You know, I don't think this is necessarily true. As someone who is young and tech-obsessed and who switched from a career in very traditional finance to a career in tech, I have seen many sides of Hermes consumer demographic.

Hermes is a business and they have to make money, and more and more people are becoming more casual, and many of these more casual industries -- like tech -- are where the money is (aka potential consumers). I don't know if that means people don't appreciate craftsmanship. The men I work with in tech may not own a single tie so they won't be buying Hermes ones like my finance colleagues did, but they love an idea of a well-crafted Hermes laptop bag or an Hermes notebook. Or Hermes sneakers. And they can certainly afford them -- and they do buy them. (I am not even going to talk about horse back riding accessories -- the sport is huge in Silicon Valley).

Interestingly, the women I work with are less interested in just buying one Birkin like my finance colleagues did; there is actually a lot more interest in 'non-status' items like interesting Hermes jewelry or scarves. There truly is a lot less interest in just status items but more in what the item and the craftsmanship is, and that's not something I ever thought I would find in Silicon Valley.

The new store in Palo Alto features a similar 'more casual' feel. It is still very much an Hermes store. The one thing they did was put multiple types of items in one area -- so they may have leather gloves with twillies with bracelets with scarf rings. I like it. (plus it's good for sales -- I wouldn't normally look at Hermes gloves, but now I am intrigued)

Now in terms of scarf designs -- I am not very excited about designs for this season, but I am not complaining. Some of the ideas are out there (the baobab cat I am still not sold on, despite being a cat lover), but it's hard to argue with them being innovative. I think the beauty of Hermes is that they are a a traditional house, but still so unpredictable. I really do appreciate that; I think none of us would like their scarves as much if they just churned out Brides de Gala-like designs over and over again.

Well said!

I am new to Hermes and have a casual, edgier style. Biker jackets, jeans and boots. I love the CDCs, and have recently discovered more modern print scarves that add color and wit to my otherwise all-black and denim wardrobe. I appreciate excellent craftsmanship, whether it's a beautiful Hermes scarf or a Rick Owens jacket. I particularly love quality leather.

I don't think H is dumbing down designs for tech savvy youth (or the older yet edgier dresser like me.) I think they are growing with the times while still catering to the classic tastes of their loyal base. I'm excited for the new Soho store. From the description, I think I will feel more comfortable there than I do at Madison.

I don't think the new designs are simplified to cater to younger customers. I think the new designs are simplified because they are easier--and therefore, less costly--to produce. Fewer colors, less intricacy, more straight lines. I think this is a financial decision with the goal of increasing the company's profits. I am not a fan of the new direction, but I can see that the more elaborate designs of the past weren't everyone's cup of tea, either, so. . . c'est la vie.

That’s certainly possible. A lot of manufacturers are doing this. I hope Hermès isn’t another brand to sacrifice quality over the bottom line.

OMG, a Jaguar Quetzal twilly!
I was so hoping for this. Now I have to hope they bring it in a CW I like!
Thanks for sharing. Also curious about the new size...

I also want the Jaguar Twilly :smile: The CW I saw was very beautiful! So I bet there will other CW's that are just as nice. The long twilly was interesting, if I remember this correctly it was a print on one side and plain color on the other side. And also I believe it is 193 cm long :smile:

Please elaborate on the CW of the JQ twilly you saw! :yes: We need every crumb we can get in anticipation of the collection! :giggle:

Reposting two pics where you can see the longer “twillies”. First pic in the middle. The second one shows the plain reverse side.
Wonder what they want us to do with it, maybe use it as a belt or something? Definitely way too long to wrap on a handle or other more common uses for a twilly. :thinking:

Ladies, I have some photos...:happydance:

Firstly, the pile that I said "No" to. The pile is a mish-mash (I couldn't take individual photos) but I am sure there are enough hawk-eyed sleuths in this forum for even this photo to be of interest:
IMG_9322.jpg
On top are two colour ways of the Sous l'égide de Mars CSGM.

Next is the "Yes" pile:
IMG_9324.jpg
The one on the far left is the natural colourway of the Mars CSGM, the Boab Cat 90, then the Astrologie Nouvelle tattoo, then Acts III and I can't remember the names of the two on the far right. The taupe coloured one after ActeIII is a detail of a previously released design.

What I brought home today:
Acte III Scene I La Clair 90, cw 12, BR/noir/vert amande/mauve.
IMG_2622.jpg

The detail:
IMG_2623.jpg

And Boabab Cat 90, cw 01, LH/blanc/bleu/jaune:
IMG_2624.jpg

And a close-up of the cat for all the cat lovers:

Enjoy!
