Hi,the best grenadines I've seen this season are at Mark Marengo these are woven on the traditional ancient looms in Italy . Like you I love the plains but the polka dots are great too , the dots are quite raised up so there's an interesting contrast of textures going on. Personally I go for the 5 or 7 pleat that cost a bit more but are in different league from the normal. I bought the navy blue with cream polka dot , and also the grenadine paisley in deep red which adds richness to any sort of tan outfit and looks sophisticated with a charcoal suit. Check the links for the two I went for if you're interested ?. Strangely they said the bestseller was the plain pistachio green grenadine , which is now sold out, but I think I will stick with the classics anyway !

Looks like #3 is out of stock now anyway, so you can scratch that off the list for the time being.Thanks, guys! I think 2, 4 and 5 are my favorites of the bunch right now.
I have seen 2 in person, as I bought it as a gift for someone, and have been wanting one myself ever since.
Red, Dark Red, Brick? You have burgundies and navies, but what about the red-er side of the spectrum? I do not know if the burgundies above are on the red or purple side, but if you wear lots of greys and navies...maybe that is something to fill. Love the Grey/silver!Getting an itch to place another order. So far I have ordered:
Grenadine Fina - Midnight Blue
Grenadine Fina - Bitter Chocolate
Grenadine Grossa - Navy
Grenadine Grossa - Burgundy
Grenadine Grossa - Gray/Silver
Grenadine Grossa - Brown/Powder Blue Stripe on Midnight Blue
Diamond Weave - Burgundy
Reppe - Navy
Thinking of getting:
Grenadine Grossa - White Pin Dot on Midnight Navy
and a Macclesfield... not sure which yet but leaning towards the #80 or #84
Any other suggestions?
