As a Canadian expat and long time Hermes scarf collector, I'm so excited about this new scarf!!! Thank you for the amazingly clear picture.
Greetings, Les Tambours! Nice to see you commenting again. ITA about the cost sensitivity. I think overprints like the polka dots (just wait till Dumas gets the idea using of Yayoi Kusama's wild dots) are too derivative and boring.A liquid like the ink for the silk scarves is no respecter of straight lines over whorls and curves. In fact it's more difficult because you would notice more easily of the definition between colours was awry. It all takes manufacturing precision. I can see some of the modern styles such as this season's 70cms are playing around with colour theory which I suspect is close to M. Dumas' heart with his academic background in visual art but the thing I really see is - horror of horrors - cost control. The Bouclerie scarf this season is a reworking of a popular theme using as few silk screens as possible ( whilst still keeping it interesting enough) minimising inks and manufacturing time. Using the 'tattoo' method Hermes have succeeded this coming season in making my beloved Brandenbourgs a boring scarf - but also minimising the inks used. Faconne silk takes rather longer to manufacture but I would willingly pay a premium for a 90cm faconne in a beautiful multi-coloured design that I really fancy. They could have a go at my grail - 'Les Tambours'!
But this is no time to despair - we are only at the start of the new season and my SAs assure me there will be many lovely things. And if all else fails there are those UFOs
New pics!

Apologies for this weird next one, as I had to edit someone out, but wanted to show two designs we haven't seen clear pics of:

The heart-shaped twilly box is too adorable!
What's up with the Eperon d'Or giant bandana though? That is from FW16. Do they often show old designs with the current press-day pics? Maybe someone made a mistake when setting up the vignette?
I do hope the new Super H design is in the 70cm format so that it matches Minuit au Faubourg. But I'm not optimistic with all this talk of the 70cm being phased out ☹️
Thank you @Angelian for the new pics. I spy 3 designs for Maxi Twilly Cut - Covertures et Tenue, Clic Clac a Pois, and Les Sangles en Zigzag. Also, I suspect the design under Super H is a design perhaps by Ardmore Artists? The borders reminds me of La Marche du Zambeze and Savana Dance.
You're welcome all, my pleasure to share here!
My guess too! When I spotted the border on one of the pics I posted earlier (with the scarves hanging on a rail) even looked up the border of La Marche du Zambeze to see if it was the same.

Hmmm, that seems very strange, to show an older design. Not familiar enough with the bandanas though, so can't really comment. Maybe this is a different size? Or indeed the person who posted it on instagram made a mistake (but it was posted just 10 days ago).
Fabulous pix-- thanks so much.. There's the CSGM selle d'officier I'm interested in!
