Is that because of the very deep coloration of the design? Will it get softer with wear and washing? Should I wash it first before wearing it? I do prefer the softer and thicker scarves that Hermes used to produce ten or fifteen years ago..thanks for any advice! You are fabulous Mai Tai!

I would ask a question about storing the cashmere cardigans in winter season (when they should be ready to use): if I put them on the shelf, I should iron them prior to use (as they get creased). If on the hanger, I always have a feeling they might stretch. Is there any smart way to store them so they are ready-to-use and keep their form at the same time?

I think the comment about color vis a vis wear on the fiber is very interesting. The demand for more color appears to increase every year so this is more challenging for the weavers. My oldest Hermes shawl dates from the 90's and has held up extremely well.
