Re the bizarre color alterations on-line, I suspect that not only does Hermes want to complicate things for forgers, but by making it essential to see their merchandise in person, Hermes draws us into the boutiques and ensnares the unwary shopper into buying more than is intended! It's a deeeeep game. :p
ETA: All the generous souls who share their silks here are saving the rest of us money, in spite of the enablement factor. If I had to brave the boutique too often, I'd have to move into an orange box.

I had thought about getting C'est la Fete in the red until I saw it in the boutique. The colour was OK but didn't make my heart sing.

Hang in there! It will cool off.

I felt like an idiot trying on and purchasing a CSGM when it was close to 30C and 100% humidity.

Same here! Last weekend a bought a loden coat (woolen felt like fabric, really warm). If I don't buy it now, it's gone, they sell fast. It's the same for boots and scarves.
Here in Vienna it feels like August, 30°C, blue skies, hazy mornings.

Thank you all for your input.
I spent some days off at a city with an H (I live a bit far from the next stores), so I had a good look. From all I saw online none of this season made my heart jmp, but since I love everything water/ocean themed I wanted to take a look at chemins de corail, but as much as I like the pattern, it just does not work for me.

So I asked to browse the drawers and play a bit.
The Mors a la Connetable just jumped on me and felt as if it belonged to me. But then there were doubts - it matches the same things as my other CSGMs, it has that strange diagonal pattern (did not like them at h.com), too similar CWs...
But I went back the next day: I just could not resist...
And it is OK for many reasons:
1) This is my favourite blanket to snuggle up:

2) this is one of my favourite fashion shots (but I could never ever pull off a dress like this):

3) The colors are somewhat Bollywood-like, but the pattern has a baroque vibe, both things I like.
4) it matches a lot of my fall/winter wardrobe.
5) it matches my home grown pumpkin:

6) The colors are just wonderful: so many shades of purple and orange, put together so nicely!
7) It ties really cool: after a primary dislike of the diagonal pattern I love how versatile it is, "playtime with your scarf". It is like getting three shawls for the price of one :smile:

So sorry it didn't work for you. Every time I pass up something that doesn't make my heart sing I think "money saved". [emoji23] God knows there is enough that does. You were smart to pass it up if you don't love it.
