I've been stalking this one as well , the orange colour way is so beautiful and easy to wear .I don't find the price to be unrealistic , the design is so collectible all colour ways go for way over retail.
My first Pegase is on its way ,so your post was resonant for me .
I didn't appreciate the design at the time of issue ,but it's been my secret Grail for a year or so now . I love the simplicity of the design and the way it ties.
I 'd be happy with three or four of the colours but found my ultra grail first.:D

This is cw 06 terracotta/bleu/bordeaux. Can it really be 5 years since it was issued!
 
Great question that is too tough to answer. I have tried to refine my scarf collection by focusing on map or scenic scarves (ones that depict maps or landscapes) or Kermit Oliver scarves (he lives 90 miles south of me.

One of his original native American cashmere shawls maybe? They are just stunning.
 
Why? How? Crazy???
I know it is a cool scarf and all. I own one, but not a graily colorway. But, geez. $1200 for a 90 twill? I know that someone sold the same scarf last week. BTW, I wrote to the seller to let her know that the cashmere 90 and 100 % silk in the description were confusing. Her answer, "My bad."

feeble beeble.

From feedback, the seller 123leelu who listed the same Femme scarf last week for $350 sold it to Natmor1975 who just sold it on with massive markup. Somebody wanted it badly!
 
OMG...:nogood: this is one lazy seller, too. For first paragraph she copied wordings from that pink LFaSdV just sold by seller myscarfrings. And the format looks like of jb8506.
Copy and paste seller. For the crazy price she should write her own, original listing.

The seller is a member here whom I've noticed selling quite a few "grails" with sky rocket prices. :faint::wacko:
 
Here are my 2 and a few thoughts.

The black (and the white, Beige Dore ('rust') pale blue and the original pale pink) have a very elegant line only drawing. Perfect for evening or not overwhelming and outfit where the scarf needs to be 'quieter'. I often where the black/gold as an evening bolero over an LBD. The lines make the overall pattern a more holistic pattern. It's also one of those really cool asymmetrical designs.

The gold (officially 'Mutard' but decidedly gold as any gold can be) is a good example of the more flamboyant cws. Some have multi-tonal and others multicolour 'painted' wings. In addition there have been 2 subsequent variations that were special editions (strong pink wings on a pale pink background and shades of brown wings on a pale grey-silver background - obviously my descriptions are not official colours). These versions are louder (but not to recent season's standards) and the wings are very feathery tied (for want of better words). The wings occupy centre stage very strongly - even more so in the multicolours.

I also have this CR design on 2 change trays both white and gold, that design also comes in white/dark red lines

Of the many variations of these I think the terracotta is one of the most easy to wear (if the cw suits) and will translate very easily from the most casual jeans/shorts by day to fine jewellery evening attire. Though a potentially great cw for me, I'm not sure it will suit everyone, so make sure you're a terracotta person :D coz it's def a proper terracotta.

My HG of CR's Pd'H are one of the Le Pegase Lumiere Shawls. A mousseline shawl with the wings shimmering in tiny hand-sewn sequins and glass beads. I think it came in 2 cws, the one below and white. I think there is more chance of me becoming president of the USA than owning one but I can dream :D No scarf seems to be more worthy of the term HG than this creation. New, the shawl cost $5850

All three are stunning. Oh no, I shouldn't have seen this.. :nogood:

Oh my goodness! That's terrible! Hmm.. I guess it's buyer beware and it's all legal but it makes me lose respect for the seller. And geez I hope the buyer was paying attention because that seems insane.

This is blatant flipping. And copy and paste listing. She is a known flipper in the world of H scarf, often bought the scarves from Vestiaire, too. While I'm usually ok with someone making money from flipping, I lose respect for her with what she did in this case to 123leelu scarf, and that copy and paste thing. Unbelievable.
