It is truly amazing how perfectly the effect of embroidery is matched in every detail of the scarf!
When visiting FSH last summer, I saw the horseman on the roof top heralding Carré Kanthas in a beautiful orange/saffron CW, it was such a lovely sight.
and two more CWs from the SS2008 Scarf Booklet
The ref number for Carré Kantha is 002404S
This pink cw is truly gorgeous on you! Love how it jazzes up classic black, and is so pretty all at the same time! You look fabulous as always, and the knots are beautiful! I can see the friendship knot, and would love to learn the rest..(ooh, is that the regate I spy?) <3
ReplyDeleteThank you dear! I am wearing it as we speak, feeling all pretty in pink!! Well spotted on the Regate ring, but no friendship knot.. just simply wound twice around the neck with the ends tied into a double knot. The black dress knot is a bow and the grey dress one a half bow. The small grey dress pic is a single knot with a scarf ring pushed up to secure and the black jean pic a double wrap around the neck with the ends slipped through the Regate. Top middle is the asymetrical shoulder wrap (instructions on the blog) and the bottom middle one a waterfall knot (working on instructions) <3
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with lifeatmyfingertips the pink suits you beautifully MaiTai! Thank youfor sharing these gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Scarf Addict, happy you enjoyed the post! :-))
ReplyDeleteFrom your least favorite scarf to this!!! ...and you most certainly are pretty in pink. Pink would never be a color I would normally pick but after your post, I am rethinking my decision--it looks beautiful on you. Looking forward to learning the waterfall knot--I have tried it without much success. Btw I also thought it was tied in the friendship knot.
ReplyDeleteMai Tai thank you so much for sharing this beautiful profile - Carre Kantha is a remarkable scarf. You look fabulous wearing it, very chic with the black top and hipster jeans/belt, and with the ivory jacket... just perfect. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have to say that it's your post that had me re-thinking about the Carre Kantha. I passed on it when it was out last year because I thought it was too 'ethnic'. But the design grew on me, and I can't help thinking about it. Your post sealed the deal for me. Fortunately I was able to track down one with the help of my local store - it's a lovely white colourway with contrast trim.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, you really do look marvellous in pink!! I am venturing more into color, your gorgeous shots make it an irresistable certainty!!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear fellow neutral loving DB! Have to say though that ever since I saw you wearing your fab E-L I just know that you ROCK color!! :-)
ReplyDeleteandiamo, msT and Angela ~ thank you ladies, happy you enjoyed the profile! Sorry to come back so late, the answer I wrote earlier must have got lost in cyberspace..
ReplyDeleteandiamo, you are right, the Kantha has taken quite a journey! These days I find myself reaching for it more and more, couldn't be happier!
msT, it truly is an amazing scarf. The ethnic touch makes it fun and easy to wear.. and yet it is luxurious and fabulous.
Angela, congrats on your winter white CK!! What a sweet and great SA you have.. enjoy your beautiful scarf!
