I'm so jealous of the scarf...exactly what I've been looking for.

[MetroBulotDodo]

that scarf is amazing ... why did you sell the DD if you were going to get this though

Because I had 3 DD scarves! And now that I've sold two of them...I can't find the one I ended up keeping after my move.

MBD, the L&F scarf is great. I may be wrong, but I think she got them constructed by Lyria who does a lot of really incredible fabrics and fabric tech/treatments.

Attachment FW09 Melton Wool High Collar

Threw on a pair of black pants and took a quick pic while trying. too excited. Collar looks v-shaped cos i didnt do the top buttons, it actually closes all the way to the top.

[nictan]

thanks for the insights!! :)

I wouldn't say that they where constructed by Lyria. They just supply the fabrics ( to many such as DD,FORME'D,MASNADA etc etc).
I believe the prints are from some of Ria's own photography, which she has used on scarves and tops before.

EXAMPLE

[Chinorlz]

Right. I recall from some images from a trade show that Lyria's booth showcased some image-printed fabrics as well so along with the material itself, I don't know if the factory actually does the prints of Ria's photos.

No matter what though, the final product is quite nice.

I don't know if this scarf is one of them, but L&F indeed makes scarves with prints taken by Ria and her husband when they travel. Each one is a different photo. They are very beautiful.

Zamb, for your information, I think your baby boars are born in 2002 (I bought the same in 2003). Slim shape and very thick leather.

Hmm 2003, no? Ok I'm not sure, nice boots though if I may say so myself (I was the one who sold them to Loveless). I think I originally sold them for less than 1K but not sure of that either. The boar leather is very thick and sturdy and tend to ripple like Guidi boots. Just can't see myself having more than one pair of CCP boots, I already don't wear the remaining one so...

[MetroBulotDodo]

Well, then. Lyria is my new best friend.

They must be responsible for my 180 degree change in attitude toward Forme, which I could not look at in the past without the world "vulva" popping into my head (sorry, tmi.) (Only 90 degrees in the case of Lost & Found, towards which I was already slouching toward fandom.)

I am surprised, however, that so few retailers picked up the uncomplicated rectangle that I managed to find, opting for the less crinkled fabrics, or getting that fabric in a decahedron, or whatever. Keep it simple retailers!

Do you still have them?

it would be nice to see what they look like now with much wearing....

well i have three now, but want to reduce it to two...........I don't wanna own too much of any one thing but enough so that they can get proper usage and not become fixtures in my house........
