I have to imagine it will be cut out of a square piece anyway, since it would be very hard to weave a round piece of fabric. In that case, they are starting with the same amount of fabric as a regular silk 140, so I have to imagine it will be at least the same cost. Add to that the fact that it is a special design and probably harder to hem, and I anticipate it to be more expensive than a regular 140.

I imagine the cost will also reflect the need to create a unique box to house the unique way a round scarf is folded.
 
Yup, every time I see that moon I fall in love with it more!
I agree....I just think the graphics on that round scarf are incredibly beautiful, leaving aside that it’s a scarf....I would love to know who the artist is, it has a real Renaissance feel to it like a Da Vinci or a Michelangelo etching...that’s one I’d frame and hang on a wall.....

All your photos are sooooooo helpful and appreciated Fifi!
I’m so glad my friend provided them for me to share!

Thank you to you and your friend Fifi. Wow, Clair de Lune is something else when viewed like that. Wonderful.
My pleasure! CdL so unique... I am very intrigued... My friend was so thoughtful to share his pics!

Fascinating level of detail but I'm just not sure. Looks more like a photograph to my mind. Needs to be seen in the flesh, I guess, as always!!!!
I agree... Almost looks like a photo! Can’t wait to see this one in the flesh!
 
So sad when we hope for only 1.5:lol:

As much as I really want the ClaF in 90cm.. It'll be difficult for me to justify if the price is significantly more than standard 90cm silk. Not trying to turn this into a pricing debate, but still...

Feels like yesterday:

Round scarves can be easily folded into squares, so they might not need a special box. When they did the heart-shaped boxes, I was told some customers gave up re-folding and just kept the scarf separate from the novelty box.

I'm really hopeful that my wallet is safe... so far nothing sings to me. I find Alice shirley's designs have become a bit more like portraits of animals and less like worlds (such as in under the waves, canadian wild or jardin anglais - the latter 2 are still elusive to me). I prefer her "world" designs - even though I have to admit the animals are always super cute.
I also find that for the theme "innovation" they are very un-innovative on their colorways. The blue-red again? it's great for those of you that love that high contrast colorway but for me it doesn't work at all.
finally on formats. I'm not innovative enough for a round scarf and I am very fearful of the pricepoints of the double-sided ones.
but of course I hope that everyone else finds treasures that make your hearts sing, i just think by what i've seen it'll be a light one for me..
 
Do we know when the new designs will hit the stores / online shops? I tend to forget that each season and thought it'd be Nov 15th, but so far: no intel yet.

According to my SA earlier than usual in the UK. Mentioning before Christmas.

I take all info with a pinch of salt and didn't comment at the time, just took note. Usually, there's this big fuss over waiting until after the inevitable price increase in Jan so I was surprised.

I think you are in Germany(?) so it could be earlier for you too. As I said, this news raised my cynical eyebrow so he may have been wrong, but he is also one of the very clued-up members of the NBS team.

My Manchester SA was very definite - no SS20 scarves on sale until New Year's Day but he also seemed to think that there would be a few available by then when often there is the tiniest dribble of stock for months before the season gets going.
