While we are at it, can we also get a moratorium on the following:
1. No more cartoony designs. It was fun for a season or two. Now it is overplayed
2. No more bandanas. They are so boring. Chorus Stellarum, I am looking at you.
3. No more super simple designs that look like they came from a toddler’s coloring book. I know almost everything is laser printed today, but if these current designs would be screen printed, it would take four screens max to make todays crop of designs.
4. The entire H colorist team needs to be fired. I am sick of neutrals, corals, pastels, and orange. Not everyone can wear these. What happened including some bright or jewel tones? No hope for the future as the FW 2024 previews looks like more of the same. 😔

It is for this reason I have bought exactly 1 scarf in the last three years (cw 1 of VdC).

I would love Chorus Stellarum in a CSGM but honestly expect H mess it up by making it a tattoo or bandana format. Or by making it peach or some awful neutral.

(I will now take my curmudgeonly self back to my scarf closet and enjoy my collection from when H scarves were sumptuous in design and rich in colors.)

I am on the same page with you - you summed it up very well. I am not a fan of color families either - the designs in the same color family look the same when are knotted, and so forth..
 
Aha! Just when the thread was almost turning into an homage to Brides de Gala (gulp) my compadres Sickgrl13 and Ashanti_Rose ride to the rescue.
Totally agree that the colourist team needs a serious overhaul. I was lusting after Cavalier de Trompette ( SS24 season) but every colourway is too far on the yellow/orange scale. This has just gone on for too long.

I started the thread years ago and I'm still surprised so few of the designs listed here have made it to reissue - goes to show Hermes don't read what we write!
