Don't you hate that? I am still sulking over the perfect Chanel black jacket that I had in my cart and was buying when the credit card number was off by one digit and someone else stole it out from under me. It was so painful. And then to add to the pain I got an email two weeks later that the person had returned it and it was available again but someone had already beaten me to it a second time.

It's definitely annoying! There are many things I love about online shopping, but this is certainly one of its more irritating drawbacks.

Just to hopefully help you, poupishop seems to often have Reve de Corail in different colors. I would know this because I like it myself, so I note it when I see it. She's got some right now. A blue one and the sepia you like, for a darned good price!:

My experience with her has been great.

i know, i know, I am an evil enabler and I must be destroyed. :devil:

ETA: ohhh, they're different actually. I like the little hit of coral in the poupishop one, but they're different...

Aaaaand it's sold. I had it in my cart and hesitated for maybe 60 seconds but someone beat me to it.

I am sorry. It always sucks to lose a purchase but I also think you probably hesitated because this scarf was not the right one for you. Also, I have to confess it was me [emoji17]

I was actually out to brunch with a girlfriend and had to stop mid conversation as soon as I got the email alert from anns just to buy this. I have the c'est la fete in gray but have been searching for mr. prune boots skeleton for years. I think this cw makes it look very multidimensional and I like the pop accent. I actually ordered it online but back then the website mixed up the cws and sent me the one with the prune background. While that was lovely, I did not want it and sent it back. And unfortunately the one I wanted was such a popular cw that I was never able to find it.

This has been a busy acquisition week with luckily finding three scarves that I have been hunting for years - mr prune boots, the white Pegase d'hermes, and a red Quai Aux Fleur. I am very content with my current collection and will probably be adding only one or two scarves a year now. Sending lots of good karma to all of you who still have a long list of grails. It will eventually happen!

I am happy it went to a tPFer! You are right, I hesitated because I wasn't sure the colorway was right for me. I also have this scarf in other colorways (including the mostly prune one) and am trying to slow down my crazy scarf acquisitions.

Wear it in good health and please post a photo when you get it! :smile1:

Oddly, I can't seem to find a pic but it's the one below (stock photo). The ribbon is bright blue (that seems to have a purple-ish overtone to me IRL, but maybe it's the pink surround which makes it look that way).

There was also a mainly orange version also has pink (as well as turquoise, yellow and other colours) within it and as the buldoc ribbon. Also a lovely bright, H-appy scarf.

BTW, my 70s and gav choices are notably different to my carres (maybe with the exception of Clic Clac a Pois 70). More 'fun' gamine, more Summer (when I tend to wear these sizes). Perhaps that's why I left the black J'AmC behind, of course now I wish I hadn't because I know I would have worn it much more than the pink, but you know some days only the 'crazy-bright' scarf will do and when reaching for that, the pink cw is perfect, blame it completely on that bright blue buldoc :D

I am your twin - I love this scarf. It's just so much fun to wear!
