Aw thanks all 
There were 2 similar beige scarfs, one was slightly more expensive, described as 'shimmer' I think, looked lovely but it had polyester in it and was not about to pay £380 for a scarf/shawl with polyester (must have been required for the sheen) - these are both just wool and silk.
amber - the purple LV is gorgeous!
I just think that if I take care of them they'll be classics for years! Off to Italy end May and already planning them into evening outfits and travel etc etc
Still waiting on the bags being delivered today - nominated day with NAP definitely means end of day! Super excited for both of them.
Only concerned re white leather as I'll def want to use the Disco with darker outfits, denims.. 
I have bought a barrier cream but still concerned - does anyone have any ideas re how to protect it from colour transfer?
shop thank you, think I am more excited about the black scarf than the beige - black just looks so deep and rich!
linus I got fed up thinking about food for Geneva what with the Michelins being closed on the Sunday/Monday so we ended up eating at Les Armures on the first night and a basic Italian the second night. Les Armures was ok, though we've decided that fondue is not a 'meal' for us 
Loved Geneva though.. Not a great deal to see/do but it was all about the stay at the Four Seasons (amazing and they made it really special for the birthday) and the watch shopping. The Swiss were fantasic and it was a lovely clean city.
