This is such a useful pic though for me thanks BBC.I have to say i love the middle row!
The samourai cws have not been as exciting as the silks for sure and the high expectations dont help! But i still am hopeful.... waiting to try them in the store or modelling pics here.... which are alot more useful/prettier than the way H photographs them!![]()
(Better with the pic)
Yes, some of these are really pretty - just really repetitive!
I wanted to add:
Red-green-pink-blue. Red-green-pink-yellow. Pink-green-red-yellow
Aqua-yellow-gray-blue. Aqua-green-pink-blue. Blue-aqua-tan-gray
Yellow-gold-tan-peach Yellow-green-tan-peach Peach-orange-tan-yellow

My wallet is happy. I will not buy more than 2 or 3 CWThank you for posting this.There’s basically 1) red/green, 2) blue, or 3)peach/yellow. There isn’t much variation in each of the groups.
The design is irresistible, but the colors could be better.

Yes!!! Exactly. You posted your last post as I was typing!!
This is very good to know. I'll have to try it on IRL to see what I think.I have this 140 and in real life is it a very dark blue ( Bleu noir) on a light grey background. There is no black or white/ cream. I feel the new cashmere mix material is thinner and DH who has and wears his own H cashmere agrees. Sad.
Yes, I want the JG, and the della cavalleria enamels, so, I have to be a good girl with scarves. I'm not crazy about PdS CSGM, so more funds for enamels.2 or 3 colorways!! LOL!!
And I’ll have more funds to get the matching enamel!!![]()
It depends on the years. If we're talking pre-1999 or so, the colors were more traditional, old-style. I feel a change happened around 98 or 99, with prettier and more modern colorways. There were a few years with a genuinely nice mix of colorways - something for everyone, not a lot of repeats across designs, very wearable. Pretty!!!Mid to late 2000s (06? 07?) we saw brighter colorways - I think this was in part due to greater worldwide expansion and trying to appeal more to non-Western tastes. Around the same time or a year or two later there were issues with poorer quality cashmere (despite the official line, it lasted a few seasons and still now, as good as the cashmere is, it is NOT the same).
I am NOT a fan of multiple repeat colorways across designs, nor this odd heathered-gray-non-color-textured background as a color substitute. Once or twice a season, maybe, but what it says to me is that either this new cashmere formulation takes color worse than previously, or they really need new coloreuses (hey, I'm available!!!). I understand your considerations such as functional, seasonal color palette, matching the leathers, but please just give us a few genuinely pretty options! It's clear what gets universally admired - we always let you know what we want - do more of that!!! Change just for change's sake shouldn't be the goal. Expand color options for more tastes, yes, but don't forget those who are already your customers....I just find it frustrating that I am here looking to buy these expensive CSGMs, and I'm having problems finding any that appeal to me.
Sorry. My apologies. Rant over. Still hoping for a Samorai and/or JQ GM that I can wear.

Please, could you make a pic of the whole JQ ?There's only one thing that I know that arrives in silver packaging....

Couple o mod shots. I think the pink side looks the best on me (unexpected). So I may exchange this one for a different color.

And Jaguar Quetzal. CW 01 (vert/rose/camel) richer and darker IRL than the stock pics of the silk but the tones themselves are fairly accurate. The body stripes and spots are very dark grey, not black.
