Thank you. It wasn't meant to be.
Whenever this happens ultimately a better one ( condition or price) comes along.
Patience, right?
Perhaps our lurking resellers will decide to list one in the near future. ��

Just to further your "education", :D (listen to me, like I know so much.) But I do know this. If the one you missed was the myscarfrings listing, she (and for that matter Framboise4055 as well) are exceedingly honest about condition. In my experiences with them (multiple) the scarf arrives in better shape than I expected. That said, I don't blame you at all for hesitating on a used scarf for $500, even if it is MP. I paid just slightly over that, and mine was used as well, with a tiny practically invisible pull. Another friend paid considerably over $500 for a "like new." As in over $600. So there you have it for comparison purposes in the future.

Yes in my experience myscarfrings errs on the side of describing things as worse than they are. They are always in better than described condition. I have purchased 4 or 5 times from her. She is one of my favorite sellers. I didn't buy my mythiques Phoenix from her. I paid 525. I think that's about the going price.

So excited for you, arabesques, it found the perfect home with you! You wear these so beautifully. I'm remembering a pic of you wearing one with a pair of light colored, embroidered pants, gorgeous and ethereal! :love: Would love to hear a bit more about them, and when they were released. I think you mentioned previously that they were made in India?

Thank you, etoile de mer. Ethereal is the perfect word to capture this weave. Yes, they are made in India. Jamdani is the name of a special weaving and embroidery process that's extremely difficult and coveted. I was thrilled when learning Hermès had produced some. While less ornate in the embroidery than I would like to own someday, its quality is stunning. In an era of machine man fabrics, I'm not sure the expertise of the woven elements is visible by many, but if understood, it can blow one away.

How airy and lovely !
I had never heard of Jamdhani so thank you for showing it to us , what a find.
I can't see any similarity with this and the Brazil Bandhini , is it the type of weave ?

You might be interested to know that the Jamdani is from Year of India! It was a special set of pieces made, I'm imagining, to celebrate one of the most challenging weaving traditions.

It isn't meant to be anything like bandhani/shibori (the latter is the Japanese term, which is what Hermès uses, despite the work being done in India—perhaps because the Hindi term is so close to bandana). Bandhani is a tie-dye process. Jamdani is a weaving process. Very different.

Thank you for dispelling my confusion , I somehow : India, Japan and Brazil were all whirling around in my conception of these pieces and now I see the light!
It is a really exceptional piece and I can see why you have multiples .The dark blue contrast on this one is so beautiful.

I'm not sure if this is same cw as other, and I don't have experience with the seller. But thought I'd highlight just in case. [emoji4]

It's probably good that you didn't wait. This is an older season scarf, I want to say from 2014 but would have to check the 2014 scarf thread. I didn't think much of it until Quelle Frommage pointed it out so perhaps my taste has changed the past few years. It is gorgy though and my first special silk.

I'm going to send my H bills to Pirula from now on.
