I understand it too but as business practice it is pretty authoritarian. I am rather scunnered at the heavy-handedness of it.
Given we are not looking at producing fakes and have always been eager to give them our hard-earned cash thanks to what we see in these pictures perhaps they could have got in touch with TPF directly via a polite and elegantly-written letter/email. We would have respected such an approach but this just puts the boot in and shows they don't give a monkey's bahookie about the rather large and faithful customer base found here.
One last thought - have they really just picked up on the fact that we have used their pics for planning and researching forthcoming seasons? After all these years?
I think I am feeling a bit peri this morning but I really don't feel like giving them my money any more.
I don't know or care what H's motivation was... But I will tell you that this has chilled my excitement and enthusiasm of purchasing new scarves. Combine that with the price increase and I think my days of perusing TPF will slow to a stop. For certain, it will stop my purchase of new scarves unless I wander into a store when on travel. We don't have one locally and the selection of scarves online is fairly dreadful and the color representation (as everyone knows) is way off.
⬆️ I am really disheartened. I do understand the desire to keep designs secret until they are actually released, but once in the public domain, they can be viewed, and presumably shared. The pre-release pictures are typically from press photos and simply fuel the hype. While H would not want folks to keep buying the current season until the next season has launched....i believe that most of us are sensitive to that and have mostly completed any current season buys, heck, it is January and I am done for the season most likely!
I am tempted to stop posting photos in spite but ultimately that will only hurt the members, which is who I try to benefit by sharing! Sharing is caring...right????
Perhaps @Vlad can get some guidance as to when it is permissible to post pictures available on the H website. Hopefully we can come to some amicable conclusion that satisfies both sides. I do believe that H has a lot to lose from this, but I am sure that they know more than I do.
Hmph!!!!

Sad for all the effort and excitement and Likes that we shared here -- now gone. A big part of looking forward to the new season was drawing up wishlists and the joyful anticipation shared amongst ourselves.
Only true scarfies will understand what was really taken away from us today.

This is such a loss, ESPECIALLY since the all-en site has been abandoned. I just don't think H is interested in archives or history or actual collectors.
Very very true! The all-en site is gone, before that and before tpf I had to go off of those books of all the colorways at the stores IF they got them in! Does anyone remember those?
I probably didnt make myself clear. The photo credit should be on the page with the photo. As in
PHOTO CREDIT: HERMES.COM
That was actually not the point they were trying to make. It was directed at pics of UNRELEASED scarves. Nothing to do with photo credit.
Oh dear...gone for day and what happens?
@Vlad - I'm so sorry you are having to deal with all this. When MrBcat explained quickly what you COULD have done more easily, I appreciate the work you put in to abide with their request.
But also, Imma joining @Pautinka and making use of some looooovely Scottish swear word combinations today....

I understand. I see your point. But I still think the photo credit should be noted, even if the scarves haven’t been released yet.
Let’s agree to disagree. When all is said and done, it’s not worth getting into it.
