Fine Fabrics: Wraps

I love the dark colors. They're good subtle shades for winter-released clothing items, and their muted nature makes them more versatile imo. (I love the designs that come out of Fine Fabrics but some of the colors of previous releases are too bright for my usual HA taste.) The style is great too; I feel like we usually only see elaborate, elegant scarf items in collection items or loyalty shop wearables, so kudos for making them accessible.

@Jenni The shop doesn't restock. You have to "make" the items. For these items, you choose the neck layer figure (175,000 on the bottom row). Then choose a color. If you can make a neck item in that color, click on it and Jogoh will sew it for you, if not choose another color. It takes about an hour and you can make up to 5 items at a time. There's an alert button to tell you when its done, but don't bother, its broken.

I was so excited to see a new item released for Fine Fabrics, which is one of my favorite shops, but I'm sorry to say I'm disappointed. :( The flowing design of the item is beautiful, but as others have said, the colors as seen on the avatar (not the item) are dark and difficult to distinguish. They also don't match anything else in the shop to help put together an outfit, so it's a little confusing as to why they were put in Fine Fabrics. If this was recolored, I would definitely buy and wear it.

that "liquid gold" is taupe at best. the rest... aren't much better.
i don't think they look identical in color, but these are in desperate need of some highlights and some more vibrant shading to give them some dimension. it's a shame, the shape is nice.

I don't have a problem with them being dark colors; I have a problem with them being indistinguishable and muddy. Was ready to blame my eyes too, until I saw several people saying the same thing.
With the items all together like this, I can barely see that they're different colors. But on the HA, the item is so thin and the color so dark that all of them except the gold one look virtually the same. I went back and forth between the Red and the Jade and could not see the difference. The best I could do was "slightly warm dark brown" and "slightly cool dark brown."
If that's your thing, cool, but...I guess I just don't really see the point in making what basically amounts to four copies of the same item, except just to go along with the pattern already set by the earlier red, jade, plum, etc items. Maybe it would have been easier to tell them apart if the wraps were tipped with red, gold, plum, etc instead of all gold? Just a thought.

ngl im fine with the darker colours but the theme of "colour + gold accent" makes these impossible to do anything with unless you also wanna use a very specific, powdery yellow in your outfit, which feels like a weird limit to put on something meant to accessorize

I may be an odd one out, but I love the darker, more subdued colors. There are a few items that I can think of in my wardrobe that these will blend nicely with. I am able to see the hue difference, though I can understand how some would not be able to differentiate them.

Interesting flowing wearable, but wish we could have different pretty colors. These all look alike, it's nearly impossible to tell the difference.

I agree about the colors, a few I couldn't really tell the difference, but the design is really cool.

It looks like the overlays have even less color than the icons. I like the idea but the colors are just way too pale to make much of a difference between each item.

They almost all look the same colour to me? (aside from the gold one)
I like them but the colours are a miss for me :(

Oooh They are all so beautiful.. but my request for recolor next time: How about all black? or Blackest to darkest grey?

I love this concept so much, but why are they all varying shades of brown...? Ah well, maybe more vibrant colors can be added later.

Just another small note - you can add this shop as one where the alert is no longer functional.

My main reaction to these is: wut.
I can't tell what I'm looking at. Is it like the Butterfly Vases, where it's not supposed to be something you could RL wear? Is this a dance troupe thing? Does anyone know where they're from? What would you layer these with?

Good thing I read here first, I was just going to adjust my comp colors. Were they made with a color-blind program? :D

these are fun but I'm kinda disappointed fine fabrics doesn't seem to be releasing hanfu-inspired items anymore : ( we got what, four pretty samey shirts, one jacket, and NO waist ornaments? that's barely enough to make a single outfit with.

Ahhhh those are gorgeous!!!! Too bad they're a bit on the dark & duller side but since so many items are like that now it starts to be easier to match! Just hope more recolors in brighter hues will be made eventually! n_n

Nice! I'd be jumping to get one if it came in white.
Side note, uh, how long has my order been finished? I totally forgot this shop existed some time ago. oops

I'll get blue and plum. I'd love them all but the colors are (intentionally, I guess) really sad looking.

The red one looks black in the overlay :(
The same for the green one.
The blue one looks gray to me.
I only like the purple one as it looks purple. the golden one is so dusty, but at least it's lighter.

I'm having an incredibly hard time distinguishing all the darker colors from each other, especially the Jade, Blue, and Plum. Are my eyes just bad or?? I can see very subtle differences if I turn the screen brightness all the way up.
Otherwise, I do like the style of the items.
