Very elegant, this is one that caught my eye too. You've done so well this season, I haven't got off the starting blocks yet :rolleyes:

Twins!! I just picked this up the other day as well! :). I also didn't think I'd like this green..was leaning towards the terracotta color (like in scarf book), but this one was just so "brightening" I couldn't pass it up either..and SA thought this was so much "brighter" on me (my face) as well. :). Can't wait for your mod pics :)

I've been waiting all season for the Quadrige DD GM scarves to appear, and they finally arrived during my trip last week that brought me in range of an H boutique. I thought I wasn't interested in the greenish one because greens are very hard for me to get right. But I was wrong! The colors of this scarf are Vert Gris/Amande/Vert Vif, and putting it around my neck immediately garnered enthusiasm from my partner and the SA about how it drew out my eyes, which move between blue and green.

I'm hopeless describing colors, so the best way to describe this color is to compare it to one of my favorite nail polishes: Chanel Nouvelle Vague from a few summers ago. It's almost a perfect match (NV being a bit lighter). I recommend looking up the color of the nail polish on the web to see the exact color (I don't have time right now to color correct iPhone images).

I photographed the scarf against it and an Isthme in Bleu Azteque to show the blue aqua dimension further. The lighter green is clear and summery. The darker green is grey and works wonderfully with black, grey and taupe wardrobe pieces.

Hope this helps anyone looking at this colorway on the web.

Congrats, and bless you! You are a gem to post this beauty - my interest in this had waned somewhat because of the less than flattering pic on the website. I imagine this is gorgeous on you, and I'm eager to see an action shot!

This Quadrige DD GM is lovely and so Spring/Summer!
Thanks for the great pics and the nail polish match-up.
I think Chanel has a similar polish color out this year, too.
Major congrats on a beautiful GM.

Thank you, VigeeLeBrun, kittyHawk, Textilegirl, Lanit, pepsimax, jp_536, Ladybaga, Maedi, and Hopiko. Yes, it is wonderful to have a very new color within the wardrobe. It seems a long time coming since Nouvelle Vague is my "happy" polish—why ever didn't I try to find a scarf like it before?

Love being Twins with you, JP! I was of the same intent as you—I wanted the bronze DD, too. The SA and MP, however, told me this one was much better. And it is!

Thankfully I took it on a trip yesterday. What started off as a photography adventure ended up as a night in the Frank Lloyd Wright hotel a few hours away. I had nothing but jeans, t-shirt, and this scarf! So . . . I did what any resourceful woman would. I used the scarf for a top. MP was thrilled. :D
