Dear lanit, thanks for sharing your wonderful collection of Asian themed scarves with us. I especially love your Soies Volantes! And congratulations on your new blue Bateaux!
Thx for your advice & compliments , LB! The fleur de Indiennes I saw was the 140 silk. As I mentioned before, I really have reservations wearing a long flowing scarf in the crowded subway. But it is too beautiful to pass. Still losing sleep over it. Wondering if H would issue it in the 90 format in the near future. If so, would buy it at a heartbeat!Hi D!
You are collecting BEAUTIFUL scarves that you will cherish for years to come! It really is fun seeing which new beauties the seasons bring! I love everything you have posted! You are off to an amazing start.
Is the Fleurs de Indiennes a 140cm silk or the 90cm? I bought my 90cm version two years ago, so if you do find a 90cm of this in your boutique, you should try it on. It's an incredible pattern. A bit busy, but I like busy!The colorway of mine is variations of green/turquoise with ultra violet background. It is one of my very favorites. I wish I had picked up the khaki version as well. (MaiTai has this one on her blog. Gorgeous.) I also missed out on the 140cm which came out a full year ago. A/W 2011, I think. Several of our lovely tpf members have this. Off of the top of my head, I know that textilegilr and lanit have the 140. I remember that there was a beautiful red/yellow one and also a blue/green one. It is a tad bit heavier in weight than the summer silk twill. I believe this 140 is called washed silk.
If you have found a FdI, I would say YES. You won't regret it.Since this pattern was a new design, it may not be reissued for some time. It would be great if it was since it really was a good selling design. I wonder if it will ever be issued as a GM cashmere/silk shawl or heaven help me, a 140 mousseline. I would be jumping for joy over that!
Lol sparkle!!
I'm glad I can still look "fun and young" . Age is nothing but a number right? awww...thank you Sparklelisab !
We are on same page LOL
Maedi, Ladybaga, Seton, IF and Lanit - thank you for your kind words !
IF - your two Marwari GM's are TDF !
I know... We're crazy right? I won't think twice about an H anything, be it scarf, shawl, bracelets, bag... But would think real hard about making a purchase in that amount for anything else! Lol
Gotta give the credit for Red Dot Boutique to our dear, jp. I am calling Target that now as well! Sweetest Sparkle, I am sorry you are fluin'. Please stay in bed, rest, and eat some jello. Hope you feel better, soon!
And I must credit my co-worker/friend... Her and her friends call it that.
. I've always said "Tar-gét" (like filet) until now
Dear Hermesick, you look lovely in your blue CSMC! Congratulations on adding a blue beauty to your collection.
Fun? Heck, no. That was work, yo. Dont know how u do it, pierina. :worthy:
Youre right about colors being less natural. The last reissue of Sichuan in 2010 was pretty nice but u still can see the difference if u compare the original black colorway in 1995 to the 2010 black cw.
I'll post both below.

What color is the 140? (Just curious) In all seriousness, you should do what your heart tells you to do. If you are having reservations, perhaps you should pass. On the other hand, if you wear your Equator a lot and love the size, it would be a lovely addition to your collection. Sorry I am of no help!
seton, I love the differences in your two Sichuan scarves! (My fave, I have to say if your 1995 version. Those colors sparkle!)
Dear Israeli_Flava, thanks for sharing your wonderful collection with us. I especially love your pink Ex-Libris En Kimonos!
seton, I love the differences in your two Sichuan scarves! (My fave, I have to say if your 1995 version. Those colors sparkle!)
thx Baga but I only have the 1995 version.
I just posted the 2 pics for comparison.
Sending 'get well soon' wishes, sparkle! I prescribe lots of chicken soup, hot liquids, and lots of time on tpf!
thx Baga but I only have the 1995 version.
You've got yourself a winner!
A lot of times we newbies just don't know what questions to ask in our decision-making process. Your mention of the frequency of use just helped me decide. Suddenly I also remember u mentioned in your posts that u wouldn't be wearing scarves if it rains! So what do u think my frequency of wear would be when it rains VERY regularly from Mar to Oct. in the sub-tropics where I live? And NONE of my umbrellas are big enough to shade my 140 scarf which practically runs down to my knees!
It was a very pretty cw, but I didn't know the cw number. I guess I would pass it this time & pray to God that it would be reissued as a 90. As a side remark, I am not wearing my Equateur a lot as this is my most expensive scarf to date & I will take it out only for special occasions, eg the comimg Chinese New Year celebrations! Thx for your advice which helps me made my final decision. No more sleepless nights!
