I’m so happy that I only like 1 single item so far so I don’t have to worry about the shrinking space in my scarf drawer. H, feel free to continue the crazy or uninspired colorways, deteriorating quality and lost complexity combined with higher price points - this may just be a great way out of my H addiction :smile:
But what’s the one that’s caught your eye?

I stopped in at Madison Ave. and they had gotten some of the SS20 scarves. I apologize in advance for not getting pics of tags; was just trying to snap a couple pics as The scarves were displayed.

Etriers - this was a gorgeous light purple with turquoise.

They are starting to trickle in

Do you think that the Etriers in the message above could be cw 04?

Here is how cw 04 looks on the website:

It seems hard to believe there is that big a difference- but maybe it’s the store lighting (or I’m colorblind!). Sorry I didn’t get a pic of the tag. I took 2 similar pics & both show a purplish tone I think. I’ll be curious to see once someone purchases and models!

I know how you feel, especially about price increase and I also find the colour family malarkey a turn off , but I don’t see a decline in quality nor complexity.
My most favourite scarf was from last season , Acte 111; it’s very complex and everything is perfect as regards silk, hem etc . I don’t see much change in cashmere quality either.

look at this hem.. It‘s not disturbing me enough to return it but I would expect better for 450 swissies... and another girl on IG had actual tiny blotches of paint all over her design (kachinas wash) - makes you wonder where quality control is...
then there is the issue of the backside not being as saturated anymore. I also feel like many colorways have less colors (eg the red blue giraffe scarf) which is what i mean by reduced complexity. I agree that acte III was an exception to that, so was cosmo and it’s definitely not all the scarves. others say that the cashmeres used to be thicker and less pilly- which I can’t comment on because I have just recently started. also - look at the moussies this season. the colorways are uber simple... IDK - this is just my opinion but i don’t like the trend I‘m seeing and I will be extra careful examining my silks before purchase going forward

I agree with so much of what you state here. The CWs are especially bothering me with the new season scarves, making it almost impossible to choose. I mean, where is black? Why has black been replaced by brown everywhere? Ugghh! And, quality is questionable as well. I remember the issue with your hems recently and that is unacceptable.

Agree... The color family issue is malarkey, indeed. And, I must agree with you about Acte III... truly a wonderful design, but that was from Fall/Winter 2018

Ok, just as I commented about that faulty hem, you posted about it.... Ugghh! I agree with everything you state in this post.

I know it looks a priori unlikely, but what puzzles me is that the colors used for the stirrups are the same as in CW4....
Wait and see...
