Hermès Autumn-Winter 2024 Palette: Embracing Tradition and Innovation

As the autumn leaves begin to turn, Hermès unveils its Autumn-Winter 2024 collection, a harmonious blend of heritage and novelty. The season's palette introduces three fresh leather hues—Dorè, Gris Platine, and Vert Peppermint—alongside the anticipated arrival of Rose Darling. While production typically accelerates in September, these offerings already signal a promising season ahead.

The comprehensive color chart for Hermès Autumn-Winter 2024, as of September 6, showcases a rich spectrum of regular and exotic leathers.

New Hermès Leather Colors for Autumn-Winter 2024

The standout additions are:

Dorè – a stunning metallic gold
Gris Platine – a light, silvery gray with subtle blue undertones
Vert Peppermint – a pale green nestled between Vert Fizz and Vert d’Eau

Additionally, Rose Darling, a delicate pink reminiscent of Rose Sakura but with warmer yellow undertones, is expected to grace select styles later in the season. Its inclusion here is anticipatory, as it has yet to appear on the full chart.

A Color Analysis

This season presents a notably broader spectrum than usual, though Verso offerings appear less frequently, with only neutral pairings like Gold/Etoupe and Mushroom/Biscuit. Tricolor combinations add a playful touch, including Noir/Etoupe/Ecorce with gold hardware, Noir/Bleu Indigo/Bleu Zellige on a Mini Kelly in Epsom with palladium hardware, and Jaune Milton/Vert Vertigo/Vert Fizz on another Mini Kelly.

Unpacking the Autumn-Winter 2024 Leathers

Leather enthusiasts will notice an increased presence of Boxcalf and Ostrich, with Tadelakt making a comeback. Matte exotics seem to dominate production, particularly across Kelly variations.

New Hardware for Fall

Gold hardware is increasingly featured, even on styles traditionally paired with palladium, such as the Picotin, Lindy, and Evelyne. Rose gold remains in rotation, while Permabrass gains popularity.

Hermès Constance Verso in Mushroom/Biscuit

The Hermès Constance Elan Returns

Delightfully, the Constance Elan—a wider iteration of the Constance—makes a comeback, alongside an uptick in 28cm Kelly production.

Among the special editions is the Casaque Etoilèe, a 25cm Kelly adorned with stars-and-stripes marquetry, available in Rouge Sellier (Epsom)/Noir (Tadelakt)/Rose Darling (Chevre) and Ardoise (Epsom)/Noir (Tadelakt)/Vert Peppermint (Chevre).

Limited-production styles continue to include the Birkin and Kelly en Desordre in Gold, the Kelly Doll Picto in Biscuit, the Mini Kelly Picnic in Menthe, the Cargo Birkin, and the Shadow Clutch in Noir, Moka, and Etoupe.
