Oh my goodness. The browns/rusts/beiges this season! I had no interest in this design until this brown cw!

I agree with you @klynneann , however my appreciation for this colorway of the scarf is likely very different from yours. I love chocolate, and this is the only version of the scarf that appears to have any sweets depicted on it that I would consider eating! (Sad, I know...)

I'm leaning toward the Zen approach this season. Ironically, H's move to prevent pre-release catalog photos on TPF has encouraged me in this direction. When I was able to peruse the entire upcoming season and eagerly anticipate my favorites, it was easy to rationalize frequent H.com stalking. Now - not so much, the joy is much less if I don't know what to anticipate. I may make a trip to the boutique later in the season when there might be more complete stock in, but the journey is inconvenient enough that I'm not going to make repeated visits "just to see what's in". That said, I ***appreciate more than ever*** the TPFers who are so generously posting boutique and mod shots - that is absolutely helpful and continually reaffirms TPF as my scarf happy place! For now I am content to watch the parade of beauties, and see if one (or more?) of them turns out to be meant for me :smile:

:lol: I totally understand, I often prefer when the objects (animals, food, etc.) are in their more natural colors. But I wonder if you will end up eating more chocolate or less when you wear the scarf? :giggle: Seeing it on the scarf might make me crave it more, I think!

If you or anyone else could find that out with any certainty, you could take bets....Every half year, Hermes plays its cards very close to its chest, eaking out the forthcoming season in irregular intervals. As the current fashion season comes to a close, H scarf aficionados wait in suspense for the new designs to be released...first comes the list (from trusted sales assistants and press releases) of designs and sizes, then slooooowly, Hermes begins their seasonal reveal, like a sartorial striptease in reverse. Only a few are officially released for sale and of those, only in select colorways. It’s intensely frustrating, as the temptation to buy or pass an item is always made with incomplete information as to what is available...but to pass on something in the hope of a better colorway, can sometimes mean losing it altogether. Sometimes, due to the storefront managers’ erratic taste or insight as to customer demand, a certain colorway will never be available in your store, or even country, unless you place a “worldwide search” and order it in. And yes the online stores can carry less selection than your local store...So, basically it’s a hybrid of poker’s bluff and highway “chicken”: Who Blinks First. It’s a very high octane marketing strategy, and you can either hang on like grim death and play it out to the end, or (as sometimes happens) walk away, and let serendipity take its course...a sort of Zen exercise in non-attachment...I notice the really experienced buyers who know that there will always be another beautiful scarf, are really good at this...it can be fun or intensely frustrating, depending on your state of mind...

My apologies for not having any pictures - the store was busy today and conditions were not good for photos. My store had received a shipment just yesterday with many of the new scarves. There was one pink cw of Pegase Pop, some PdV shawls, lots of the Jungle Love Rainbow. I tried on the blue/green cw and the brown cw. I wasn't partial to the brown, it was just ok, so I think I'm going to wait for the twilly in that cw since that will go very well with many of my bags (I'm thinking navy and camel, and even red). The blue/green looked amazing though, so that's #1 on my fall scarf list. There were a few Bolducs and a caramel cw of l'Arctique that I tried on. The design didn't grab me at first, but it looks great tied - I liked it much better than the brown Jungle Love Rainbow. And upon closer inspection of the design, there are some really cute animals - seals or otters, not sure which, and a walrus. I put that one on my list too. There were a couple of Patisserie, but not the brown cw I wanted to see, and interestingly, none of the Mountain Zebra.

Also interestingly, and somewhat bothersome, I saw a lot of the Spring season scarves. I don't know if it was just my store, or what, but there were several scarves that I had wanted to take a look at that have just now shown up (literally - I was at the store a few weeks ago and there was nothing then). I mean, it's already the end of June and the Fall scarves are out and I just find this very frustrating. Thankfully at least the ones I wanted to see were there and I was able to take a look, but I don't understand why H can't do a better job of getting things into the stores.
