what I'd REALLY love is for the back to be almost indistinguishable from the front, like it is on this ELenK, which I'm putting in here just to give an illustration for any new collectors dropping in who might be puzzled over what I'm fretting over with the gorgeous Robe scarf.

Hehe! Thank you so much! [emoji170][emoji170]Currently obsessed with Ms. BE! I may end up spamming my page with pics of my new baby K[emoji28]
Thank you. That’s funny [emoji1]but I have to admit that I would be scared to wear a scarf with a spider on it.
Stunning cw and very elegant. Major congrats
The problem is once seen, it's hard to un-see. The Samurais 90s also show this trait, and although some of the older scarves exhibit fainter contrast between sides, IMO it has never been as pronounced as the last 3 seasons. My Samurai is pale so the contrast is not significant (when I bought it I thought it was because it was so pale that is wasn't coming through). I think Hermes should re-think their production processes if this happens so markedly.
Last season there were marked anomalies of colour between various batches of a silk 140s of the same cw. Again, not acceptable.
I think I'm the least 'picky' person on planet H
Here is the Della Cavalleria and the tie-pin that is shown with it. I found and saved these pics a few weeks ago.
I will try to take photos of the entire booklet later today, for those that haven’t seen it yet.

Thank you kindly , it's always such fun sharing a new piece on this thread.
Love this look, thanks for sharing it! I definitely want to see the tie clip in person.
I haven’t been getting the books in the mail for the past couple years— I think because my local customer profile shows my address as... the Hermes store. I mean, I probably do appear to live there sometimes, but....

They must see us in the morning and sigh coz they know we're going to be there 'till it's closing time.
Shame I can't see this on the Euro site, would be nice to remember how much it was. I think it was comparable to the men's ties (although I don't think as much work is in them TBH, esp considering they're not lined)
