An updated look at how seasonal colors are echoed across collections
Welcome to Part 3 of our Autumn/Winter 2023 Hermès series. We’re bringing it all together—matching the season’s leather colors with coordinating scarves, footwear, and ready-to-wear looks. As Hermès continues to evolve across all its metiers, it’s increasingly important to view collections as connected stories, not isolated parts.
Expanded Seasonal Color Overview
This final installment includes updates from Part 1 (leather colors) and Part 2 (bag production), incorporating new leathers and hues introduced throughout the season. Additional appearances include Bleu de Prusse in Togo, Rose Azalee in Epsom, and Cuivre in Togo, among others.
Cross-Metier Coordination
Unlike seasons past, Hermès is actively aligning its color stories. Scarves often reflect the same palettes as leathers, while shoes and RTW collections reinforce those families with complementary tones and textures.
Color Families in Focus
The article presents several color family groupings—Yellow-Orange-Fuchsia, Pale Pink, Green-Blue-White, Blue-Neutrals, and more—each paired with photos of scarves, shoes, or clothing followed by matching leather swatches.
Some of the highlights include:
- Beige Marfa: paired with boots, trench coats, and pastel scarves.
- Bleu Jean: echoed in mineral-toned cardigans and bright silk squares.
- Sun: captured in gold sandals and vivid reversible skirts.
- Vert Yucca: paired with shawls, sneakers, and multicolor silks.
RTW & Shoes Take Center Stage
Ready-to-wear silhouettes have broadened—trench coats, oversized cardigans, bold knits—and many incorporate colors pulled directly from AW23’s leather lineup. Sandals and boots are presented in shades like Jaune Latin and Vert Electrique, tying the wardrobe together effortlessly.
Scarves remain a cornerstone. Their recurring motifs and color harmonies serve as an artistic mirror to Hermès’ overall seasonal intent.
In essence, AW23 reveals Hermès’ masterclass in color cohesion. Whether you’re investing in a Birkin or a pair of Orans, every piece is designed to blend seamlessly into a wider world of seasonal elegance.
